    This kit has been ok, I still have to add on the oil scavenging pump and have decided to opt out of ac this coming season but other than that I think its holding up well and gets plenty of attention.

    CX racing turbo kit for 3v

    Update: midway through season two with this kit and its holding up just fine. I have had the hot pipes off to get ceramic coated and that's about the only real change Ive made to the kit. still fighting a bit of smoking (burning oil) not sure if the turbo seals have gone bad or if its just poor...

    my thoughts too on the vents. what turbo set up are you running though. Ill have to see if i can find numbers to these cx racing fans.

    CX racing turbo kit for 3v

    personally with my set up I have been fighting over heating still. only when idling in traffic for a long time or running the ac on a hot day. Issue could be a combination of things. lack of hood vents, ac condenser blocking air flow, sticky thermostat, under-drive pulley limiting water flow...

    CX racing turbo kit for 3v

    Thank you. Its a work in progress. I used the oil feed and drain setup that came with the kit. The car is in winter storage right now. I am working on testing different oil specs and also looking to high temp ceramic coat the hot pipes.

    Close to buying my turbo kit

    Yes mine is an 05, no real issues routing out back and fitting to the OE axel back wasnt too complicated either just bought two 3in exhaust legs and had them welded to an s shape and fit right to the axel back with a Ypipe reducer. As for the PCM they didnt really provide a nice was to secure...

    CX racing turbo kit for 3v

    Just thought of some more tough spots that could use photos. ac compressor connector, intercooler charge pipe under passenger headlight, and wastegate bumps by the crank. It's been about a month now since I've been driving it. The tune is finally settled and Im enjoying it. I do believe I and...

    CX racing turbo kit for 3v

    @Aerofinz. I wish I could have taken more time on the project gotten more and better photos. if i had more time I would have just honestly done a step by step write up. I bet cx would have loved it lol. alas I just decided to make this a live doc and keep updating as I remember things.

    CX racing turbo kit for 3v

    A few clearance issues I would look out for are the a/c connector. the wires for the starter both close to the starter and ac compressor. The main engine harness on the passenger side near the header. The fuel line near the drivers side header. AC lines near the Turbo and down pipe above the...

    CX racing turbo kit for 3v

    As I remember things I will try to add them. I have been suggested to do a video walk around and chat about it so i may do that later as well. If I do ILL try to share the links. The complete lack of instructions for this kit was the biggest issue. It would save a lot of grief if there was a...

    CX racing turbo kit for 3v

    Yes I did clock the turbo after that one picture. There was a ton of clearance issues as you can see. Took bending, rerouting, zip tie and so on to get it to this point. per my tuner I did remake the maf housing tube so it was straight rather than S bend that came with the kit. I also moved...
