I got mail

[Thaddeus]

I got my turbo kit and oil filter relocation kit in the mail today.

Did a mock up and found a few issues, missing the banjo fitting and the manifold will have to filed down a bit to get the nuts on.

Should be getting my FMIC and clutch & flywheel tomorrow.

Thats awesome man. Good choice, I pieced mine all together and im wishing I just bought a full kit. What do you plan on using for fuel management?

[Thaddeus]

comes with a pre tuned E-manage, the biggest reason why I went this way, wanted to go ETS but dont know a whole lot about boosting so i figured I'd learn this way first.

How much did you pay for the Greddy kit? I'm curious to see if the price has dropped on this kit.

[Johnnydrifter22]

Just checking but KA right? What are the specs on the turbo?

DUDE DONT FILE DOWN THE MANIFOLD THEY GIVE YOU THE BOLTS TO FIT THE MANIFOLD I KNOW BECAUSE I HAVE THE SAME KIT TRUST ME..IM NOT GOING TO LIE BUT IT IS A TIGHT VERY TIGHT FIT BUT IT WILL WORK...Sorry for the capslock i think the kit retail like 2500 i got mine for 700..

Wish I could have found it for around $700 I'd have a lot more money for other parts. I'm just going to file it down a tiny bit so the nuts sits flush on the manifold. Right now the build up of material on the manifold is causing the bolt to sit canted a bit and looks like it will be a super pain in the a** to get on.

My plan is to put a stoker kit in it from Flatlander Racing at the same time, but I'll have to wait a few months for some more scratch. I want lots of low end torque and to reach boost early. My goal is not some ridiculous HP number that I'll never use from 6 to 8 thousand RPM's. If I can get 250 HP and 250 ftlb's torque to the wheels I'll be happy.

I'll be doing a build thread when I start the installs but I have a lot more $hit to order.

[Lonismos14]

yup thats my goal is 300-350, but i want the torque right there. the kit is pretty easy to install, the hardest thing for me was dropping the oil pan and wiring not good at wires.depending on what part of florida you in my and my boy could probaly come there when your ready and have this thing done in one day.

[Thaddeus]

Thanks, but I'm in Key West and I wouldn't wish that drive on my enemies.
