so i just got my SF turbo kit today and mounted(not fully installed) everything.....i read here that its a really easy install but i had a whole bunch of issues (power steering pump in the way of the manifold, i had to cut off 3 fan guards to mount the turbo-intercooler fitting, lower rad hose in the way of intake pipe) and i havent even tried anything with the FMU yet. also on the pipe that goes into the throttlebody there is 2 parts i dont know what to connect to...if anyone has any info for me that might help please let me know. thanx.

im gonna take some pics of it and hopefully you guys can help me out. the kit is new but i bought it from someone on the site so it wasnt shipped directly from SF. all the pipes match up, its parts of the car that are making it tight.

 
Rep Power: 285

ok. i get ya.

yea, its a tight fit. you didnt need to cut any part of the fan.

Its just a really tight fit. Post pics and i can help ya out.

You should have not had to cut your radiator fan shroud. You can loosen the bolts on the turbo housing and rotate the intake side of the turbo. Yes the radiator hose will be pinched. Mine has been this way for about 20,000 miles with no problems.

well the fmu is better than nothing, u think if i install the kit with just rsx injectors its better?

 
Rep Power: 285

no, you need something to control the injectors.

i would recommend an emanage or an AEM EMS

cant afford that..and im not tuning it...im gonna run low boost

 
Rep Power: 285

if your using low boost, use the fmu.

Is the FMU blue or is it aluminum with the logo engraved on top?

 
Rep Power: 311

i know someone who has the emanage for sale.....let me know if youre interested.

The lower radiator hose just needs to be turned. Looses both clamps and twist the hose. You will get the clearence that you need.

its not the blue FMU..its the new silver one.....
also i solved my problem with the fan, i turned the intake side of the turbo a bit.

 
Rep Power: 0

yeah i kinda did, but it will all work out in the end.... it wasn't as bad as rob made it out to be but ill get through it...

i dont have a pics of the install i have a pic of it on my car but i wont be able to load it i can email some one it if they can load it...

u can email it to me directly...major_fuc_ing_threat@hotmail.com

well dont plan on lasting long with it. I used the blue one and now switching over to emanage.

 
Rep Power: 0

ya im gonna get emanage soon, im thinking of installing the kit with only rsx injectors and geting a manual boost controler and keeping the psi at about 4 until i get emanage...that should be safe

 
Rep Power: 607

That's funny.......i've been running it for 20 months and around 20,000 miles with no problems. I run 8-10 psi daily and i have no blown HG's, spun bearings or smoked pistons. I will agree that it is not the best set-up....but it is effective for those on a budget.

You CAN'T install the RSX injectors without some sort of piggy back / stadalone to control them, FMU wont control injectors only fuel pressure

I answered this question right after you asked it the first time, and 6 post above where you just asked it.

geez..............

ya sorry just realized i already asked...anyways im gonna install the fmu i guess. i have no choice really. only thing im confused about now is the small fitting on the pipe right before the throttle body...theres an electric conection for the fmu, the BOV and another small fitting i dont know what it does.

post a picture. I can tell you exactly what they do
