Az3ar, did you need to remove the exhaust manifold to fit the turbo? I'm doing some preparation work which includes changing manifold to a stainless one with stock flange but if you need to remove it to fit the turbo it's a waste of time for me.

Thanks,

 

Ok

Yes you will have to remove the stock manifold for easier installation as the room is too small. I would strongly strongly recommend removing your radiator for easier installation and more room. I am gana get my ECU on THU and my car will be back on the rd by then. I will let you guys know.

 

Yes the kit clears the radiator no problems. guys I will post alot of pics soon just hold tight

 

You said that al was mapping your ecu,how can he do that through the mail on a new 3071 turbo.I would think youd have to custum dyno tune.

 

He will map it as a basic tune until he comes here in the end of the month. I will add AFC II as well for perfect tuning

 

Makes sense now.

 

Any updates?

 

YUP,

I just got my gauges all of them A/F ratio, boost and oil. My ECU is here and I am ready to go. I will be installing everything today at 4 pm CA time. I CAN NOT PUSH HARD ON THE CAR BY ANY MEANS. AL told me to take it very easy until he comes here and tune it him self so i wont blow my shi t up. Plus the guy who helped me out ( a pro tech that builds engines and turbos) told me not to push hard on the turbo and to brake it in for 1000 miles as the bearing is new. I will have something for you guys tonight if i did finish early

 

will a tomei premapped ecu be compatible with this atp3071 turbo really can't wait to get my hands on them.

 

Maybe I am not sure

 

I like the kit a lot, yet I am a little confused on how those pipes hook up to the turbo and your downpipe. Can you explain in more detail what goes where, since the website does not really go into that much detail...

 

anything new?

 

This will be interesting to say the least... good luck.

 

Why in the world would Az3ar get this state of the art new turbo kit and tune in with a mail in flash. This isn't to bag on Al, I wouldn't let Shiv or TurboTrix do it either. Az3ar, you need a full custom tune. I don't even think a custom tuned flash done on a dyno would be a good idea. Flashes are just too limited in their versatility.

 

That's debatable depending on HP goals, etc, etc. The flash is the only way to go for some... but that is another thread all together.
