Default Back to stock

I curently live in p.r. And I'm planning on moving to tx to go to uti and use my gibill so I'm gonna get rid of my car. its a 2005 tc with a custom kit . I'm running a garett t3/t4 61ar, emanage ultimate, 650cc injectors, log mani , etc. My question is , is it better to part the kit and sell it or to just give the car as is? I don't have any stock parts that's the biggest problem .

Ohh and just to throw it in I lost a race to a supercharged tc and when I got to talk to the guy he was running 15psi on a built block, didn't know u could push a sc that high

That was the idea at first I'm just gonna ask whoever buys the injectors to get me the stock ones and I guess ill have to get rid of the 3 inch pipe that goes straight back with no cat or anything just a single pipe

Don't sound right. You on 12lbs on a turbo > 15lbs on a S/C'er Built motor or not.

Kinda bench racing a little but look at the difference between my turbo on 8lbs (back when I was on 8lbs) vs a Full bolt-on S/C'ed tC running the same boost (my friends tC 9lbs to be exact).

This was 12lbs on my turbo untuned (20G). Is your tC as fast or faster on 12lbs of boost as this (if not, then your not setup right):

Were u running same turbo as me ? Anyways I never found a good tuner for the ultimate there is a guy here on sl from pr with like 500whp but I think he runs on microtech like most fast cars here. I also never belived that I needed 3 inch pipes. But my car is still fast and I never had any major issues. The sc tc I talked about is on scionevolution or at least had the bumper sticker. Maybe I just sucked driving that day....

First video I was running a 16G (lot smaller turbo than what you run) on 8lbs.

Second video was using a 20G on 12lbs.


And unless the guy was running high compression pistons instead of low in his built motor, he would be making less hp than a stock motor at the same boost level. Perhaps he was sand bagging and sprayed the "cheater" juice on you too....
