If you go with the 35R, go with our 3.5" intercooler at a minimum. The 4.0" will also fit with no bumper beam trimming, direct replacement.

If your looking to make 400whp-450whp you can make that right at 20psi. If we do a .63 A/R turbine housing you will have full boost a tad before 4000rpm.

We provide a upper pipe with our turbo it You won't need to get one.

Stock ECU / Open ECU tuning software would work perfect on this setup. We have several customers doing this.

If you have any questions, let me know! I'm more then happy to help you.

Thanks!

Obviously he doesn't want a J pipe on the test pipe if he is going to use wideband in place of his secondary O2. 400+ at only 20 PSI? Wow wonder what I'm making at 25 PSI. I'm running 0.82 AR ratio Tial housing so full boost is about 4400 RPM in 4th gear. I would definitely recommend a 4 inch core. I am having NO fuel problems at all with just the 1000cc injectors (well and an AP rail but that was just for looks). STock pump, stock lines, stock regulator.
Michael how do your kits deal with the MAF? Do they neck down to a big MAF intake of some kind?

It's more for the bend in the pipe.



Here is an old graph of the 35R on our X. The car has since made a ton more power

We are currently working on a larger MAF housing. If you plan on making over 500whp you will need to upgrade the MAF Housing.

Another note, the stock fuel system was good on our dyno to 420whp at 20 psi. I would definitely recommend upgraded injectors since they were maxed, the AMS inline fuel system will be enough to support 700whp as well.

Thanks!

Yep I am hitting 4.997 volts on it at 7700 RPM or so. I suspect that is my peak power point but I'll find out once I get the car to the dyno. Have NO idea how much power I'm making but has to be at least 450 WHP.

Clutch and MC upgrade
Wideband and boost gauge

I assume you have cat back exhaust and a tuner nearby that does ECUflash?

You will want to purchase our turbo kit intake. The intake we provide is 4.0" and matches the turbo inlet size.

Thanks!
