when i first saw it, i thought TRD already out with a turbo....

 

looks nice

 

DO NOT BUY THAT KIT IF YOU OWN AN XB


It was based off an xA so you have to modify the kit for it to fit. If you do buy it...hit up jdaniels for all the problems he went through

 

according to their info with a 56% gain? hmm 168 hp on a stock motor with 6 psi? hmmm think not . maybe 148

 

i'm still debating if i wanna void my powertrain warranty , and never be able to pass smog in ca? damn i wanna do it but i dont know

 

I want to but don't have any cash money

 

Straight up, I wouldn't even buy it again if I owned an xA. PROBLEMS isn't the word.

 

is it on your car now though?

 

As far as I know it is on his car but with many modification/adjustments in order to fit/work. If I'm not mistaken he's running 8psi.........but still needs a little fine tuning? Yes...no? Or have you worked the kinks out yet j?

KiL

 

Don't go forgetting I'm from NY, it's too friggin cold to spend time outside with the car. I'm not going to have it COMPLETELY tuned until the weather shifts back to warm... damn winter.

Anyhow, I've had the turbo on for 3/4's of forever. They since pulled it from the market for the xB, whoever trys to sell it for the xB is a dip____. Email that company, and tell them to check with the manufacturer on that.

They did NOTHING for me, the fuel system was useless and untunable (well, tunable 100%, but crappy none the less), I couldn't keep down pipe gaskets in it, etc. Mods mods mods. It's getting there though, no thanks to TSI.

 

what do u figure yer hp figures and yer 1/4 times would be?

 

same question

 

problems at 8psi...since the kit was designed for 6psi no wonder...

 

Yea, thats it!!! Good thing you're so attentive! No, actually the thing peaks around 8psi in cold weather with the wastegate set from the factory. The kit is basically bundled with a pair of injectors and a crappy controller for them and the rest of the kit took quite a bit of mods to fit correctly, you obviously have no idea what you're talking about so please refrain from responding to my posts or any forced induction post please.

And the kit does not have fuel settings, it leaves it up to you to tune it. And it sucks.

 

damn someone just got told!

so after you tune it what kind of times do you think you would be running

 

Did you get a job yet? You better lower about 50 more cars then.

 

damn that was harsh

 

i've got one and as of today i will have two. i might also get an overnight job stocking so yeah i'll be makin like 3k a month for a month or so but it comes at the price of 90+ hrs a week
but i've had my ____ty job at discovery for two or three weeks now and am gettin a good /decent job at magnolia audio today.

 

and i'm also swappin motor in my friends van and am gettin paid like 100 or so for it. hopin his parentals will give me 200 like i asked but all mechanical work is fun for me so it's no real big deal

 

Good for you bro... working sucks for sure but getting paid definately makes it worth it. I work about 50 hours a week which is all I can stand but if you can do 90, that's pretty hard core.
