The car is not running well, but if feel hella fast. I never went over 4000 rpm or 1/3 throttle. And it pulled like crazy. I was worried I would not have the low end hp because I have a 3" exhaust. But the turbo gives plenty of back pressure to give me the low end back. And I can only imagine how much high end hp I'm going to have. I'm thinking 210 hp and 190ish ftlbs of tq. We'll see when I get it dynoed next week.

Oh I meant those number at 7 or 8 psi.

nice looks pretty clean. that's kinda strange how they have the intake mounted for that kit. you'd think all it would do is suck hot air from the engine bay. about how long would you say it took to install the whole kit?

theoretically, you should be able to do it in a weekend. It took me longer with problems and having to work.

I need to move some things around and shorten some hoses to tidy things up. But I'm pretty happy with it. You have to do the intake like that because there is no room for the filter by the intake on the compressor. The water cooling hoses and intercooler piping are in teh way. Plus the MAP sensor has to go to the intake tube.

It took me 3 days. I worked all day saturday(7:30 am to like 10 pm) then 7:00 am on sunday till like 1 am. then it was basically done by 3 pm on monday. Then I rechanged teh oil and put teh bumper and stuff back on. I need to wash it bad, it's super dirty. I still have to hook up and mount my gauges. The wires are all in the car, but they aren't powered yet and not mounted yet. I'll figure it out this week.
