So i recently purchased a used kit from the classifieds:
I feel like got a good deal on this kit. Granted it is/was in need of some major TLC! But it should work great for my goals (240ish HP, +200 tq).
some of the major concerns with the kit were already addressed including:
- oil lines from fastturbo.com
- this kit came with a FMIC and authentic BOV (Greddy sells the kit without either)
- i will be using Kpro
- i repaired the crack prone manifold
issues with the kit i bought:
- cracked mani
- bent IC charge pipes
- dirty as fu' !
- needs intake filter or new set up (looking into K&N p.n. 9380)
- missing couplers and misc fittings
what i have done:
- clean clean clean
- prime and paint with appropriate heat rated paint
- salvaged all but one bent pipe. will be replacing a section with silicone elbow
- repaired cracked mani
- DEI Ti Wrapped downpipe. used left over on intake pipe : )
Things i need in no order:
- IC couplers including elbow to replace bent section of charge pipe
- Injector Clips for RC's
- oil feed fitting and restrictor
- boost gauge/pod
- oil pan drain bung
- *more to come im sure!
Later:
- clutch
- boost controller
- pro tune
- boost controller
- *more to come im sure!
i plan to complete and go through the kit
1) cleaning and painting what i can
2) fix what i need to
3) make sure i have EVERYTHING to run including base tune before install
im not exactly a stranger to boost, i used to have DSM's... but i do have a few questions regarding this kit and specifics about running it on this car.
i will get to those as i go and will be posting as many pics as possible with my progress : )
kits overlook as of 5.15.13
