I' ve been a member a while but, never really post so i hope this is a good one

It's definitely fun to drive after 5 years and 82,000 miles. More upgrades will be added to help raise boost in the near future.

Thanks to Donnie, Russ, and Jimmie for all their patience and professionalism. Especially all the stupid question answering.

**Dominicano** · 03-20-2006, 05:02 PM

I fixed it up for you but damn I can not see what numbers you pulling it looks like close to 200

**Tommy Di Cat** · 03-20-2006, 07:35 PM

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

**IceDouTGaLanT** · 03-20-2006, 07:42 PM

ya i was gona sayi thought the kit puts out [email protected] but it explains since its non intercooled...still looks good man i kno your enjoyin it..hopefully i got mine by the end of the month..but guess well wait n see

Nice clean setup 8) Still trying to convince my g/f on the wonders of turbo'ing her 8g. :twisted:

That looks awesome Tom! I'm glad everything worked out well for ya bud

**Tommy Di Cat** · 04-13-2006, 09:04 PM

Thanks Russ, and BTW nice MR2.

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.

**seth98esT** · 04-13-2006, 09:36 PM

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

**Kalamidad** · 04-13-2006, 09:58 PM

sweet man. those are nice numbers.

**Serstylz2** · 04-13-2006, 10:30 PM

hmm.. doesnt look like you have to install THAT much stuff for Turbo...

**IceDouTGaLanT** · 04-13-2006, 10:51 PM

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

**IceDouTGaLanT** · 04-13-2006, 11:02 PM
