Just got this in like 20 minutes ago, this is the first of 3 things im waiting for to come in to start my turbo project completion. Still waiting on rk sport hood and garrett turbo kit, should be here friday if im lucky. permacool auto Tranny cooler w/ goodyear hoses, some random stickers, instructions and a free hat, how bout that?

more to come...

 

not bad.

 

Can I have the hat?

 

Finally!

I know you have been waiting a long time to get this started!

Congrats on finally (almost) getting there!

 

no, im already wearing it lol, by the way everyone this wasnt too bad on price it was only $53.00 shipped from summit

 

Good luck with the turbo kit, nice to see somebody actully doing it, oppose to someone that says they are doing it.... Keep us updated.

 

thanks guys, should be installed and dyno tuned hopefully 2nd week of march

 

The Turbosport style hood? That should be awesome since your intake is in the right spot for it. Keep us updated!

 

I'm getting a chubby!

Congrats man, and thanks for having the ***** to be the first to do it on your own.

 

im very exited to do a mod this complex and involved as ive never done more than bolt ons to any of my other cars. but yeah the hood is the turbo style with the directional air tunnel to my air filter that im having custom placed to stay at the scoop instead of going into the fender.

 

Where are you going to mount that long, skinny trans cooler? Is it designed to go across in front of the radiator?

 

Nice. Good luck with the kit.

 

you ordered Garrett's 2.2 kit? its done?

 

What made you choose this one? They make a ton of different sizes...

 

im pretty sure its gonna be mounted above the intercooler somewhere but will have to wait till install to know for sure.


yes i ordered the gt tuner kit version for my 2.4

it was my installers reccomendation, not much room left after the turbo kit is installed so i needed a compact one.

 

good stuff, hopefully that turbo is sufficient enough for your 2.4

 

well i hope it is good, i mean its only a 0.2 difference in liter output from the 2.2 so it shouldnt be off. the turbo has lots of upgrade options for the future anway

 

0.2L of displacement is not the only difference... higher CR... cams... there are other things that account for differences in power output.

 

we shall see what the track times and dyno says after install on how well this turbo will be matched, either way im gonna work with it

 

Don't get me wrong... I think you'll be fine with this turbo. I was just saying it's more than just displacement that matters.

 

where did you order that turbo charger from?

 

i wana c some pics of the beast when its done

gonna need 2 tune the **** outta that

 

thats cool, but yeah i think this turbo should be good, garrett makes some great turbos


jrp online

i'll have pics videos dyno sheets time slips, the works. dont worry bout that.

 

does garrett sell that manifold separately? i couldn't find it anywhere

 

i think you would to buy the essentials kit to get the manifold
