I'm making the switch to Turbo now and need some advice...
What are you guys doing for the intake (since the kit doesn't come with pipe and filter?
What about the pipe for the wastegate, do you connect it to the dp or leave it "open?"

How does the Vortech BOV sound? I heard it is very quiet and you can't really hear it.

and how do you like the overall performance of the kit?
Thanks in advance!

Waste gate is open
Blowoff valve is alright, nothing special - you can definitly hear it
I have mesh over the turbo but I'm going to get the filter ASAP
performance of the kit is awesome!

If I were you, I would make sure to get everything done RIGHT THE FIRST TIME AROUND. Be patient with the install and don't take the car until everything done perfectly. It is better to wait another day and spend a couple extra bucks than to blow everything up and have to spend 8,000 fixing everything ( I'm still a little dissapointed in myself).

Warning:

Be ready to watch your MPG go down the hole
Be ready to make your own filter (if you want one)
Get a boost controller
Get the oil, air fuel and boost gauge
If you aren't going to wait for the car to cool down, get a Turbo timer as well
Be ready to baby your car because going turbo is a little more involved than what you got now.

Have fun with your project!

thanks for the quick reply, yeah I used to have a JRSC but I wasn't happy with it so I sold it. and I plan on doing it right this time, that is why I also purchased the AEM EMS, 550cc injectors, AEM fuel Rail, Blitz SBC-id boost controller, Blitz dtt, autometer gauges and Thermal 3" exhaust. I plan on dyno tuning it once its all installed.

 

Let me know how it goes. I was thinking about getting the AEM EMS, but I found out that I'm broke

Good luck!
