No, I did not need an ignition upgrade. It might help though. For all the parts call me for a little cheaper or go to:

Dude! Please read some stuff about air to water intercoolers! The water is circulated betwean two intercoolers by a water pump. It gets cold when the outside air rushes over one intercooler that is placed up front. It gets hot by the intake charge that goes through the air to water intercooler that's placed in the engine bay. You're thinking of an air to water intercooler that doesn't have circulating water. That kind of an intercooler is very much less efficient that an air to air since the water will heat up and it'll reach an equilibrium at a temperature far above ambient.

Again, "being stopped" just means that the air going into the engine is still cooled by the cooling medium in a dual air to water intercooler setup. Plus, when you're going a certain speed and the turbo is already spooled the air to water intercooler will cool the engine down better than an air to air if the air to air intercooler reaches it's maximum efficiency at a very high speed.

Yes, the turbo-performance kit works on our cars. I have it and look at readers rides at moocows car. He has some pics up.

this is the same kit you offer at $3000.00...i will call when i am ready to order...i have your number, only one problem i see...the fuel pressure regulator...if i am assuming right the bigger injectors will take the place of this on our cars....thats all i have to say just easier to talk on this forum than the phone...

running a self contained one has two downfalls, 1 being space and 2 being running the new water pump most street driven cars do not have the space for this, hence why they are better suited for full race cars.

hmm.. well do u like going back and forth and filling up ur bottle of nos everytime u run out?
personally if i dont get a good deal on a swap and install. i would buy all kind of mod's to build my engine for the turbo cuz i dont mind just slapping 5 grand on the turbo. (run more psi) and build ur car for the track.. like the circuit track and rock some cars.
with turbo its just there when u need. no bottles and ppl respect ya more..

9 psi's thats a lot of boost for the d17...

im pretty sure u can run more if u build it up RIGHT?

Yeah, it does take up more space. It's more complicated as well. The water pump itself doesn't take up all that much space though. It's the size of a soda can (sometimes less depending on the flow rate). Plus routing the piping for the intercooler up front is easy since it's not piping, it's hose. Flexible and of a smaller diameter. The charge pipes for the intake are less complex and more direct as well. That means less restriction to airflow.
