Got Turbo?...
Nice setup...however on a hot day....that thing is gonna lag like a $2 hooker.
You definitely need to invest in a fmic, and maybe a vented hood to dissipate some of the heat that turbo is going to make.
Still a very nice setup.....what you boosting at?

ya its prolly gonna be cheaper if you do custom piping and intercool it. i think its about 1000 dollars more for an intercooler and piping. i like their new intercoolers they use on their kits, its much larger than their previous intercoolers.
I have got used to seeing my CEL I just check it every once in a while to make sure it's just the HF cat
On a side note how come the waste gate doesn't recirc? And is it the same on the Ralliart Kit?
16G kits for the RA and OZ recirc the wastegate. The older style kits for the OZ do not but it is set up in such a way that one can extend the dump tube to recirc that setup also. Cost you about $30 to do it.

Okay, Review time. It has been a little over a week since i had my turbo installed. In the first couple of days the car ran a bit slow(5 psi). Other than that it felt solid. A few days later took the car back to RRM, got boosted a bit more(7psi), totally feels like a different car. The car had to go through this learning period where it would have to learn how to shift again. The last few days the car has been running perfectly. Passing cars on the road is so amazing. I sometimes forget that i have a turbo and then i punch it and in a few seconds im hitting 70 on the streets. The car shifts smoothly, i think its smoother now, than when i bought it! Wastegate has been recirculated so thats done, major difference, Noise is pretty much gone... back to performance, the car is quick, very quick. Freeway, the freeway is fun. Flying past cars without a sweat. Don't even have to push it hard. The turbo kicks in between 2.7-3k rpm. oh by the way, gas mileage is unknown now, i have been pushing it this week, not conserving,but i will get back with that later for all of you. My guess it that it should not change too much if you keep your foot light. If you guys have anymore questions about my experience, please feel free to ask.
P.S. I Like to thank RRM for such a great kit and support. Thanks for answering all my annoying questions. I big thanks to Brian for having to deal with my car. I know it was a pain to work with.

no problem man, the car went together fairly easy. that is a solid kit that will push 7 psi all day and prove great gas milage off boost since it is using the 5th injector setup. and when i had the zeitronix on your car the afrs were perfect. so yeah have fun and boost responsibily.
