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.

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...

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.

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...

Ok ill have to check it out. With my minimal boost im full spool by just before 4k.

You get what you pay for though. Its a budget priced kit. Just under 3k for the whole kit. -ancillary. Its a 76mm turbo, unmarked,unbranded. the turbo came in box inside a box that had the label GTxxxx unlabeled. so im wondering if its garret. could be vs too idk. Why wouldnt overlap be a cause...

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...

update and photos.

@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.

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...

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...

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...

I will try to come back here and update with more info and findings as time goes on but for now here is what i have for the cx racing turbo kit install. The base kit isnt terrible but it does have quiet a few clearance concerns from what we found. Also you obviously have to source your own fuel...

front view (yes i did reclock the turbo.)

all in. first datalog set. now waiting on revisions. fitment was ok. there was some issues that needed corrected and others that still need work. but all in i am satisfied.

and so it begins

@LarryJM I installed a boss rear sway bar and upgraded the bushings to poly. I didnt have any hang ups really on my 2005 gt. pretty sraight forward.

@LarryJM are you saying you want to install a boss rear sway bar on your 14 gt?

@Rugermack you need injectors and a fuel pump or bap and what ever gauges you want. youll need a tune and tuner. i think thats it. I went with 47lb injectors and a 340lph fuel pump. we will see how it all goes later.
