there are a handful of guys in Oklahoma running DSM ECUs on KAs making outstanding power on stock blocks as well. some have adapted the DSM setup and are able to run the DSM coil pack setup or something.
I've heard people feed me BS about how .64 T2 setups on KA's kill turboes and overspool them and this and that, but I've never really seen it. Yes, they are little hairdryers and heat up mor than a T3 or bigger, but thats expected.
I have too many priorities and needs to take care of on the car but im looking at some sort of bottom mount setup, T2 .86a/r and work with the intake manifold and head some for a response project. not to exceed 350 really but pack a powerband thick and spin it to about 7300-7500. i looked at gt28rs and this and that but when the time comes, i will consult the local gurus on that. i have yet to ride in a T2 KA yet, but every vid and such i feel they are like an n/a car. and i'm past the point of caring about power, i want a fun car. something like 200-250whp but feels n/a (like mattbacks car). but im rambling lol. i have lots of fun setups i type up all the time, just never the means to do it.
