Hey Jake, I shot you an email. I saw you were in the middle of moving shops so I figured it may take some time to reply but just giving you a heads up of my interest. Thanks for all your hard work!

Just put down my deposit! Extremely excited!!! :D

Build thread to follow!

I've also emailed back and forth with jakeb for a bit regarding a kit customized for a Garrett GT2554R, in case anyone was curious about using that particular turbo..

A T3/T4 50trim would be a good upgrade if you were looking for more power. A tune to match the increased airflow would most likely be required as well.

In anticipation of the model numbers, a link to help understand what it means

yup still in Michigan.

I can pull the part number. I actually have one on the shelf that isn't needed if anyone is looking for one.

[slowmoe30]

Nice! Do you have a part number for both Garrett options? 42/48 and t3 60mm?

Any updates on this? What Garrett Turbo PNs are offered in the upgrade option?

[slowmoe30]

I meant why would anyone not do the turbo. I see the ambiguity now.
What I've heard on turbo + ITBs makes sense; the ITB kit wasn't designed or tuned for anything but NA.

JakeB you still in Michigan?

[econti]

The ITBs will hold small boost but need work to cope with more psi.
I would not recommend it

[slowmoe30]

Makes sense.

After reading and reading all I can think of is "why would anyone NOT do this"
Now I'm looking at springtime for this if I can get over cutting the headlight bracket and valence..

I feel bad that I barely put any miles on the MarkD chip

Also in case anyone caught on something idiotic I said..
Upgraded (Head) bolts, not studs.

[wazzu70]

I ask too many questions:
For this build is it sensible to pair this with the RHD/lambertius ITB kit, or is the money for the ITB kit better spent on augmenting this turbo setup (stronger studs, more boost, new tune..)?
The ITB kit looks like it could package nicely now that the AFM assembly is moved out of the way, with minimal charge piping changes..

With the turbo kit offering a tune in the form of a chip (or so it seems from the images), and the ITB kit allegedly working with stock ECU, might I still be good with the turbo tune or am I stretching the capabilities of the stock ECU?

Might be one of those combos that just have to be put on and see what happens..

The RHD ITB kit is awesome, but I think in this case your money would be better spent on the turbo system. Either a better turbo or a standalone ECU would allow you to get a lot more improvement for the money.

Wow I just realized my interest in this goes all the way back to 2012 :o. Jake you will be receiving an email from me after the holidays to hopefully get the ball rolling on a kit. :up:

I'm right there with you man. Trying to get mine ready for next year too. Been looking at it for a few years
