Cool!! I'm glad you like it! Here is a pic as shipped with a MP T70 turbo, 3" 2 piece mandrel bent down pipe, mandrel bent crossover, 40mm JGS WG, 50mm RPS BOV for $2500.



I think the NEED for an intercooler on lower boost (10 psi or less) has been blown out of proportion and this kit has potential to make some good power for a low cost and is rather simple.

If you are going to turn it up just make sure your fuel system can handle it and run e85.

Congrats man!

Great looking kit!!!

To add to the intercooler discussion---

I ran 5 PSI of boost with my old turbo kit non intercooled, my first time with boost, it was fun !! BUT _______________

Then i added a FMIC and holy *** that same 5 psi felt SOOO Much stronger.

So i say enjoy it as is, but i DEFINITLEY would add a Front mount Intercooler down the road, when it gets hot where you live you will be glad you did.


BTW your install looks great and so does the engine bay.

It is a very well laid out kit, this is exactly what I have with the exception that I have a t-76 since I already had it.

Tim the reason you felt such a different in power is because the stock IAT table is VERY sensitive to just a few degrees rise in IAT's. A competent tuner can decrease the timing pulling and gain a lot of that lost power back. I've done this with my blower I have now and it made HUGE difference. As with anything the power in a NON-intercooled turbo setup is mostly in the tune and how you manage it

You guys want to see some SCARY high IAT's that's still making descent power, I'll send you some of my logs with this INTERCOOLED blower!! (200*+ )
