Anyone know anything about this turbo kit?

[antonio1988]

MMP doing the install?

If you need more ground clearance after it's installed I'll trade you my eibach pro kit before I put it back on.

I'll be sure to keep that in mind just in case

Did you order it antonio?

 

[JeremyH]

Mine should be here this week, of course i deleted a bunch of stuff from the kit when i ordered it.

 

[rford426]

What all did you end up gettin Lightblade?

 

[JeremyH]

Kit minus turbo, wastegate, bov, and oil filter relocation. I wanted to delete the coldside as im doing my own but they wouldnt do that, which is fine. Still a good price for piping and hardware.

I have a precision 67mm, tial 50mm bov, and tial 38mm wg i will be using, and doing my own coldside 3" from turbo to tb.

why dont you want to do there cold side piping. it is made just for the kit and you dont have to go through all that trouble. theirs works and works great. plus it has a bonus it is blow through. which is way better and more consistent.

That's exactly what I'm going to do later on, that same turbo, bov and w/g

[rford426]

Kind of... I already got a tial 38mm w/g and a greedy turbo timer and boost controller that are going in right away and a tial bov may be in my hands by next week. The turbo may also be upgraded by the end of the summer to the precision 67mm ball bearing

I dont like the design where the turbo outlet goes down to the intercooler and back up the same side, alot of exposed piping and just looks weird, so im going to go down from the turbo on the drivers side to the bigass horizontal front mount intercooler i have installed already and back up to the throttlebody on the passenger side. I will post pics and details of what i do on my build thread. I also will be keeping it a blow through setup.

There really isnt any reason why you would need to re-fab 3" i/c tubing unless your going to go over 625-650rwhp. Also the area you have to work with is already extremely tight and thats really half the reason we did 2.5". Its just too tight and 2.5" is fine for almost any street application. Im pretty sure Bobby is making over 700rwhp on 2.5 tubing from turbo all the way back to the inner fender area if Im not mistake(not sure if you changed any of that). Might be wrong on that

Lightblade, I believe your order came in Friday and I processed it today. I dont recall your name but if that was you, its going to leave the shop tomorrow for you. Do you have the Precision 67mm already? There are some specials on them and wanted to make sure if you needed it, that Mike let you know

Where you score that!?
I found one new for $200, best price i could find, that with 10lb spring, black anodized coating, gaskets, hardware and air fittings.

Gotcha, interested to see what you come up with and if you wanted to bounce any ideas off me, just let me know. I spend quite a few hours under the car when we were laying everything out and that was just our best idea of how to get it done for the target hp levels. If you are going with single inlet/outlet opposite ends, we have a 4" core, 3" inlet/outlet upgrade available for other kits if you needed one. Dont know if you have one already. If you need specs just let me know

Just my preference, as its going to mimic the way i orignaly designed my own kit. IM going for 550-600rwhp for now. Aready have a built shortblock. I deleted my sway bar, slim fan, moved coolant and ps steering res so i have the room.

Yeap that was me (Jeremy), if you dont mind can you shoot me a pm when it ships, thanks!

Yeah already have the precision 67mm, thanks for the offer though!

Heres a pic of the room i made, coldside 3" down from turbo and up from intercooler is going to go foward of the blue upr rad support.

And here is the 3" in/out 4.5" thick intercooler im going to run.
