My car is running like a bag of poo with a 3" intake so I guess you can only do 2.5" with the maf. The cruising a/f are okay just when I let off the gas it chokes out and stalls.

Does anyone have a base map for the fi/c with a 3" intake ? I am not sure if the base map I have for my fi/c has the maf clamped

You can make one just as easy, instead of waiting for someone to sale.

Full Race should still sell them. Really, build your own log manifold, and just have a mitsu flange on it to fit a 16, 18, or 20G. Also, Todd has a ZPI replacement manifold (but his shipping is backed up, so don't know when you would get it after you ordered).

or you could do a atp manidold / down pipe and a t25 turbo or maybe a t28 internally gated which should spool up pretty fast. then you just need to get a atp intake and make a custom charge pipe.

Oh yea, not knocking the kit or anything. I had pretty good experiences when ZPI was up and running. Just saying now that they're not around the people that have their kits still should have some kind of resource for compatible parts.

ok, I installed my home made stage zero tonight, and have run in to a big problem, my turbo is spooling and functioning properly, but I dont belive I am making any boost, any one else have this problem, I hooked up my vac lines in between my tb and evap block but I my boost gauge is reading at 0 psi at full throttle, plus the a/f is giving a good reading ...any help would be great in getting this working

thanks

Troy

at idol, 20 pis vac, I hooked up the wg, bov, and boost gauge all off of the vac line that runs from the tb to the evap block, I think I am going to re-run them off of the brake booster, any input, is that better?
