Sounds good man. Maybe they'll start to have a HMT option... that'd kick ***.

That's ------' sweet. No one's gonna expect a Kia. Hope the tuning part goes well with it. LoL, and you're getting paid to do it! Hope your boss is impressed :P

btw... did some kid with some turbo Kia get into some beef with you a while back Jeff? I read something on H-T about some kid that was talkin' sh*t about you or something. I looked it up after I overheard some guy in one of my classes bragging to other kids in the class about how he turbo'd a Kia.

ha ha, I was wondering how long it would take you to turbo a KIA. sounds like fun, especially when you are working on something that you like and get paid for it at the same time. 98ctr

Why? The maf will be hooked up on the inlet side of the compressor housing, it should run just fine like that. Similar to a dsm.

Megasquirt? ya right.. this car has to pass emissions, have a cat convertor 2 o2 sensors, run the stock ecu, and yes be OBD2.

Yes I did, do you remember the thread off hand? I owned that guy and just about got fired for it, lol..

I remember reading a while back when you said that Kia or something was going to contract you to turbo a car...

Was quite a while ago, is this it?

Sounds like fun though
