I disagree unless he finally listens and gets rid of that **** t25. Then possibly he could win a race

all that work your doing porting and working on the heads ect... and all he wants is a t25? they are **** turbos for making power, my friends 240 went from a t-25 to a t28 and it doesn't reach full boost until like 4000rpm and guess what they both suck at making power. my turbo is at full boost at least 1000rpm sooner and makes 50+whp on the same dyno.

Not only does he want to run a t25 he wants to run his which has so much play it won't hold together for a week. He drove my car this year and said it was too fast I just said he's a wuss and it's slow. He's the only person I've talked to that believes the t25 should go back on but it is his car so we'll see

tell him you refuse to help him put the t25 back in and if he thinks its too fast then buy a prius. the first time i drove my car when it was tuned i though it was way to fast, now with lots of bolt ons and the k04R it basically makes me yawn because i am so used to it.

nice Jeremy. good buy. I don't have any down pipes, however if this 1900 is successful then I will have a lot of parts avail. it calls for even bigger stuff then I am already running. I would damn near have to replace everything. intake, exhaust, heat exchangers, injectors, pnp sc and pulley. I may even replace the TB too. we will see what they find out about the 1900. if they hit 550whp on e85 then I am in. that should get me over 400(im guessing around 450) on pump and meth, which is where I need to be to keep up with these turbo guys around here.

its about time they did some R&D on some sc set ups. turbo's are great but they lack ***** out noise. I like noise!

Clearly you haven't heard an LSJ-T with open dump lol. My tubro set up makes my TVS set up sound like a little bitch lol. It's loud. When I dyno'd at speed factor on their dyno day everyone had their ears plugged haha. But the best part is it's still super quiet out of boost.

maybe but then again nobody here has converted yet. sound is definitely a personal thing. kevin hates my car, and jon likes how his sounds better. in my world kevins car sounds like a pansy (clearly kicks my ****), and jon's is ok but lil too loud with no *****. my own thoughts about mine is that my exhaust is a lil to loud over the sc. yet it still has a very ballsy sound. the biggest problem is sc, needs to get bigger.

good luck for 6500, you forget about exchange, shipping, supporting mods to go with it. ALSO the most useless expense I have ever seen. the all mighty let me walk this part 500ft to the Canadian side and charge you a easy 100 to do it charge. I figured it would cost me about 7000 and I am starting from a better spot. the 1900 is not as simple as just bolting it up and going. you need certain parts to be able to use it. all you turbo guys are saying the same thing right now. you can turbo convert for less and have more power. i don't really care, i know that 1900 has a cool factor no turbo can match when the hood goes up. that thing looks so beefy under the hood it just looks cool and still has some serious power.

Mark, I think you forgot a huge factor in my pricing.. I got my car for under 2500. add 4500 and im at 6500. As for shipping.. I'll be running stateside in a few weeks.. I can save on the shipping costs. And I got enough address's in Minot / Bismark ND to get the parts shipped, I drive by twice a week

Exchange rate.. it's workable.

2400 for a tvs, 2700 for the 1900

ps. my spare 2.0 lsj is still in the crate

I think im alittle better off. no payments, no bills other then food/cell with my income.. can be and might be done by May.

then hit up Taylor for a tune

Why do I hate your car mark? I believe both jons and your exhausts are too loud and I just think your car deserves a bigger sc bolted to if fir all the work you've done to it
