Wuzzup everyone well i decided to do a little makeover of my custom turbo kit that is on my car. Well the first thing i did was relocate the battery in the trunk for more room in the engine bay than after doing that i had all the piping redone and installed my new Blowoff valve (Greddy Type S), if u guys remeber i had that rather large Godzilla Blow off valve, Glad to get rid of that thing!! Also installed a new completely Polished Front Mount Intercooler, which looks way better than that all black truck intercooler that was there before. Also installed a couple other goodies which u guys will probably see in the pics!!! O also installed an HKS electronic controlled boost controller!! Well just wanted to post up some pics and see what u guys think!!

 

heres another 1!!

 

Oh ya also had my new EGT gauge installed so heres the pic of the sensor that sits on my down pipe!! and boost controller pic.

 

I like the new piping and how the filter is located. I'm presuming this is a custom kit?

 

Ya a complete custom kit, but the car has been turbo charged for about a year. but just recently did the make over!!

 

Looks awesome Mike. Where did you get your radiator hose from? I definitely need one of those! Great job man!!

 

nice work man, you still using the emanage? are you vta?

 

lancer o.z.- still have the stock radiator hose just installed the slip on kit that goes over your stk lines!!

pg mike--wuzzup, na still running the e-manage, this unit works great, i don't think i will ever change it

 

yeah emanage is what i plan on going with once i finally get the car back up and running unless some ppl convince me to get a microtech.

what size shot are you running?

 

i have always been told that to get accurate egt temps, you should tap the furthest right runner of our headers and putting the probe in there. what kind of temps are you getting at WOT, 70 mph cruising, and idle?

 

mike, i think you should go with the emanage because i believe emanage is easier to install and program. but thats just me, i think the only thing i would get if i get rid of the emanage is a halltech!!

 

hotshot-- some people have different ideas of were the probe should go, ya u might get better results in different areas but were my probe is now is also a good spot and gives me good readings. but remeber an egt gauge is just to give u an idea of ho ur car is running, but my car has already been tuned and emange has already been programmed. so on the dyno the car is running perfect so the gauge is really useless to me since the car has already been tuned!! but as for the temp its at 12 when cruising at 70 mph and 3000 rpm's.

 

oh and at idle its between 6 & 8, i really don't glance at it while i'm at idle but when i do it's usually between those #'s

 

O.K. gotta ask...what are the 4 plugs for?

 

PGMike: Microtech is teh way to go.... been talking to some guys from Central Florida Turbo and man, that is the EMS of choice. Let me put it this way, Mike, let US BOTH hit Microtech. Emanage is nice but Microtech is better (and dont get me started on the horror stories I have about Haltech).

PrototypeMike: Looks nice... my only advice is to get some mesh to cover the IC... amazing what rocks and debris and stupid bugs can do to your nice IC.
