WORKS Motorsports Turbo Kit Experience
So, after much going back and forth, I decided on the WORKS Turbo kit. I know the haters out there will bitch and moan, but for the money, reliability of the components, ease of install, and power levels that I'm looking for it's a no brainer.
I will be ordering this next week! Those who are interested or on the fence about this kit stay tuned! I'll be updating this thread with progress pics from delivery, install, dyno, driving experience and feedback throughout the whole process. Plan is to run the following-

I truly hope you are getting the one with the a2w intercooler.

I hate to be THAT guy but being around turbocharged mr2's my entire life, I think I know a little bit about proper intercooling. Good intercooling is VITAL to a reliable setup.
I wish you all the best on your blow-through setup. I seriously would love to be proven wrong. Especially on a car that is known to run hot even WITH proper intercooling. Cheers.

Mid engine cars with minimal airflow to an intercooler are slightly different than front engine cars with a big opening for a good air to air intercooler...
Air to water intercooling isn't going to drop under hood temperatures either. All turbo'd cars are going to need oil cooling, and everything you can do to manage underhood heat. Coat the exhaust parts, wrap them, turbo blanket, etc.

Have you seen the stage 1 Works kit? Front engine or not, it lacks an intercooler. I hope to god you're not gonna argue with me over this. The turbo will blow nothing but hot air! In a strict drag setup, sure. But anything else all I see is trouble. At the very minimum you should be running WMI if you're going non-intercooled.

At low boost on e85 you should have no issues imo. Its essentially chemical inter cooling with e85.

Don't get me wrong, I like this kit WITH the a2w setup. I would never do the stage 1 though. AIT's are probably scary!
