Turbo upgrade gone bad
today i checked the boost drop on the intercooler for ha has and im getting 28psi before the intercooler and around 23psi after the intercooler. this might be some of my problems
No you just don't know about this kit. Some have made power with it but you have to port the **** out of the hotside to get it to flow properly. So much turbulence in this setup going from a twin scroll manifold to a single scroll in one hotside. Personally I would get a better manifold compared to a stock one to run a larger turbo. A guys is selling an agency power manifold, 02, and dump for $400 shipped. You can sell your hotside to someone for 200. Sell your stock manifold to me for $60 since I post
and buy the hotside and enjoy your new power. Also much better spool.
and buy the hotside and enjoy your new power. Also much better spool.I must know something about the kit since I have 1 on my car now right?
I am running a Megan header, but the factory manifold would NEVER limit a 35r to 400hp. EVER.
BOOST LEAK.
Put your stock intercooler back on and let us know the reults. This will cost you $0.
Take the intercooler to a local radiator shop and have them pressure test it ($30) or go to home depot and buy a cap for one side of the cooler and make a pressure tester for the otherside yourself (priceless).
As i mentioned before, there is a BUG in your set-up somewhere. You may be lucky enough to have found it in one shot.
Atp is not as good as Buschur or Ams-- We all know this. Facts are you own one and it's on your car now. Please don't be so quick to blow money away untill you work out all of the weaknesses.
