Good luck mate, keep us posted on how things go

[skipbarber]

id suggest a wideband guage to aid with tuning and some denso ik20's or something similar for ignition. make sure you restrict the oil feed and get a catch can to replace your PCV.

oil lines came with the kit...using a vaccum manifold with standard rubber lines to run them...

Hey what's up man. That was my custom made kit that I sold last spring. I thought the guy I sold it too lived in Texas though. I love that kit. Everything fit nicely and it looks awesome. I spent a ton of time cleaning and polishing the intercooler, intercooler pipes, blow off valve and wastegate just before I sold it ( not that it needed it but I'm very anal when it comes to my car). That kit looked soo awesome when I had it on my car. Man I miss boost lol. I'm going to be ordering parts soon for my next project. I've been practicing on my welding skills and soon enough I'll be boosting again with my very own kit. That kit I had a local shop fabricate for me. They usually made half ass kits but my kit came out awesome because they would only work on it when I was there. It took around 2 months to fabricate because I would only go there on Saturdays for a few hours so they can work on it. The shop was located in a shitty are and Ididn't feel comfortable leaving my baby there. Anyways good luck with it and happy boosting.

yeh i bought it from him over winter...and added some parts...

what did you use for engine mgmt since he added on the emanage and what not...

[rplopes]

To tell you the truth I didn't run any EMS. I was running on the wastegate spring and the car ran awesome everytime I drove it. I really didn't care if I blew the engine up because I was building a spare one for boost.

you should try PLX M300 Adam.

can stick it in the place underneath the CD player, plan on doing that for me.

Hey what's up buddy. The wastegate has the .40 bar spring, which is 5.80 psi. The blow off valve spring was new when I sold the kit. I never really heard the blow off valve so I figured I was running a really high psi spring, which turns out I was running the 11psi spring. The new is the 7psi spring which you should be able to hear the valve go off. Let me know if you have anymore questions. I have pics if you want to look at the kit installed. Bye for now.

No need to be a jerk. Have you ever written/designed a website?
