Tundraboarder666

I have the garret kit on my 2.2

PSHHH

i was looking at that when i first got my car but i figured zzp is the better way to go

Tundraboarder666

I love the garret kit. Puts you in your seat! That and it was cheaper too.

i woulda gone garret but they discontinued the kit a year ago or better. too bad too. i might get an fmic off one of my evo buddies down the line. i wanna see how the air to water holds up with mild boost.

Tundraboarder666

Yeah I was just lucky to get a really good deal on mine it only had 100 miles on it but reduced $1000.

i don't really see going wrong with either kit.

06_ion2

It is the best way to go.

guess this'll have to be my build thread when i get the kit.

06_ion2

It will be fine. I just went with a fmic because ive already got a decent one installed.

niceeee, lemme know how it goes! im saving up for the stage 2 right now! you think i can run it with low boost on stock internals? lol

Spanky's Monkey

iTrader: (6)

you can run whatever you want for boost until **** breaks. the turbo supplied should be good for some serious boost not that i want to see that on my car.

CobaltKatsu

iTrader: (1)

Haha well I don't want to break anything! Ill have to work on internals after I get the turbo. But I think I should be able to safely run like 8psi on stock stuff

i don't see why not as long as you don't live in boost. i'll be doing the usual down the line just to keep my car together other then that i'm only looking for modest power, i already got a sick ass driver mod.

06_ion2

You will never run out of air with this turbo. Hell I wont, but on stock internals on 8psi it would run efficent and cooler as compaired to lets say the garret kit on 10psi.

CobaltKatsu

iTrader: (1)

yeah, im gonna run like 8psi, then build up my internals for more boost , are there different heads we can buy?

06_ion2

Yes but stick with your stock head ive been having problems with my patriot stage II head with the fuel rail spacers not seating in the head correctly. been messing with o-rings and stuff to figure out how to seal it up.

CobaltKatsu

iTrader: (1)

ooh alright, i was gonna port it out and thats about it, how much or how hard is it to port and polish it yourself? i know porting yourself isnt hard.

06_ion2

Get it done rite by someone that knows what they are doing. A head is kinda a big deal here.

CobaltKatsu

anyone know for when you tap the oilpan...is the oil pan pressurized or how does the oil flow up to the turbo?

06_ion2

Test port on the back of the block for feed, and then the drain to the oil pan. Take the pan off the car and bring it somewhere and have someone TIG it in the oil pan in this location. I stole this pic from RLF.

that pan is the part that's suck for me. i don't have any trusted welders around here.
