More upgrades will be added to help raise boost in the near future.

Yeah 187 at 8 psi and 197 at 10 psi equal torque curves too. It would be better but, it's non- intercooled for now. :twisted: Thanks for the cleanup

Man non-intercooled, I dont understand why. Even a small stock 1g/2g SMIC is better then non-intercooled. Props on the kit, but should have spent another $100 or $200 and gotten an SMIC or even FMIC.

Looks like your running a cheap diverter valve too, just run a stock 1g eclipse BOV man. You could snag both a 1g/2g SMIC and 1g BOV at a junkyard for under $100.

Hey now! :oops: I know it's not 100%, that's the financial woes of a budget kit. Since I have had it a little bit now (and money) I have a Precision FMIC and some intercooler piping on the way.

Cool man. Not making fun of your setup, just pointing out the weak points that you already know Im sure.

Good luck with the rest of the build https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif

that manifold is so daym ugly...ahh guess ima have to get it powdercoated or something

Tommy Di Cat

04-13-2006, 10:56 PM

Yeah it was pretty stainless till it got heated up. I could polish it, but it would start a ever ending cycle. Powdercoating like Tron's setup would be best. BTW you get yours yet Icedout

It was ordered around Oct. 20th and received it around Dec.20th last year. Although I picked it up at Russ's to cut down costs and time. Last month I dropped it off with Donnie (while I took the family to Disney) to get in over a 3 day period. I can say I feel for the guy as he has work up to his eyeballs and not too much reliable help around. I know this doesn' t make you feel any better, but have patience https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif

ooh so damn, if you want your car turboed for the summer you had to order basically in March, get it in May/June, drop the car off somewhere for a weekend and hope for the best
