Default Stafford Fabrication turbo kit

well it seems that the person who has my proto-type kit doesn't take it very serious about meeting contract requierments and i'm going to need a another car to make the system on .now this is not a proto-type system i have already proven the fuel system and i already know how to make everything fit and work i just need someones car to do it on.

well they finaly got ahold of me and they will be bringing the car to me on monday .i will be duplicating the turbo system and then we are going to go to the dyno and get some # for ya. this turbo system has been on two cars for over 7 months now without any problems the second car had the kit installed without me .their where no speciel instuction on how to drive like don't floor it passed second gear ,don't run more than 3psi on pump gas .this turbo system is complete w/ revolutionary fuel system. we created this fuel system for the toyota matrix and has proven to be a cure for many non-retun line fuel system cars. this kit sould be avalible in about a week and a half.

I have the stafford prototype. And i will be going to staffords shop on sunday sept 19th. Pretty much we'll take the kit off, get the piping all framed up so there can be a production version of this kit. Hopefully the numbers are good. It definately feels like 160whp but we'll find out. Also maybe getting new spark plugs and everything, to have it run right for the dyno. My dad and I want to be the first scion to hit 200whp. STAY TUNED!

Hopefully you guys take some videos of all the runs cause dyno sheets won't do the trick here, there has been tons of talk about turboing scions, Greddy is not very happy with their result, so lets see how you guys will do it, GOOD LUCK !!! Sean

Well, TRD made a kit 2 years ago but they just can't release it, because it creates too much heat, so its about who makes the most stable kit and keep the $$$$ / power ratio very reasonable for buyers, again everyone will need the proof and video is the best way to proof your statement !!! Take care Sean

Cool, keep up posted. I really want to go FI on my wife's xB badly. Not for the race, I think I'm too old for that now. She really needs it for the commute to work. The pleasanton hills over here at 680 are killing her because she doesn't have enough power to get up those hills. Especially if someone decides to slow down in front of her, once she slows down on a hill it takes freaking forever to get back up to speed again. It's an auto too, so before somebody starts flaming because I'm thinking of f/i on an auto, it's more of a necessity rather than the urge to go super fast and race civics.
