Default Re: Stock IC -Vs- Greddy (Aftermarket)

If that's the case, I found this site www.turbohoses.com/turbokits.htm that sells better IC Pipes that will fit on the stock MR2 IC.

Tell me more about the Gforce thing. What does one get out of it? Was it worth it?

Thanks.
The turbohoses kits are overpriced. You can just go down to amazon hose and pick up the various hose sizes and lengths for a lot less money. As for the Gforce ecu...it's not a bad thing to do, but it's not a good thing either. They're old technology which first popped up in '99. It basically serves as an expensive fuel cut defender and rev limit eliminator. There are many better mods one can perform on an mr2. The Gforce will add some top end and decrease turbo lag, so if somebody gives you one for Christmas, it can be sweet, but I wouldn't buy one.

Back in the day mr2driver took the old school mr2 mods to their limit when he ran a 12.9 with an upgraded ct26 and Gforce ecu. Unfortunately the engine is no more.
