Good luck guys

looks great! Just don't forget the RHD love

noAE86 · 07-30-2012, 02:15 AM

that turbo placement is sweet, and love the stock usage of parts to keep it "legal" looking,

just had a look at your site.... its nice to see legit pricing. Do you plan to offer this kit with a tune as well?

AkaJabari · 07-30-2012, 08:39 AM

Turbo placement that makes sense. I approve.

I would love to be able to follow this as closely as the Accelerated Performance build. Please keep us as up to date as possible. I am already intrigued.

great project

wcbjr · 07-30-2012, 09:32 AM

What oil return system will you be using?

BOXER RUMBLE!!!! I wanna hug you guys for this.
I thought I was the only person who thought this! I'm so glad we agree on this! This is a beautiful set up you guys have here!
I can't wait, based on your experience and reputation I'll be watching you guys closely! now all we need is an affordable kit

any boost targets? Honestly I'd like to keep it low I think 5psi should be a healthy boost for this car but you guys are the experts!

subatoy · 07-30-2012, 10:24 AM

do you guys have an ETA on this kit?

Speaking of, any plans for urethane bushings?

I'm okay with that. I have this mental barrier against the installed price being over 5k or so on a 25k car. More than willing to pay for quality, however.

Thank goodness for the UEL header. I agree with you completely that the EL headers lack character!

Prototyping will be finished within a few weeks - testing, making factory lines, and such will take a bit longer.

Ok, so it looks like were looking at a few months for this project to be complete, fine with me, but I have a question to anyone on this forum;

With all the aftermarket parts already available now, i.e, exhaust, header, pulley, etc., what could someone purchase now that they would be abale to use with this current turbo in progress? (sorry, limited knowledge here about this stuff)

Also, and unfortunately, many of us live in car restricted California, so please keep that in mind. thanks..

you could buy cat back exhaust, intake systems(questionable depending on turbo kit), pulleys.
Just stay away from buying headers and you should be good if you are planning on later adding a turbo kit.
