and you didn't even have to relocate the air filter...although it looks like it's been squished and pushed a little...hehehe...congratulations..have you had a chance to drive it yet??

Thoughts and impressions?

Boost levels you are running?

C/R?

The Car Runs very strong in any rpm can't notice any sign of turbo lag! I can start in a 2nd gear or 3rd without any problem!

3 Days ago I was driving normally (on the low boost, and pushing genteelly on the gas pedal) with my new setup on a semi-highway (for it's 70km/h speed-limit). But I got pulled over and the cop told me that I was driving 136 in a zone of 70. (The cops gave me my ticket and said sorry)

I have never driven any of AA turbo cars, but I can feel that CARTECH put lots of effort and energy on the system. (For it's power and the fitting and finishing) According to Cartech, I should have 360 HP with 7 psi, and I'm running 8.5 psi with a perfect air fuel ration.

I had this setup for a month already, no problem what so ever, very happy with it!

Tomorrow I am going to dyno the car. I'll post the sheet after I get it!

Is that a OBD I? How much did it run you for the setup?
Thanks

uh, why is your air filter on the intake side of the engine? all the turbo chargers that i have seen use EXHAUST gas to create boost (a very dumbed down explanation of a turbo) so shouldn't the air filter be by the headers? it's not one of those "electric turbo fans" that they sell on ebay is it?

and why is your stress bar on backwards?
