Would never sell it no matter how many problems i have. Boost is awesome when it works. The only way i would sell it is for the right price

Damb, problems problems problems.. I dont think ive read a single post on here were something bad didnt happen when someone put on a turbo kit. lol. Oh well... Have you got it tuned yet? Thats really all that needs to happen. Untill then, your more than likely going to have problems. Just drop an unpdate sometime.

I really hope so. Youre gonna love boost so much more when its tuned. Than eventually your car will feel slow again . Sucks. I need more power now. the jump from 7-10 psi isnt that much it feels. But there is definately a nice difference, hehe



Where are you going to get tuned? If you need a place with openings and are willing to drive to tempe, than call

Superior Racing Development
480-317-0090

They are awesome people, and will tune it however high you want, regardless of what is "safe" for the motor. IMport Powerhouse said they wont tune higher than 5psi. They can lick my ***! Ill need a tune up to 10psi when it gets tuned again. Thats part of the reason I hit up SRD. Plus they got me in the day I called. Its 80/half hour, and takes 1-1.5 hours I believe.

nice. good luck. I plan on getting my car running tonight, and going for a nice little drive. gotta test my new clutch and ES motor mount bushings.




and everybody who said the ES motor mount bushings are shaky and your car vibrates a lot.

INSTALL THE REAR MOUNT!!!! My car does not shake at all. It is much much much smoother, less shaky than it was when I even bought my car. Its very quiet, no rattle. Doesnt even feel like the cars on when at idle. Im not sure how it is when driving, but idle is nice. I highly recommend them.

The rear mount does take a long time to put in. So be prepared. Its not too hard to take the mount off, assuming all the tools are in your possession tonight. The shaving of the mount is such a bitch, I almost considered not putting it on. It took me a good 3 hours almost to shave those bitches. They were only 30 bucks, so I wasnt sure if I should even put it on. I didnt give much of a damn. Its gotta be that 90% of the people didnt install the rear one cuz all the issues. And that 90%, is probably the only ones with the major shaking issues. Makes sense. Since only the front mount has the extra firmness. The rear one used as well, should make it more stable. I installed 1 of the rear ones, and both of the front ones. I couldnt get the mount to go back on the bracket with the bushings in, cuz it was way too wide, so I used 1. If I had more room to work with, I coulda hammered it in, but there is no way in gods name, you will be able to fit a hammer up there. lol. Good luck, dont get as pissed off as I did. It could be that my car was on stands for 2 weeks, and a bunch of problems came up. Like my friend getting in a coma who was helping me. I think hes out of it, but has a crushed pelvis. He was racing our friends bike (crotch rocket) in a neighborhood, and hit a lightpole with his head and pelvis. I didnt take half the **** apart on my car, so I had to figure out how it all went back together myself. I did it though. The car goes in gear fine, starts up nicely, everything is working, just no pressure on the clutch til I get my line. I also figured out how to flush the tranny fluid. So thats good. Ive never done that before, a shop has.

btw i was asking about the selling part cause you mentioned you wanted to sell it. so anyway after you get it tuned tell me how much the actual whole setup cost you. from the turbo kit, i'm assuming to the tuning. just wonderin.

You should be back now or anytime soon. You better PM my *** an let me know whats up. Im sending you a PM now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope its worknig out bombly........better than my tune I bet. I had a slipping clutch, so it wouldnt get a full pull or save my numbers. They did get me to a 12:1 a/f ratio I believe it was.

edit- it would slip past 9psi, so it was tuned to 8 or 9. I added the same increments of fuel up to 10, plus some, so there isnt any reason I should be lean. Except for the 40+ degree weather change the last month and a half (which I havent driven my car)

Hope to see some nice numbers though


edit2 - you can call me and let me know whats up as well, or if you ever have questions I can try to help ya out 602-446-1864

Well My car is tuned but with shitty *** numbers Wtf 160whp and 158 tq at 8 psi With no boost the car had 92 whp hahahahaha So i guess 160whp is way better than that. The temperature was 102 and humidity 25% i don't know if that has anything to do with it. It drives very good and does haul some pretty good *** i didnt get to test it out against any of my friends last night because 15 minutes from 1 hour drive my car just stopped and wouldnt start again don't know wtf happened but that got me even more sad shitty numbers and shitty end o well what can i do.
