Thumbs up

what kind of turbo kit is it?(Greedy, Full Drag), dumb question but is your oil pan plumbed already?,are you mounting new injectors? I just want to know the amount of work that will be, because kit's are ussually (and I use the term loosely) bolt on application's that take about 3-5hrs to put on, also what kind of fuel management are you going to run (real Important to know since it will tell me whether you need to get tuned right away or not, but just know you WILL NEED TO BE TUNED).

FMU = garbage ...

450cc DSM's , Walbro 190 or 255lph , chipped p28 tuned = reliable power

Quick tap of the oil pan and a few hours of work and you will be boosted ...

A nice tune at 10lbs should put you at 220WHP/200WTQ or in that area with a T3/T4 . I'd expect 200WHP/180WTQ with a Straight T3 ...

ide take it to either cms, or have cold beer do it, he has a lot of people who hes worked for, and ive never heard of any problems with him.

who ever does it though will need a dyno to tune your afr and whatnot though...
