^ lol, I knew that was coming . If you can't find a good tuner close by and need to drive the car a good distance, you can download fuel/ignition maps for the E-Manage or F/IC (whichever you get). The car still needs to be tuned, but atleast with a basic map, it will be sort of safe to drive. Still not safe to boost on, but safer to drive than on a blank map.

It's not about the install really, it can be the tune or one little part. An injector could crap out and mess it up. Or something could clog the oil pump and seize the engine, etc. Tons of variables.

hey carbon did you keep everything black as it comes or did u get any polishing done? i was thinking about doin the chargepipes

java09

^^all todds charge pipes come black unless the simple series is different.. i have a stage 1 so unsure...

Bmcclure

All the piping is black, with black couplers. For the manifold, I got the polished, which is the only 'coloring' option he has for the kit (I think). I talked to him yesterday about the manifold, and I thought the polished was going to have the mirror/chrome look that the standard does, but he said if he gave it that look, it would look terrible. Since it would just be polish, weld, polish, weld...

Here is a shot of the log manifold polished. It looks more like silver, rather than the mirrored appearence on the EL manifolds.



Then the turbine side of the turbo and the downpipe will match.

The only thing I'm not happy about is the wastegate, I think Todd uses a silver TiAL, I would have prefered purple. .

that looks nice! i chose to get polished to..under the first topic about this turbo it mentions these options..

Options:

Pre-tapped oil pan: $125.00

For the show guys :

Polished manifold: $60.00
Polished chargepipes: $120.00
Polished Comp. housing: $60.00
anodized black intercooler: $100.00


thats what i meant by the chargpipes,ect.

Don't get the black IC, it reduces the efficiency of it. I have no clue what he means by polished chargepipes, he might have meant downpipe, since that's not mentioned.

Bmcclure

Yea i wasnt planning on getting the black gotta show off that FMIC!!

cessblood

That is so true.

Wow, last I checked, this was a tC section and you have a lame xB, so get out of here, I wasn`t dissing him, I was just stating. You are such a retard for coming at me like that when I never had a motive to nag at him.
