4) 150 HP is what the dezod kit got. I guarantee you that mine has a lot more than that. If not, explain my wins.
A turbo auto is a lot of fun. If you have an auto, and don't feel like spending a lot of money on crappy bolt ons, or don't want to do a tranny swap, I highly recommend putting a turbo on it.

I can't speak for Gotti, but I know D's running a full catback system and is tunned at 150 hp now, I'm sure you could take it to a dyno place and get more, who runs kits just as they came anyways lol, that woulden't be fun! =)

Rep Power: 318 I haven't checked the code yet.. just wanted to see if anyone had experienced a similar pattern with the CEL, since mine is only on at random intervals.
I will hopefully be able to check it out in a few days.
Current status: NO CEL

To clear things up....
I have a T3 Super 60.
Air to water intercooler
Alcohol injection
Completely custom exhaust from the exhaust manifold to my high flow cat, then it goes through my Greddy Evolution
Stock tranny, haven't installed the tranny cooler yet. (Car has about 6k on it w/' turbo and I have no slipping)

also: how has that RS held up...so far so good??

yes its worth it, i had a turbo auto sf kit with upgraded turbo for a year. ran 5psi daily and the occasional 8psi and i never had a problem with it at all.
i actually just sold the kit to prototype friday and put it in his auto on sat.
deff. worth it.

^^ damn man read wat was posted already... you dont need anything but it would be a good idea to get a tranny cooler... to install it yourself? i wouldnt reccomend that unless you know what your doing, but if you try it I would say a few days depending on how long you worked on it a day... Maybe 8-10 hours of time??? probably more
It takes a while to put the thing on. Wait, I lied. It takes a while to get everything OFF. I did it as a 17 year old year with no prior knowledge to cars. All I did was kinda figure it out as I went along, and I called the guy whom I bought it from frequently. Looking back on it, its not a very difficult install.

DO you guys able to hold WOT through the shifts? How does the transmission act to being under full boost between shifts?
