Im really curious about what turbo they pick, even more curious about the biggest turbo you can fit under there

And to think i bought a extended warranty....

Might jump on this after i get wider wheels and tires and some suspension work. Still this is looking dam awesome, hopefully the powerband is quick.

250whp-300 on 93 would be awesome and if it can put down more with engine work or e85 even better!

You should be able to cash in your extended warranty... At least I thought you could. Or is that only if you sell the car?

I am ordering the 17x7.5j +48mm STI wheels and I want this turbo. Will I have enough traction if I buy the best, stickiest tires around with 275ish whp?

They also offer the wheels in a 18x7.5j but I'm assuming both wheels hold the same tire width.

What makes this sooo appealing to me is how much it looks like it belongs here.

Spartan65's DROID RAZR

Have an actual date for production tune, testing, dyno data - look for major updates from 17th-21st of this month.

Do you guys plan on making a complete exhaust kit for this car to match up to this turbo kit?

they have an exhaust that is already out, but from the looks of it, a catback should be able to link up to this, as long as the diameteres for the piping are correct

I said complete.

Alienate · 09-11-2012, 04:45 PM

So, if I have read these 19 pages correctly, The Turbo kit will be a no-cut, easy bolt-on that uses the stock air box and will be some wheres around 5 to 7 psi boost giving an additional 80 or so WHP. A complete, matching exhaust system will also be available.

Please correct me if I got something wrong. And it will be available in the US starting quite soon.

From what I understand, You do not want 18 inch rims. If you want the widest tires possible, see if 17x8 will fit.

We'll have a Cat-back exhaust available initially, and the sport cat post turbo soon after. Just a matter of when, not if - getting the turbo kit production going is our current priority.

yup. The 18's will mess up your gearing and slow you down. Keep the stock diameter.

It wont really mess up your gearing if you have a tire profile similar to the stock wheels.
Yeah, yeah..itll slow you down.. but with this kit, who cares?
plus 18s = BAUS.
