The stages thus far lean more towards long term reliability. I've been continuing testing at 10psi and will increase here shortly. We will be adding a fuel injector to the car to move forward.

Is it possible to use the stock intake location/air box?

Might have something to do with the Dyno graph on the first few pages of this thread. maybe he should throw the most recent one up there?

Wouldn't a hood scoop help out with this? Although, I don't think it'd compliment the aesthetics...

I'd think the hood scoop would look like dog!

Who's doing your kit? Where are the pictures!

[Don@Accelerated]

ECUTek and John Visconti have given me launch control to test with the turbo setup!

On its basic out of the box configuration I was able to reach 4-5psi at 4000rpm!

Quick question.

You say that it makes 290WHP with the "Basic kit" but I am still not sure if that is with or without ECU because you say it "uses factory injectors and ecu" but then say "the tuning is provided via ecutek".

Just trying to clear it up because we are having a discussion here about best bang for your buck mods. Does the kit make 290WHP for the $4,995 plus $750 install or is there a cost involved for the tune?

Thanks!

[Don@Accelerated]

ECUtek is on the factory ecu. You need to purchase it from ECUtek via John Visconti.

The factory by itself cannot control the boost alone.

Yeah and then even more power to come with that and bigger exhaust pieces etc. People are way too quick to judge.

Have pictures been posted of the cold air kit?

Click my sig. We're in the process of parts coming in the mail right now. Nothing extremely exciting.

Question here that might of been asked before. Are you able to keep the windshieldwasher bottle with the piping going in that tight corner on the drivers side?

The stock piece does not stay. I give you another with relocation brackets.

Thanks for the quick answer!

No. I had it on mine for a short period, but then had to cut it up for a turbo kit I sold. I need to pop together another. I just hate taking the bumper off.

Don't know if this has been asked but when is the kit available?

Ahh, I see. Cant wait to see a pic of it though, Im curious. The itch to go FI is very strong.

[EN2_Squirrel]

pretty sweet

So how is cruising fuel economy with this little turbo? And 280whp is limit of injectors and clutch only, or is there something else limiting you guys?
