Rep Power: 0 I know no one probably knows, but I'll ask anyway. Anyone know if the intercooler fits well with the tsunami front bumper? I am so in for the turbo with the intercooler. Haven't read much on turbos, so what other parts will be needed like turbo timer, ect.?

i can't really check with other drivers in VA since no one has this kit in my area. but it would be nice if you get let me know if you find out whether it will pass or not?

You don't really need a turbo timer if you can stand sitting in your car and letting it run for a few minutes before you shut it off. If you get one though... check out my DIY Maybe you might want to get a boost controller though.

Rep Power: 377 i have an automatic EX and am going to buy the extreme kit. would i need an oil cooler or tranny cooler? and since i know nothing about turbos for the most part, do i have to worry changing any parts (like a 5 speed would perhaps need a new clutch)? and can anyone estimate what 198 hp at the flywheel would be at the wheels? lastly with those rods that came out what would be the highest psi we could run for a daily driver?

Turbo Discounters, sorry about asking so many questions. Thanks for your very detailed replies/answers, very much appreciated Also, let me apologize as I will be posting this same question in a few other threads as I don't know which ones you check frequently. I really want this final question answered as it is the last one to convince me to get your Turbo Kit. Ok, here's my question...
What is the expected life expectancy of the Garrett T25BB turbo given the following info?
1) Car driven/pushed moderately.
2) Engine never pushed beyond redline (also no power-shifting), basically always shiting a few hundred rpm's below redline. If pushed, only done so when outside temp is less than 85 degrees.
3) Car driving environment = high heat (105+ degrees)
4) Avg. per day car mileage = 100 miles
I know, not the best turbo climate situation, but I spend a lot of time in either Cali, Nevada, or AZ (half of the year I'm in AZ and Nevada the other half in Cali). I like the fact that the T25BB will have less lag than a T3, but I'm worried that it will still run rather hot in the higher rpms vs. a T3, thus a shortened lifespan. Especially since half the year I'm in states where temps are well over 100 degrees. I know the ballbearing increases durability, but given my situation what do you think the life expectancy of this turbo will be for me? I don't want to invest this much money in something that could very well last me very little (i.e., less than 50,000 miles). It would be great if it lasted the whole life of my car provided I don't push it too often (especially during hot weather), well thanks in advance. btw good job on your kit, I really like all the parts, especially the fuel system and lcd (very nice) I just hope I can get it and that my situation doesn't mean forget it, I'll never qualify for turbo.

LOL, i and everyone else who reads this know you meant "shifting a few hundred rpm's below redline" but reading what you wrote just made me laugh.
