I am sorry but I would say that has to be the poorest looking turbo kit I have ever seen.

Cheap Turbo, Cheap BOV, CHEAP EVERYTHING........

I see no real quality parts on the car at all.

No wonder the project is dead it was never alive to begin with.

As Autopainter said above, I know longer work for Stripper Motorsports. I have moved on to another job. We are working getting this done. I had some issues with $ flow so it took a while to get it finished. The car is now running decent with a junk tune for now. I am waiting on my 15lbs spring to get in so we can fine tune it. As of now I run it daily with no issues what so ever. JTUNER I dont know where you get off say junk junk junk because unless you have used any of these products i am sure you have no clue. If you think its junk i would be more then happy to run the car against you when the final tune is done. which should be about 1 week. Meet at the track and show you how well this JUNK runs.. you are in Novi so your not far from me..

I read it and I comprehend it I just am wondering why you would use such a pile of junk turbo, it has been known to fail everywhere so by reusing that same turbo are they just going to try to re-enforce what most intelligence consumers already know?

for the request of a race....I am down.....got a nice Turbo TC to run you.....

My point being is that the turbo is garbage and this is well known, which any real reputable shop can state.

HKS BOV is ok but after a year they fail, believe me I have sold and used MORE then my fair share of them.

UM SOLD.............learn to read.

If the consumer wants to buy it, then i will sell it.

If the consumer wants my opinion and willing to buy quality then Tial, Turbo Concepts or Turbosmart is what they would get.

So you plan on running 15 psi on pump gas or race gas and do you plan on running two maps cause if not i wanna see you run that biotch with 15PSI on pump gas cause I wanna see that _____ blow up the only way that wont happen is if God himself does the tune.......or you plan on running Timing at like 5 degrees and listen to that biotch pop and hiss all day.

jtuner they have to run that high of boost on the turbo because you have a giant delta p across the piping. you have to remember its traveling the length of the car so 15 psi with a rear mount turbo is more like 9 ish (i'd have to run the calcs) with the delta p you're getting with the rear mount.

Wow looks like a cool setup. I believe anyone can say what they want. It all comes down to a dyno, quarter mile time, and reliability. If its a good setup then it won't blow up right, i'd say a few thousand miles worth of driving to determine that

Only time will tell.

Right now I have the same setup Ben (yamaha) has, well he's ahead of me in the modding department, NOT FOR LONG!
I'm on extreme saving mode.

I'm just happy to be turbo'd, and love listening to the BOV =D
