LEt me know what you think but dont be brutal... i dont know really where to start with performance... my specialty is audio not engine stuff...
Opinions would be great or let me know what you would do if u were me... keep in mind i've got a $6000 budget (Spent like $8000 so far)... so im leaving a bit over $400 for buffer... before digging into a paycheck

Progress Report...
Kit has been sent off... should arrive tue or wed... whichever way will be taken to Gold Coast 4WD and Performance same day for kit to be put on.
Will stay there for 3-4 days or so... whilst kit is being installed, clutch will be freighted up to brisbane to Italia Spares for modification... will be gone for 3 days.
Once this stage is complete car will be towed to springwood to see ProTorque for installation of E-Manage and dyno tuning... Guy said one full day for this...

So Estimated completion date is 19/20th Dec... just in time for xmas...

What say we move this into "Project corner" Tis a project after all...

Mind you, if you get it all done before xmas, it will be the quickest project I'll have ever seen lol

Moved. Okay... quickest FTO Turbo Project Underway

will be excellent tot see what happens...looking forward to getting regular updates..then I will do mine and beat your records haha

so far im looking a week tops.... minimum 4 days.... mind you quality comes before speed...if it wasnt christmas i could have it done in 2 days. but... its christmas so im gonna do the best i can...

theres no such thing as a too big intercooler

big intercooler on small setup = increased lag...

What are the dimensions of the intercooler you're getting and how much boost you plan on running? BTW you got a tip or manual?

dont know dimensions... plannin on runnin only 5 or so to start with.. manual transmision

for this app u can run a very small IC...like a side mount version form an R33 would be heaps..they are deisgend for 7psi..ir a small FMIC...keep it sized correctly.

righto... kit arrived today. waiting for my tuner to get back to me with a price on an e-manage... getting dropped off at mechanics tomorow morning ay 7:30...may have done by end of week

sam is yours gpx or gr? i forgot -.-

GPX... yeh turbo + Mivec.... gonna love it... might have it back by the end of the week...

lol if u do...that would be amazing..

its on the cards... bout 50% chance.... 2-3 days for fitting and 1 day for tuning....if all goes well with fitting, could be on the dyno friday..

Sounds good man...looking forward to see how it performs...thats the same turbo i'm putting on right now. What size Intercooler piping you running?

Dont forget to take pics when you're done. Oh and ask the tuner how much he retarded the timing on full boost.

dunno about piping... will ask him for sure...
update... car goes in on thursday morning now to different bloke... he said will have it done for weekend for me... so this may be a 3 day turbo installation

bro make sure its done right 3 days to do a turbo install sounds abit quick? and tuning too with the mivec

Keep us updated

yeh i have booked to have 2 mechanics work on it exclusively for 2 days...
