Turbo install is done!!! SF RULEZ!

Man. At only 3psi I pulled on a Supra TT in 1st and 2nd gear. I'm running 4.5 right now and it's so damn fast. When I get my MBC I'm looking to run 7 until the alcohol system comes in.

I ran into no major problems. Make sure the map senors and missing link valve is secured properly, my car started reving to 3k then dropping over and over. All I had to do was seal the lil tube that goes into the hole that the map sensor was in. Works fine now.

I am glad to see that you got home ok!

you guys should come down together. We should also get civic2k2kid, iamboo, and yourinmyw0rld to all come down as well. That would be 6 boosted 7thgens in the same place at the same time.

thats awesome.. hopefully i can take a trip to cali by the summer and get my turbo in too.

as for pulling on the supra TT. the supra probably had it so that both turbos go full boost at like 5k RPM. but u definitly wont win. my cousin ran 12.9 stock. with just a boost controller, and thats only at 13 lb of boost cuz we were miss firiing up high, he usually runs 20lb =D

cant wait to get my turbo!

I believe the nitrous setup...but I see no proof of the turbo. In your profile, it even says you have an injen intake and "pc chip". ECU mods related to that of the VCN400 and Jet ECU would give you a blown engine when running turbo. If I'm wrong please let me know, but your profile doesn't agree with your statement. Any pics too? I like seeing different stuff...
