        Dyno results?

        Has anybody dyno'd a car with this kit yet?

        I'm very interested in doing this as an alternative to an m52b28, but as I'm located in the UK and nobody here has used this kit, I'm trying to gather as much information as possible before committing to anything.

        Also has anybody got any pics or info on a downpipe for RHD as I would need to get one of these made seperately?

        Thanks, Dave :)

            I'm totally sold on this kit, and will most likely be placing an order in the next couple months. Just gotta sell my Mustang first. It's an '88 OSP SSP in Boise if anyone's interested ;)

            Strictly out of curiosity, how long was the install time for you guys?

              You can do it over a long weekend. I had my exhaust almost ready to connect to the downpipe, which helped. The most time consuming part, it seemed, was the usual e30 nonsense (rusted bolts, etc). Modifying the front valence requires some trial and error, but it's not too bad.

                Thanks. It's my DD, just wanna make sure I plan accordingly.

                      Just out of curiosity could alpha-n tune be made for this setup to remove the AFM altogether and tune with a AFR gauge to make sure your not leaning out?

                        Alpha-n and boost dont go together. You could always buy Jakes kit and then later on go with a megasquirt ecu. No changes would need to be made other than tuning.

                          How did you get the exhaust made so it would match up with the downpipe's location before everything was installed?

                          I've never messed with a turbo setup, so forgive me if it's a stupid question. I've just been assuming I'd need to drive to the exhaust shop with no exhaust after installing the turbo.

                            Disregard that last post. Jake answered through e-mail. The system is quiet enough to drive with just the downpipe (O2 sensor mounts in it) if you don't get on it hard.

                              It's not too bad I drove mine around for a week before bringing to the shop

                                Bump. Emailed Jake. Seriously considering one of these kits.
