Wow thats so hot, so does a stage 1 require 91 octane or higher, cause i can only get 91 and on sundays i can get 93 i think.

Also is stage 1 bolt one?

Sorry i know yours is a stage 0 but i was wondering if they were somewhat alike.

thanks and good luck with your turbo tc.....GOsh i want one so bad

 

Cincy, Does the piping on the FMIC have to be visible like that in the picture? Like the bumper needed slight cutting work? Or can you keep a grill or the stock grills in front of the piping?

Also, what is that pipe on the turbo with the exhaust wrap on it?

Thanks!

 

That's the wastegate dump!!! When the wastegate is open (at full boost ~2500rpms) the wastegate opens and dumps the exhaust straight out of that tube into the atmosphere! Probably sounds mean!!!! Most of the time this pipe goes back into the downpipe, making no noticable sound

 

theres going to be some serious problem with all those contacts. i'm talking about the radiator hose and the ac or power steering hose.

 

that turbo looks mean, also whats an fmic and what does it do? and what makes a wastegate good? is the fmic the intercooler?

 

Yes my bumper is cut alittle to fit the FMIC piping. In my opinion I think it looks mean, cause all you see are those pipes no intercooler, I plan on powdercoating them black so you see nothing from far away. I have my stock grill on the front because I drive alot of highway miles and dont want my intercooler getting all dented up. Plus it looks sleeper.

 

no problems with overheating with the radiator covered up?

 

No problems with over heating, in the pic it looks like the hose is being pinched, but its not, ZPI put a thick cover it. I have checked under my hood everyday since I got it put on. This is mostly because I have been showing it off, and I have not noticed any problems with the hoses or over heating.

 

You may be able to just high temp paint the IC pipes black. Not sure the temp on the inlet side of the pipe, but I wouldn't think it to be more then 250-300 degrees or so.

Also is it possible to not have the pipes showing?

 

Come on Matt, if you were to do it again, you'd do it differently. (sophiesleeps)
This looks like an original SRT kit from way back.

My questions on the kit:
1. Why is the wastegate dump routed so funny? How come not right back into the downpipe if it's so close?
2. Plans on a tubular? It'd make it much more appealing.
3. What is being done about fuel management?
4. How is OBDII fuel correction being taken care of?

 

Hey so what do you think you will run in the 1/4 mile with a stage 0 kit? or what should you run

 

i would guess mid 13's

 

13's w/ some stickies otherwise i would assume 14's they're runnin LOW 12's with stage 1 and slicks right??...... soo yea..

 

250whp street tired heavier eclipse (3rd gen) ran 13.4 whilest blowing his differential.. this was with stock heavy rims and baaaaaad tires. the tC could pull it off. I have faith

 

mmmmm yesssss .....interesting

 

i cannot wait until there is an automatic turbo tC running the 1320 and uploading dyno sheets.. should be a nice inspiration

 

Going to the track this friday. I am going to edgewater which is not very good for front wheel drive cars, but we will see what it will run there. Usually it makes the car 3-4 tenths slower. I will have someone video tape it, and have time slips up.

Thanks,
David

 

dude seriously i am soo freaggin ____ed off right now.... its 1 37 in the morning, seen this post, was saving up for a tsi turbo kit for my xB.... but got damnart... now i was to dump the freggin box and get a tc, and just turbocharge the sucker.... wow that kit it tough to the max... i am really thinking about trading in or something, my only regret is that i have soo much money invested into my box, damn i dont know what to do.... i guess just some wet dreams thinking about your turbocharged tC..... thanks alot! lol

 

save the box and get a tc too.

 

Damn that is hot! My intentions are to go to ZPI when we turbo the TC. Looking at getting the stage 1. How much is the stage 0 putting out again?
