JDL turbo kit owners thread

[Amputechture]

I keep my laptop in my car almost all of time and watch things quite frequently. I had quite a few problems getting started initially so I'm super paranoid. I'm aware that small turbos like this make for shit mileage, but I hear of guys getting mid 20s with similar setups to mine.

My idle is actually pretty damn steady if the compressor is off. I try and keep the A/C compressor off while I'm waiting at stop lights or it surges pretty bad.

Has anyone tired running the Jackson Racing dual oil cooler/radiator combo with this kit?

So who's got a kit with the No Trim or Cutting FMIC option?

I would love to see pictures.
And is there a difference in price?

I was seeing you post and ask about it, it kinda peaked my curiosity a bit....

Do you really want a no trim/cut option? I didn't see it anywhere on their website the only thing that would make you not have to cut or trim anything is buying their Bumper Bar.

They do have a no trim/cut option. You have to ask for it. Basically just longer IC piping to get around the bumper and a different BOV placement. Cost is similar to buying the bumper bar, possibly even a little more than that. But the main benefit is getting to retain the OEM crash bar, which in an accident I'd probably rather have than the "drift bar"s people are putting on in place of them.

Since we're on this subject, do they also sell a Pre welded oil pan?

Yes we do. Price is $150. It is an OEM pan that we weld the fitting on and then have re-coated.

If anyone can wait till the 1st of the year'ish we are working hard to really bring the turbo kits up to the production level of our headers. They will incorporate fully custom cast intercoolers, Mandrel bent manifolds and Intercooler piping routing that will please everyone I think. These steps will also cut down on lead time drastically. There will be a few less options but every kit should be able to ship the same week it's ordered.

Thx guys
I'm trying to plan out my build for 2017.

This helps a lot.

Has anyone had any leaking from the feed line T junction thing? I distinctly remember there being an instruction that came with the T fitting that stated not to use Teflon tape or any type of sealant there. Wondering if I should go ahead and do so, or tap into the galley by the A/C Compressor.

Anyone here run the 5431 turbo? I just ordered my kit with the one size up from base.

Also are the spal fans necessary?

I can't install it just yet since I don't have everything I need for the full system (EBCS, gauges, etc.), but I'll update you guys once I do.

Did you want any pictures of my pieces?

Hey man....you ever install that turbo(;
