no kidding -- I doubt I can hook it up at all with 235 tires on her. At least third and fourth gear will be fun?
I'm working on getting a wider set up in the near future. Anyone wanna buy some Volks? :-)
Hey "solara" is that you Richard?
tcengels, you're right and I do plan to change the turbo at some point.

man, I'm jealous. All I'm getting is a ZPI Stage 1 Turbo, I was planning on getting a stage 2 long block, up the rev limit to 8k, and eventually, switch to a GT35R turbo and boost to about 450whp...
But now all I'm gonna have is a ZPI Stage 1 turbo, and it's gonna be a LONG while before I get a new long block and new turbo. Great job though, can't wait to catch up!!!
BTW, how much do you think it would cost for them to install and tune my ZPI Stage 1 Turbo? Cuz I live here in Nor Cal and don't really trust the places up here (some are good people though!) and would just like to know the price to compare! Thanks!

All that power from just adding Agency-Power blue hoses? Ha. jk - I think you should put your hp in the topic .... it needs to be there. i clicked on the link and didnt know what I was going to be reading
#35
BTW - Do you have a link to your ECU? I haven't heard of that brand before. Thats pretty wild that you want to increase the boost .... i wish you were somewere remotely near NJ cause ide drive a distance to drive in your car.

wastegate pipe is ok -- the puff of smoke you see in the 2nd pull is the crankcase breather kit releasing pressure out the top of the head. I'll try to take some pics today or tomorrow.
ECU: http://www.motec.com/products/ecu/control.htm
I have the M400 -- takes into account temperature, altitude, has cam control, programmable fuel and boost cuts (so I can't screw up with the boost controller), even controls the A/C compressor. also programmable rev limiter (I think we're at 7000) and disabled speed limiter.
I have three tuning maps set up on a 3-position switch -- pump gas, pump gas with a splash of race gas, and pure race gas.
