MaxRev Turbo!

Hey guys whats up, i just ordered my MaxRev turbo kit, the shop thats doing my work on my car is converting from OBD II to OBD I so we can tune it (is this possible?) , i also ordered an Apexi II boost controller, and also Apexi turbo timer...... Im not gonna wait 50 years for a damn SF kit.....I spoke with the MaxRev guy and he assured me everything would work...If not i could send it back to him / or he would assist us with the any problems. I am also looking to lower my compression in my car and ive searched for internals but couldnt find any....could anyone help? I found a stroker kit but i dont wanna stroke my car .....I am also using a Turbo XS BOV........Thanks guys....

Yeah - it looks like SF isn't going to be shipping my manifold anytime soon, so when I get a refund I'm going max-rev. I'd have to find out if they can make me one an LX downpipe with a T3 exhaust flange on it vs the T4....

Are you looking for an equal-length manifold for your car? If you are, they won't do it. I already emailed them last week and asked about it and they're not really interested in making one for the D17 right now. I'd be glad to forward the email if you're interested.

be on the look out for the manifold that i am having built...it will be stainless and equal lenght...we are going to make two different versions...one to work with sf kits, and one to work with maxrev kits...we will also do custom ones...but first off, we are working on perfecting the first one...give us a lil while and we will have something for everyone...we will be selling them on www.streetlevelperformance.com dont bother jeff about them, cause he hasnt seen the design yet...he lives in florida, and i live in louisiana, and they are being built in louisiana, so he hasnt seen them yet...and no, we dont have a completion date...sorry

but in the mean time, i will be using the maxrev manifold too and their downpipe...that is why we are going to make on to work with these kits...

pm me if anyone has any questions...the reason why it is taking so long is because my welder has started working 7 days a week and 12 hour shifts...so there isnt really much time to work on them...if you know what i mean
