Re: CDM turbo kit install. The Real Deal

I wouldnt put a oil line at 1mm of the manifold myself. Maybe it's safe, but it's really not the best...

Re: CDM turbo kit install. The Real Deal

8k miles on it so far... only problem is nasty oil leaks from main seals... especially under boost

Yeh id try to move it away also...

How does that gate and its variations hold boost? are they hit and miss?

Re: CDM turbo kit install. The Real Deal

this is the only one i have used personally. right out of the box it was getting 5psi. i shimmed it with a large washer and get 7psi now. its consistent. i can say that. it doesnt spike higher boost at first and then taper down to what you want. it just snaps right to it and stays till redline.

you said it doesn't come with any engine management but i thought i read a post that you sell the kits like this for $800 and $950 with a p28 an a basemap?
