Thanks Casper... I must have looked over that post. So now I have to say it, don't get a Turbo XS FMIC. Save your money and only buy the best parts, that way you never have to upgrade again. Saves a lot of money in the long run brother.

Yes I have the ETS Garrett 3.8" FMIC...

Ughh...did I buy the wrong ones? Do the S2's decrease low-end power more than the S1's? I'm all about the down-low power since I autox.

 

From all the back to back tests that I have seen you don't lose any downlow going S1 to S2 but pick up 15+whp out the top. On one car he lost like 100rpm and the only way we saw that was we switched to rpm.

Ya he already suggested ets. It's just as much as turbo xs but I really really appreciate the help mikey! What springs/retainers would you auggest?

 

Kiggly beehive Springs and retainers are top notch. He rates them for 11000rpm and 12.7mm lift! Also just happens to be what Mikey runs. They are also competitively priced.

 

Gooooooooood stuff guys.....this is why I got an evo!! For evom

 

Yep, def Kiggly. Kevin's products are top notch. I would also look at getting an HLA since you autox. All the cars I help build I make them have an HLA. They are like 150 and well worth it. If you don't know what it is, read up here: https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...rth-doing.html I started posting half way down the 2nd page

If you mimic my build you will be set for life

np, glad we can help. That is what we are here for. Just don't listen to everyone, there are a lot of idiots on this forum too. I don't think I can say that as a mod, but it is the truth.

hahaha so i've noticed! but one last thing. my bro was driving my car and when he stomped on it a little puff of grey smoke came out the exhaust and i checked my oil and definitely need a change....any ideas? the two related?

 

If your not getting any smoke at all under hard acceleration, your prob too lean. Generally white smoke is bad, black smoke is bad, grey is safe.

 

its not constant just there ya know?? but its only under hard accel...

 

Are u running the e85 when u see this ?

 

ya always on e85....

 

Just like Mikey said... Keep it under 30psi and the stock turbocharger should last for a good amount of time. If you get your self a good intercooler the tune will stay consistent and the intercooler will allow you to run more timing as well.

Good Luck!

Michael

 

I would probably get a retune just to be on the safe side.

 

thanks michael!!! i'll be hittin ets up for a 3.5 within the month but anybody on the wiff of smoke?
