they didn't send me a boost controller or a new MAP sensor what does your controller look like? i was gonna get a manual boost controller but i thought those were only for upping the boost.

I didnt want injectors or anything fuel related besides a pump rewire kit. So maybe he threw it in? Mine wasnt really a "kit" sorta speak though I got a kinda moded stage 1 "kit" Mainly wanted it for the manifold, downpipe, turbo and oil lines. And that install went awesome and smooth, its just harder working in a smaller area back there.

yeah, i'm tripping at how sexy the manifold and dp are and the welds alone are fantastic, on the s3 heat exchanger too.

06_ion2

Yes they are rainbowed very nice too. notice how the downpipe matches to the turbo so nicely with the clamps?

IonNinja

man that downpipe and dump tube look ****** mint

kinda makes me want to go stage 1

They forgot my wideband bung too so I just put it in the rear bung and disabled the rear o2 dtc the kit it sweet tho the bov is kinda quite

06_ion2

Yes thats what i did too, no need for the rear o2. Well its a very large opening on the BOV id rather have a huge letout of air than surge my $900 turbo just so it sounds cool, is this like your bov?

Spanky's Monkey

iTrader: (6)

what are your plans for a catch can?

i don't have a rear o2. there's only one bung on my dp post turbo. not too much of a big deal.

yea that's my bov

06_ion2

Still gotta go to homedepot and make one, probably going to get a air compressor oil seperator and use that. Or see what i can make one out of black pvc.

i was thinking of making my own since i won't be installing until the 25th i'm getting a mech boost gauge next week.

06_ion2

Look into a electric boost guage with a sending unit.

Example:





Less vacc lines the better id say, and it will be more accurate. But if you want a mechanical by all means run one. Its just more spendy but worth it I think.

I'm jealous now! Haha. I have a kinda off topic question. I'm gonna be getting trifecta. And I was wondering, how do you get the tune on your car? I guess it has to do with the turbo too lol

i have the software on my laptop and the obdII transfer cable.

i've got enough electronic crap in this car. i prefer the mechnical.

CobaltKatsu

iTrader: (1)

Ooh, do they send you the cable? Or how do you get it?

06_ion2

usb cable that hooks my laptop to the obdII port, and you send datalogs to vince and he will adjust VIA email, its just trial and error but mostly PATIENTS!

You install a program and a driver on your computer and connect it to your car, its so simple a caveman can do it.



Im no dealer but I paid to keep the cable. Oh hey im in the picture too!

CobaltKatsu

iTrader: (1)

Oh, so they send you the cable no extra charge?

You just have to send it back*

06_ion2

Kinda sorta I dont know, I just bought it, guess I was suposto send it back, but I didnt want to because I knew id need a re-tune later. and updates are cheeper if you buy the cable.

Spanky's Monkey

iTrader: (6)

i brought it cause i knew i was need later tunes. the turbo just happened quicker then i thought. i'm no dealer either but i will tune a friend.

CobaltKatsu

iTrader: (1)

Lol dam, how much is the cable?

Spanky's Monkey

iTrader: (6)

250 if memory serves me. worth it to those who have the bug and plan on keepin the balt.

CobaltKatsu

iTrader: (1)

im gonna keep mine lol, and prob gonna have a few tunes. but i dont have the money to keep the cable >.<

06_ion2

Its 38.50 for a retune with the cable, its worth it I think. But not if you dont have the money to spend.

Niceeeee, I'm jealous now ._. Lol. And I thought in the 5th pic that those were handcuffs haha. And little turbo update for me, I'm getting gauges and pod for a suuper good deal! Narrowband, boost, and volt + the pod for like 90$ shipped.

And the kit comes with a header/manifold and dp?

And the kit comes with a header/manifold and dp? What size piping?
