FIORE Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 I took a short ride up to mass. today to have TEKVOLVO swap in the 15g w/60 wheel, my 2.5in catless DP and white injectors. Car's running good so far no check engine lights. Tek is a really cool dude who knows what hes doing. I had a good time at the shop BS-ing and wacthing him work. Plus I got to dirty their new parts washer.The car is boosting 10+ at 2500 rpm's. I dont know if thats particularly safe considering the stock turbo would usually start boosting around 2500 rpm and get up to 5psi around 3000rpm. I'll just drive it without my leadfoot for now. I guess a chip tune might be in order but we'll see. Flame Away VS Hater Squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swedish Mike Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 Sounds like you hade a bad stock turbo. Anyway, congrats, cool to see new solutions./Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteT5 Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 Don't cheap out on a boost controller. A'pexi AVC-R to control boost by RPM works great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
