well I don't either.................................................................yet! hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehhahahahahahahahahahahahaha




its a t3/t04E stage III.

now I just need that 1600 bucks for my engine management and most of it will be ready to go.

 

nice lookin turbo!!!good company too!!

 

did you buy that used?

 

yeah it came off my buddy's hatch. he sold it to me for 300 bucks. it's got less than 3500 miles on it. should spool pretty quick too. ceramic ball bearing in a 60 trim.

 

Good luck with the turbo build up. I plan on turboing mine also, but no time soon. Gotta get rid of these sucky stock tires and get some new rims.

 

Nice turbo choice. Good luck with the install! Be sure and post pics once its done.

 

man I need to win the lotto. this thing is makin me sick just havin it lie around lookin at it.

 

right on HP. Just got my build all finished, gonna put it in the dyno tonight and see what numbers i'm making.

 

sweet let me know how it goes, what are you running in the way of engine management.

I just ordered my flanges and tubing to start on my manifold. it should be fun!

 

nice turbo.. good luck with install..

 

I'm have the Ultimate for my piggy back its such a sweet setup

 

yeah I've heard good things about the ultimate but the guy that I want to tune my car won't have anything to do with e-manage, says its to inconsistant. I want a standalone but that 1600 bucks is holding me back.

what kit are you running, how much boost, and what kinda numbers did you put down at this elavation.

 

start selling drugs royce!

 

I would but......................... I like my car and well we all know how it atracts that unwanted attention, getting caught wouldn't even raise the question of " how did they know to search my car" it would be more like "damn exhaust got me caught" .

you catch my drift, bail is just as expensive as mods

 

Yeah well a good tunner in Broomfield that does installs on e-manage is 9 Second Racing, the Ultimate kicks ace, the tunning ability is just so much better than the blue unit. I went with the ZPI Stage 1 its a big 16g turbo, right now i;m just running off of wategate boost, 7psi, and i put down 220 at the wheels. It would have been better if my ultimate was hooked up. I'm still wondering where to mount it.

 

well good luck with that, I've done business with 9 second and I'm not that impressed. but sounds like a good deal.

what kinda vaccume are you pulling at idle, I'm trying to figure out what BOV spring I need. I plan on running 12 pounds so that should put me in high 200 low 300 range. sea level seams to be putin down about 320 at the wheels. so 300 would be awsome but 280-290 seams reasonable.

 

i'm pulling right around 17 to 18 inches of vaccume at idle. I'm not to sure where i saw it but some guy here in denver was running 10.5 pounds and put down 289whp so 12 pounds will get you right around 300 or better

 

My friend has a turbonetics he runs 12 psi and he puts down 305 whp but that is alot of boost and very hard on the stock pistons. i only run 7 psi and put out 255whp and i havent put in my injectors yet or new plug wires. I hope to get close to 300 but if not thats cool too. Just an F.Y.I on that zpi turbo dont let your return line get kinked or anything because oil will blow out the seals do to the presure trust me on this I know i still have all of my piping to clean out and i have to find a way to clean the inter cooler so just watch out for that I am going to use a coustme steal braded line for my return if you are interested in doing one too let me know there is a shop that can do it for about 50 bucks. happy boosting

 

I'm well aware of the dangers of high boost but plan to build the motor before before that happens.

what are talking about ZPI turbo, I wouldn't waste my time or money on their crap if my life depended on it. its a turbonetics turbo not some POS rebuild dsm. ball bearing my friend.

and oil lines are easy I can do it for less 50 bucks myself.

thanks for the tip even though it has nothing to do with my setup.

 

Well I do have a ZPI Turbo Kit and sadly just blew my engine up. Not to sure what caused it but that will soon be discoverd.
