Ok. Ok. Ok. Ok. Yes. Ok. Yes. Yes. Maybe. Ok.

 

i love taco too

 

yes it will work, please post again with results

 

?

 

lol

me too!

fixed for ya


there is a reason people will spend 1000$+ on just the manifold although there are less expensive ways to go about it, this is not the way. double the budget and start looking for good deals on QUALITY used parts. fmu is an absolute no no especially in this day and age. Its not 1998 anymore and those things are junk, there are so many tuning options out there now, and half of them are free! ....if a budget increase isnt possible then get a nitrous kit, it will be more reliable and wont blow the motor up if installed and used properly.

 

hmm... any phrase with "first time turbo" and "$1,000" makes me think you'd be more at home going to "homemadeturboDOTcom"

 

I just don't understand how they piece together a kit like this for $600.

 

Its all knock off chinese junk that doesnt work properly, if at all...just because it looks the same doesnt mean it is the same....Ill try and post some pics later of that exact same manifold next to quality p-fab manifold....

 

Yeah, I totally get that part, but still, $600? Even with a shitty manifold, it's fascinating how cheap they can make it!

 

Wow this isint a ****ing discusion thread there was a question, thatnks for thread jacking, if u dont know what thios setup could make and your a noob then make your own descusion thread.

 

Don't do it. Cheap kit = cheap results, cheap reliability. Look at some of the real turbo kits that are in excess of 4 to 5K. If that doesn't set off alarms for you, then do it.

 

LOL, are you calling Agtronic a noob? Awesome, a guy posting, asking if a knockoff turbo will be good for his friends $1000 turbo build says an experienced fabricator/shop owner is a noob.

To answer you question: Yes, it will make boost. Yes, people have used those kits before. As for "that turbo will be good for low end or top end rpm range ?" It'll be too big to spool down low and it'll blow oil past it's seals up high. In the end he'll get junk that won't last and make take his "very good b18a1" with it. Tell your friend to save up for quality used parts. He'll spend a little more, but he'll end up with much better parts that won't take a crap on him.

God I can't wait for search to work again.

 

Poor ppl should not mod cars.

 

I would take poor over stupid anyday of the week. My first turbo setup was well under a grand and consisted of no knockoff parts at all. Just some metal and time. I built a perfectly functional setup that has been in constant use for the last five years on daily driven cars.

Is that the story here? No. I don't think so.

Good luck OP

 

ya know what douchebag, put it on the car just make sure you post some carnage pics and a link to this thread so we can all make fun of your stupid *** for not listening to people that obviously have far more knowledge and experience than you. If you wanna know how much boost that turbo will make with your buddies setup, then learn how to read a compressor map and figure it out yourself noob. of course thats assuming that cheap *** chinese junk will perform to the specifications it says it will. which in all likely hood, it wont.

And as far as the search button not working, it wouldnt of mattered anyway. I can tell by this guys attitude.

Good Luck with the destruction of your buddies engine

 

large injectors w/ fmu ftw!!!

they still make those things?

 

ebay manifold going to crack. turbo going to blow seals. wastegate not gonna hold correct boost. have fun.

 

Block guard? People still use those?

 

you will be cheaper with an electric supercharger , they give crazy boost.
