Do a custom 3inch exhaust no cat, no resonators and the muffler of your choice. Probably will be the cheapest and best sounding route to go.

edit: he says that kit retails for 550...not true, and I dont buy from shady sellers.

The TB elbow is included.

You'll just need a boost controller. The O2 mod isn't necessary.

TB elbow is 90
o2 modifier is 100
mbc is 47

If he gets the rest of the stuff from FM new its all gona cost him 515 when said and done...not much difference to me

If you buy those items in the listing separately
$120 intake
$90 tb pipe
$120ish BOV

saved a little but not much

There was no TB pipe in that listing. The 2 bent pieces were part of the intake itself, it had me confused a bit as well. If it had a TB pipe in the kit, I would have considered bidding on it.

Ordered the kit this morning, waiting for FM to call me and let me know the shipping charges. :cool:

Ill give you a MBC for 20, dont need the o2, and I thought it had the TB elbow in the auction?

The o2 sensor helps a lot from what I hear. The TB elbow was not in the auction it was just an intake and BOV.

I already ordered the kit, due to be here on the 10th. Boost gauge should come around the same time, and install will happen as soon as I find a day for it.

This is the gauge

Thank you sir, from the look of your avatar you got a nice one as well.

CleanNeon98 07-14-2008 11:26 PM

OK so me and Roto got together to put all of this stuff in, only got about 1/2 way there

Currently installed:
Intake
TB Elbow
BOV
Boost gauge

Left to do:
o2 modifier
MBC
"tune"

The problem is that with the new setup, the stock boost controller doesnt work, so I technically dont have one at all as of now. Stock boost is 7psi, I hit more than 15 on my way home from his place.

Just a bit left to go to have it all complete, car is a beast now, granted it will be more tame with the proper 9psi boost set, but should still be a great gain from stock. Sound under acceleration is incredible, intake really opens up the turbo, sounds like a jet taking off every time I spool up.

BTW, I thought I should mention, and Roto asked me to as well. When he was wiring the backlight for my boost gauge into the dimmer swich, he asked if I wanted it dimmed, I said if its not a big problem, sure. What he ended up doing was wiring it so the gauge and the rest of the cluster dimmed against each other (turn the wheel and the cluster gets brighter but gauge gets more dim, vise versa) lol

Will update tomorrow, things looking good so far.

...eh? I have all of the parts but it was just too dark to do that **** already. Car isnt moving anywhere until tomorrow where it will go to his house out of boost entirely and we will put everything else in.:roll:

Roto 07-14-2008 11:32 PM

Only if he keeps boosting with the wastegate closed...
