you'll need a full re-tune. Your light tune won't let the ECU compensate for boost.

 

QFT you're probably commanding like 13-13.5 or so on an NA tune and you need to be around 11.-11.5 for boost

 

so hunter whats the deal here i wanna see some pics and vids lol, im going through withdrawls here

 

shhh all these damn paragraphs I'm not reading all this ****

 

Updates?

Will you do the other half of the how-to?

 

come spring time ill update this. I'll need to be without a car for a couple days as ill be installing sway bars, fixing my oil leak, and relocating the windhsield washer reservoir. Ill take the appropriate pictures then. Hopefully, I can do this soon, but it looks like I wont be able to for a few weeks. Sorry all.

 

im going this route also (sign on bonus FTW) and i'll be contacting you for help sometime...

 

wut.. i thought you were selling your ion

 

you wont be the first...lol Feel free. If you want, you can PM me for my phone number

 

haha yeah i know... i have a buddy who said if i did this he would buy it for 1g more then i owe haha

 

lawz tell him to buy it for what you owe and spend the 2k on it himself

of even take a hit and buy it for 1k under what you owe

 

I got me a m62 charger but i need the rest of your instructions to be able to put it on, most of my friends have the 2.0 w/charger already so they have no clue

 

you need more than just the blower...i hope you have the rest. if not, start collecting parts

 

Do you have a list of parts you used?

 

did you read the first post?

 

Yeah I am collecting parts as we speak and should have them all by the end of next week.
I think so far your the only that has put anything about installing a m62 on a 2.2 so thats why i been checking up on this thread. but thanks

 

interviewatruins has a build thread i believe in the forced induction section. its mostly just talking about the project opposed to a how to, but he has a few things in there, especially at the end, which worked differently with him than they did for me. Good thread to read for a little more info

 

I knew I had seen it somewhere...

Hey thanks for the info. Hows yours running so far?

 

it runs great. couldnt be happier......unless i had a TVS

 

hey hunter, do you have vids of the car running and maybe some pulls?

 

all this talk of a 2.2 auto being supercharged gave me a hard-on! Guess thats what I get for not being on the site for 6 months........ Thanks to hunter and everyone who had helpful comments. Hopefully I will be able to do my own write up soon.

 

i only have 1 quick vid of a pull. Ill try n grab more today or tomorrow though.
its a 0-65 pull, with a little loss of traction in the beginning

 

I found it. =P

Sounded awesome.
