Rep Power: 0 I agree with andyman, the tuning of the fuel system is the most important part, with 2nd going to the design of the turbo setup, not just the turbo itself.
But really its going to come down to driver skill.

it should be a race with turbo kits that were actually tested on the d17 before selling to the public.

Rep Power: 350 Yes, it is pretty damned sad, but at least it takes the guessing on which setup to use when you do go turbo.
Anywho, Zinkyroo, I'm wanting to do this on Friday, August 15 probably at pmi track in Pueblo for Friday night drags, probably around 9 pm or so if it's still open. I am going to get in touch with someone there and get specifics. If you aren't going to be ready by then, just say so and we'll do it another day but my kit will be on and my system will be tuned. I hope you can get your stuff together by next Friday.

I will keep everyone updated on the install of my kit. I am hoping for it to arrive mid next week. If I can get it installed, tuned, and broken in I have no problem going to the pueblo track.

Rep Power: 350 Well, I just realized something, due to a prior obligation I may not be able to make it out next Friday. It all depends on timing. Otherwise we can do it Saturday night or the following weekend if your setup isn't done. I'm going to make a call to PMI tomorrow to find out when drags are.

Rep Power: 0 how much is the sf kit? and what is used to control the fuel?
maxrev's kit requires a separate fuel enrichment system (extra injectors before throttle body. Which is great by the way), but there is a $500 discount now. So I wonder which kit has the best value and quality.
