Oh boy, Put on youyr fame restitant suit!!!!

Turbo on those kits suck *****, too small to make any decent power!!

And FMU? NO WAY!!!!! Chip your ECU and do it the right way the first time.

make your own kit way more power

Take the upper charge pipe from the kit and hit yourself in the nuts.

The kit = needs better fuel management. Easy fix

The question= should never of been posted. Many months of counciling needed.

That's an AWESOME buy for $400. You get to keep a/c, ps, and it's quality/clean parts. However, like mentioned above, fuel management is lacking. I'd MUCH rather run emanage than an fmu. Just get it tuned right and it will be reliable.

Second of all, the turbo is kind of small to make some really nice gains. It's still a decent turbo if you're a beginner and just getting in to the whole boosting scene. I would expect 170-180 whp at 8psi or so. Do you know what spring the wastegate has? Is it intercooled?

that's what I'm thinking, may be a shitty kit but for 400 bucks you can't really go wrong unless the turbo is shot
