Just curious, how did you fabricate the Gauge Pod so it is a direct replacement. I have a few customers wanting to know.

Any pictures of the Boost Gauge?

As stated in the Pensacola meet thread (you all in the area better check that out!) my name is Daniel and I am the sales manager up at Valhalla Racing as well as practically running the place...haha.

Its been really great having Justin's car at the shop and it being our real first project. Don't let the workmanship fool you, it turned out GREAT for what we were working with and it will only get better. He needs to stray from eBay a bit to get squared away but that will come in due time.

When we get all of our equipment you can bet we will be making a kit for the tC and offer it up to you guys. Hopefully soon I will get a ride in it and take video from the passenger seat. Don't let him fool you, I was the tard walking around with the camera all day :D

Turbo kits cost much more than 1g for a reason. The fab work and labor involved in this is tremendous. Its not just a big turbo and BOV. We should be able to do better than the typical greddy kits though.

We are fixing to start making turbo kits for the Toyota xrunner and will still be pricey because of the labor involved in it.

I recommend against these eBay turbos because MOST of them are un-balanced and have proven to blow the seals and cartridges under much load.

Your manifold you would almost be better off looking up the ATP one, great manifold. On the downpipe, its fairly simple and would definitely be less than 1g

See a .42 at 5psi won't flow as much air as a .60 trim but then you have lag issues. Its not much of the "biggest turbo" issue as functionality. The stock turbo on my talon can take 12-14 psi efficiently but on my 50trim I could push the same power at maybe 7-9psi

Nothing wrong with TurboXS
