Yeah you will be leaner in areas that it wasn't before but if your tuner is going off the MAP sensor and not the throttle on tune if you stay out of boost it will be on the OE ECU and slight boost won't make too much of a difference plus they might have tuned it a little fat to begin with either keep an eye on it or take it in. A selling point for a wideband for sure!! Also winter gas sucks in some areas so that will add to the mix for sure. I luv Cali!

 

haha ya atleast we seem to have good winter gas, summer gas is when we get messed up lol, but either way, just dont try running with winter gas on a hot day hahaha. duno how itd happen, but you never know lol

 

and im sure the tune shop can give me some pointers.

so what do people do with stock turbos in the winter.

 

i just pick up the Scangauge from you order #1691 and like i said i have a meting with my bank on monday so im guessing by next friday i should be placing the order for the turbo

 

You are on your way!

 

well we will see i may just have to pick up a winter beater so i don't have to deal with it in the winter.

 

hey i was just looking at the photos, will i have to do any work to the pipes from the downpipe back. or will it just bolt up to the stock cat?


it might be 2 weeks now before i order, my bank is being lame.

 

Banks are like that

You need to move back the OE flange a bit. You can cut and relocate or just make up a mid-pipe I did the later as Cali needs smog then I can swap out when the car needs to go in.

 

crap o well how much would that cost to have done, will i need to weld that back on or what did you do, or did you just clamp it down?

 

I only recommend the weld option for sure no leaks that way! Cost depends on whoever does it should be under an hour for labor at a shop. If you want to make turbo back exhaust let me know I'll include the flange to connect the dp.

 

if you would not mind when i order that would be great, i talked to the best shop here in town 4-8 hours for install at 75 an hour and 2 hours of dyno tuning at 150 an hour dose that sound like high prices?

 

Sounds fair, labor rate is about normal and we pay around $180 for dyno time.

 

great, just wanted to check with some one in the same industry. its not like our town is crawling in tuner shops like cali is, i would think that they would take advantage of that, but it dose not look like it.


hey can you get anything from HKS, was looking for the type 0 turbo timer

 

Yeah I don't mind paying the prices if the shop has the know how, a couple of extra bucks spent can save you a ton later!

As for HKS, yes... http://www.365motorwerks.com/turbotimers.aspx

 

sweet i must of missed that.

i dig what you say, you get what you pay for with anything.

my car gets nothing but the best


now just how am i going to tell why i spent this cash to my GF, we all ready fight about my car,and how much i spend on it.

i got it, i will tell her i won it

 

It's easier to ask for forgiveness then permission...or something like that. I'm know for past impulse purchases from a semi-running datsun 510 with a race motor that "appeared" at my house late one night a old school VW Rabbit shell that was dropped off in the driveway on a tow hook out of the blue to going to "look" at many motorcycles over the years that followed me home. If I leave the house with a fat pocket towing a trailer you never know what I might "find"!
Moral... do what you are going to do.

 

yeah we worked it out shes letting me get it if i buy her an i pod touch so i think thats fair.


was wondering could i get a few decals when i order. want to rock them, and support your company. 8" in silver if i could.

 

should be ordering next friday.

 

I'll keep 'em crossed for you as well..

 

well it looks as soon as Tuesday now, my loan just went in, and i have the cash now.

I cant wait.
