Hey guys,
I ordered the kit and it should be here in about 2 weeks. I have been making of list of small tools and such i've seen on the install posts. Is there any specific things that helped you all with the install? Also all I bought was the turbo kit/ tune, will that be enough for now? I plan on getting a catch can and oil cooler eventually, but just wanted to make sure I can survive a little while without it. |

Be sure to install the wastegate to the manifold before securing the manifold to the engine. If they aren't already included, get some hose clamps and secure them on both ends of the turbo oil drain hose over where it meets the push-lock fittings. How long is a little while for running without a catch can and oil cooler? I would say that a catch can is critical on a turbo engine as you'll get blowby and crankcase pressure as soon as you start boosting it. Without a catch can, that blowby will recirculate directly back into your intake manifold and reduce your octane and performance. Also the stock rear pcv valve is not designed for boost. I recommend the Verus Engineering can, but if you're on a budget, the Mishimoto 3-port can is decent (just order it separately with the BRZ/FRS mounting bracket). Make sure you read my post in the owner's group on how to properly set up your catch can. Since you are in California, an engine oil cooler is also a must-have for hard driving, especially in summer months. Your turbo is going to heat up the oil as it's fed through it and you may see temperatures approach dangerous levels after a few back to back pulls without an oil cooler. If you want to wait, just make sure you run 5w30 oil and change it more frequently until you get a cooler, and monitor your oil temps, making sure they don't go above 230-240F. |

Thoughts on this kit with stock engine internals?

Keep the boost low (7-10 psi) and the fuel octane high (93+) and stock engines will be fine

And if I ran low boost with E85? What kind of rpm could I expect it to hit full boost?

The base kit comes with a small, quick spooling turbo that delivers low boost as soon as 3000-3500 RPMs. |

Is anybody seeing low output numbers with the no cut ic option? First day on the dyno after breaking in the new block and only put up 210whp. Another guy with the v1 kit and same turbo put up 287 on the same dyno. I'm wondering if there is a boost pressure drop situation with the no cut.

We pressure tested the system when we got on the dyno and found no leaks. But you are right the car is just not making boost so there must be a leak somewhere. Thanks for the reply Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

You may need to use smoke when pressure testing so you can find the leak

You sure wastegate is hooked up/installed correctly? Sounds like valve seat in wastegate wasn’t installed
