I knew you'd take a keen interest in this thread....
At least you know what to expect... with all my headaches etc..
Hopefully car is fully boosting by the time i come down this weekend and i can convince you to come to the dark side...

hey guys wats up...just wanted to clear some things up.
the pipping is 3 inch cept a small section from the turbo to cooler then back to 3 inch...radiator has been moved but wasnt a big deat at all...acouple of hinges and 2 after market fans and its sweet.theres heat shields to stop heat but the setup in simliar to an evo - my car has no over heating problems.standard clutch is fine mine didnt slip only when u decide to boost it.
THERES A CATCH - your ac has to go but god dam its worth it theres a way but u have to make the down pipe smaller if u want to keep ac.
the kit is out of the car atm but if anyone is interested like seriously not bullshitin then i will put it bak and u can test drive the car !
any other questions or if u live in melbourne im from dandy you can jus come around n have a look : )

I also had my air con removed... I dont think u can got turbo otherwise...
But as kermut said... if you dont mind driving with the windows down, then its a small price to pay...
However im trying to get mine modified and put back in.
Just thinking, my radiator is in original position. took out air con and sat IC in front of radiator. They STILL had to cut my front bar... Im guessing yours wasnt too bad considering you've got aftermarket bar anyway though.
As far as piping, i was worried that the 2 inch bit was between the turbo and manifold/exhaust... lucky thats not so...
How bout some under car pics? im interested to see how thats gone...
You keen on selling with ECU?

Well.. 107.8Kw atw with 0.5psi... lol... the rest is going out a leak... Getting fixed and re-tuned tommorow... 5psi as well... be interesting to see if MIVEC makes much difference to power outtage..
Hoping to get some decent torque... i know standard is 200nm.... 500 is an awesome stretch mate.... congrats.

dams your figures are so low what did u 1st get when u had it turboed it shood be up the 150 - 160kw...if no1 gives me a decnet price i think ill keep the kit and car n boost it more : D...but if anyone interested in the kit without the turbo i can ask my mechanic how how much.

When i first dyno'd it ( a week ago) it already had the leak... so it was pretty much getting no boost... So 108kw is pretty good considering...
Hoping for around 160 tomorow.

500 on the dyno is not the same as the 200 at the fly...depending on the setup it could be tractive effort.
As we debated in another tread, torque at the wheels is really multiplied by the final drive ratio...500 is not very high. Then other dynos like to calculate it back to an atw figure..its just maths.
As for the power...pretty self expl.
Hence why i wnated the dyno sheet..then i can see whats going on.
