Yes, so far it is awesome. I am only changing the Wastegate because I was going to upgrade it anyways.

For a cheap starter turbo kit, so far I have no complaints, but the plan from the beginning was to upgrade WG, BOV, and Turbo as funds allowed.

So far I am having good luck.

Yeah, thats a big worry for most people but I don't have any cat's anyways

I have not ever seen one of the BB kits personally, won't talk about pipe or parts quality but maf location/design sucks. You have to do very weird stuff to tune this things out, so I would add a newer properly designed intake pipe to the list. On3's got it better.

Wow. That sucks. I was planning on putting mine back on when I got my turbo kit. But f that!

 

[one eyed willy]

just take the cats out......problem solved.........who the f' runs cats anyway......if you really want to run a cat, then you can put it on after the turbo in the midpipe somewhere......

I was going to put some loud mufflers (3x20" round magnaflows) to add sound quality but retain my cats. So it wasn't too loud and still b somewhat legal.

how wud u make/change the intake pipe? Make it bigger/smaller? What wud be the ideal size?

The way he explained it to me is that the location of the MAF and the size of the intake pipe is the problem.

You need to replace the 4 inch pipe with 3 inch and there needs to be at least 4-6 inches of straight pipe before the MAF and 2 to 3 inches after the MAF.

So basically all you would need to do is get some 3 inch pieces of pipe and bend/weld them to this configuration.

Oh. I thought bigger is better for more hp. So 3" is about perfect for any 3V high hp combo?
