For those of you who did purchase from BD

[chesirekat]

I spent a great deal of time with PJ in Panama City, my car resided at their old shop for approximately 4 months. I spent approx. $7,000-$8,000 (including various mishaps and all sorts of small stuff) Believe me, PJ and I have had our "heated" chats and disagreements. I have a few close friends who can back me on that one. However, I am not the one to determine the fate of boostdesigns and I have no ill will towards them. I will say that PJ is a man with good ideas and good purpose, just needs a lot of direction in getting there....however, once he does this will be something great for us all.....so hears to the future of BD

As I am not much for posting unless I truly have a question:I am posting this for two reasons:1. For those of you who have purchased from BD products and want to see how there kit turned out, please feel free to email me ([email protected])2. Of course to show off something I'm proud of

With that said, here she is:She pulls very hard at a current high boost of 13-15psi. However, I am still working out small issues. Brian (Orion) can attest to this as he hears from me about once a day....

My CarJust finished but looking for 20+ psi 400-500rwhp, 2800lbs, stay in God's hands round the corners and in the straights, you do the math...

do you have a head on shot of the intercooler and a shot closer to the side of the ic so i can see the plumping of the passenger side?

have to work on the side shot for you later....the plumbing on the passenger side is a bit tricky...if you imagine the square, well rectangle where the battery used to be (assuming you relocated it) you need to cut a hole towards the front of that square for the piping to pass through....

thanks looks clean and the bumper doesnt have to get trashed up for fitment

[skatanic28]

couple questions for ya....

how did that old turbo work out for ya?

how did you end up mounting your fmic? the mounting tabs on mine seem to be hitting the arms before it can get more than 1/4" in.

looks like a great setup though

[DRIFTEADOR]

nice whip (thats for you wd =P ). no, really, good looking car though. I never really liked the stock usdm bumper, but I think it's starting to grow on me. the price for the jdm one + lip probably had something to do with it....

have you had a chance to dyno at the current boost?

[fiznat]

Nice setup, very clean! ..,And I'm glad to see Boost Desgins did work out for some people. Any idea what kind of power she's putting down now with the 13-15psi?

What kinds of problems are you having with her? I'm sure we can help ya figure some of it out...

[chesirekat]

Just minor things, timing chain slappin a bit (sounds like lincoln logs tapping together on the valve cover)....Other than that and a few other weird things she pulls quite hard...Finally, got the damn greddy profec B spec II bc figured out and what a difference....

You got your guides out, right?

[sanioll]

thats a very nice looking machine.

two things you might want to perfect though:

--exhaust muffler is angled/big and doesn't contribute to the looks.

--make sure to heatshield under the hood, or you will be melting some stuff. especially brake master cylinder reservour.

good vehicle though.

The pic of the engine bay was before the vehicle was driven for the 1st time. Believe me, the brake master cyclinder has quite a bit of insulation around it, not to mention the water lines going to the turbo...Also, I know, BoostDesigns Exhaust system is ugly as hell and sticks out in the back....this will be remedied by cutting and moving the exhaust further under the car....
