if you want an EX turbo....... Ok everyone. If you guys want SFpower to produce a turbo kit that bolts up to the EX exhaust, he needs a stock EX header to use for comparison. Out here there arent any people with the EX header laying around. If anyone has the stock EX header laying around for some reason, i will meet you somewhere and pick it up. At that time you can see my car, ride in it, hell.... maybe even drive it. You will get the header back as soon as he is done with it. Then we can meet again.
Remember, i live in Lancaster California. You have to be within an hours drive (or the meeting place has to be within that radius). If you want to come out to SFpowers shop and see all the turbo cars, we can arrange that also.
If anyone is willing to ship the header to us, PM SFpower and talk to him.
Thanks for all the support!

Rep Power: 312 well, with 5 psi and stock everything (including plugs and exhaust), i turned the 1/4 mile in 15.4 seconds @ 91 mph, with a 2.6 sec 60 ft, and a 1.2 sec rxn.
I hadnt raced in over a year, so i was rusty, and i got a bad launch.
Anyways, the kit is $2900 if you buy it through this web site. And the fuel management is a pnumatic fuelpressure Multiplier (PFM). So as you get more boost, it increases your fuel pressure in the fuel rail. There is nothing else you need besides the little kit. it hooks up with 3 wires, a fuel in and fuel out, and a vaccume line. thats it.
I would rate this turbo as the best one that will ever be produced for these car at a reasonable price.

Rep Power: 315 and yeah...2.6 for your 60ft time is really bad. You must of launched at 4K or higher rpms and been spinning those tires. You should be below 2.34 on the 60 ft time.
I once had a 2.2 something on my 60ft time. That's using the stock rims and tires
with the tire pressure at 23lbs psi and launching at 2,800 rpm

Rep Power: 312 well, this kit uses a garrett T3. It is much more efficient than the turbo discounters turbo, the intake air temperature is less, and the exhaust gas temp. is less. The T3 is a good choice because it has a great spool up time, and is extremely efficient.
I launched at about 5000 rpm, and it spun for the entire 60 ft. And i do have the stock rims and tires, and they were at 30 psi.

I have an ex header laying around too...4000 miles on it....Ill send it to you for cost of shipping if other guy can't. Oh, and he can keep it for a month for all I care.

You don't have to change the fuel system to a returnable to run low boost on our cars. At higher boost you would, then you have to do the internals too. I might make my system a return though (more info on that later today).
