It has arrived !!!

Well, I ordered my extreme turbo discounters kit may14th and it arrived today !
Now I don't know if I can answer any questions anyone might have yet because it's not installed but, I have two problems already. I wasn't sent a fuel pressure regulator and the directions are for a "generic 4 cylinder" So ..... tomorrow I will call Brad and hopefully get this resolved. Also, does anyone know of a source for the wiring schematic for our ecu

I will continue to update everyone and try to answer any questions you have from a
"buyers point of view"

the extreme kit is set up to run like 5psi, the most you can run on any stock engine is 5psi before needing a fuel system to keep from running lean, mabey thats the reason they didnt include a fuel pressure regulator......... keep us informed..........

Nawe cuz the Extreme kit comes with an FPR and a dual-injector setup for the throttle body to add more fuel. I knew someone would have this soon, can't wait to see some results!

ok...i'm not sure how your timer hooks up so i'll just list off the wires going to the ignition switch...

Accessory - White/Red
Constant 12v - White
IG1 - Black/Yellow
IG2 - Black/Red

and for your RPM sensor wire at the ECU:

should be the BLUE wire on the top plug...

oh yeah...as for the parking brake wire...its a Green/Orange wire leading up from under the console heading towards the under dash fusebox...i installed mine directly on the switch..it was pretty heavily covered with tape and wire loom and i didnt want to cut into it

Question But...

How did you manage to get the kick within 10 days? Doesn't it say on the website that it takes 3-4 weeks to get the turbo kit shipped? Just wondering...

Ok...

So have I, so I should be expecting mine with a couple of days then? Unless you specified other shipping methods than standard UPS ground. I'm not trying to point fingers, just curious since I can't wait for my boost
