I have had the turbo on since 12,000 miles. I was stage 1 non ic for about 8,000 miles, then stage 1 intercooled for about 8,000 miles and now stage 2 for about 2,200 miles.
I have ~ 31,000 on my car so far.

Hey boe, what's the major difference of going intercooled from non ic automatic, I've got the Intake Manifold, Catback exhaust, non-ic Turbo kit about 6psi....and also how much difference does the throttle body make...........THANK YOU!!!
^ wheels.
hey guru, boe, or rock.. i apologize for my ignorance in advance, but even though its automatic, do the wheels still tend to spin out from a full stop? i know not as much as a stick, but there has to be SOME wheel slippage. if so, how is the car driven in rain [or snow]?

If you floor it then it will spin the tires but you do not have to floor it from a dead stop so you can keep it under control in the snow.

driving any car is all about you... you control what it does for the most part. Especially in snow or rain. Take it easy and you will be fine. Yes the car has some wheel spin... especially around corners.
70-80hp added overall... whether you add that to the 100whp or to the 120flwheel hp makes no differance. The kit will have you at 170-180whp or 190-200flywheel hp. You decide which number you want to tell your friends. As a rule RRM only gives you wheel HP as that is all we measure on dyno's. We don't do engine dynoing.
TB on turbo applications not only improves throttle response and driveablity but it will increase overall hp/tq output due to allowing more flow into the motor. The biggest feeling difference is in the throttle response and driveability.

boe can tell you this too but i might as well spill some fun beans.
we were playing last night and suprise i can spin tires in 1st and 2nd on a straight away. dont even try to mash it into a corner.
hahah this set of tires dont stand a chance anymore.

can you guys help me plan out my psi boost
like so far im goign non ic so whats good 5 or 6, and what should i boost at IC, or stage 2. since you made this kit, what do you thin i should boost at each level. im pretty sure others would like to see these questions answered as well. thansk RRM, and anyone who knows about RRM.

5 PSI max Non-intercooled. I recommend no higher than 7 intercooled, especially on the auto with stock ECU. Stage two is 9psi, and really hauls a$$ according to Guru. It's all what you want.. NTran's non-iced auto made 171whp on the dyno.

If you want more than that, go ICed.. If you want 220+ go stage II. Like I said, it is all what you want man.
