$4k gets you a turbo, all the piping, intercooler, BOV, wastegate, custom header, harness, fuel managment, plug and play harness thats pre-tuned.... youre not saving money, youre gonan give yourself a headache!! lol i mean best luck to you and all, but its safer to go with a system thats specific for the car. your gonan need like 500ml injectors, and the fuel pump doesnt need to be changed. but that plug and play harness is a life saver

Kits are for pussies.

Real men piece and weld their stuff together. Then blow it up and start all over.

Headers arn't gunna be made till saterday now. there was a delay in the delivery of the piping. Will keep everyone posted!

3k will get me " a turbo(bigger than yours), all the piping(Red powder coated), intercooler(Black powder coated), BOV(HKS SSQV), wastegate(Tial External & Open Dump), custom header, 550cc injectors,fuel managment, plug and play harness" How am i not saving money? How is this not specific for my car ... its custom? from a professional installer?

bigger turbo.... putting out half the psi i am. so does it matter what size it is? the engine can onlly take so much boost. what about exhuast? youre not going to run a turbo on a stock exhuast and cat are you? plus tune, and dyno? theres the extra $1k so you pretty much spent the same as me! and powder coat the tubing all you want. you need to wrap it in the heatshield tape. that down pipe will melt wires in a heartbeat. it runs about 1800 degress at the headers. dont forget to tell him to put a heat shield on the firewall....crocks got so hot it melted the ceramic coating on it

1 dont powder coat your FMIC it'll clog it up .. paint it with ceramic or with heat dispersion.. (something that has thermal properties to it)

2 a bigger turbo isnt necessarily a good idea.. bu long as your smart with the boost you might be ok

3 what part of ct

4you shouldnt need to wrap the header

and 5 yes KIA he will save money in the end if his installer knows what he's doing lol however this also depends on the sch piping he's using compaired to TKs and such there are alot of factors to look at

 

[garnettti]

im not getting my down pipe powder coated lmfao! Also i said im starting at 4.5 then going to 8 lol. and i k turbo kits doesnt give you a free dyno lol so how much did that run you? Obviously im gunna wrap the headers and downpipe but you dont wrap intercooler piping. I already have a cat back exhaust so subtract whatever you said that would cost. Plus im getting a free dyno and tune ............

If you need a Air/Fuel controller or even a A/F and Timing controller then you can always go with Split Second. They even have an extra injector controller so you can run a 5th injector for fuel as a lot of aftermarket kits do.

As for the intercooler, are you keeping the foam crash bar or no removing it for more space? I know in some cars you can put in a much bigger intercooler by taking out the 5 MPH bumper.

Well when it's all said and done and the final price is totaled up let me know maybe I'll get this kit

Thanks for the advice! .. Im not sure about taking out the foam crash bar or not. Again i dont know everything and my installer is taking the time as we go to figure these things out ... People hava asked about the R&D of my kit and it is as we go for the most part ... researching what we can but expirementing as well. Thanks again for the advise! ill run it by my guy as an option!

You realize you're doing something that alot of members have wanted for so long but never got the balls/cash to do.


PS: a little off topic, but got any model numbers for your sub/amp config?

 

[garnettti]

lol well i make minimum wage 8.25$ / hour and i havnt been saving that long and i can afford it lol ... im only 19. and i guess i have balls lol but then again im going baby boost then pushing it up. Not trying to blow my engine because that i cant afford lol. But my subs are just the standard yellow 12'' kicker comps ... not the red cv's or anything to to great but my subs still hammer=]. The amp is a Kenwood 500 Watt rms mono amp. Also a hatchback size Bassworx box. It hits impressivley hard and clear. ill be downgrading soon to get rid of the weight in my trunk.

+1.... It has come up in conversation at work about doing a custom turbo kit. Since i work with a guy with a boosted s2k and another guy with a probe that beat a viper. I really would like to see how this build comes out.

 

[DevilsX]

You don't need to move the bumper absorber foam piece, it's very thin and it doesn't take up any space at all.
