overall i spent 600 for the kit... and i think its time for a boost controller. a good tune and some radials...

it feels fast but when all your friends have crazy 400hp hatches it doesnt seem quite fast enough

 

J/W how do you control boost it looks to me like there is no wastegate internal or external??

 

see that thing that looks like a wastegate actuator near the compressor? ya thats a wastegate actuator

 

hah eyah you might want to check it out before you ask a question like that. anyways looks good. the car looks good to when it doesent have snow all over it.

 

 

I did look but i just must of missed it my bad. Looks good though, much better then my first setup on my 91 hatch. Also how much boost are you running??

 

nice setup, so who ISNT boosted these days?

 

HMT approved.Car looks like a nice simple low buck setup.Crank the boost and make some vids

 

looks good. how does it run?

 

car is running great. pulls pretty good for what it is. im running a basemap from xenocron's bin directory. i think its time for a real clutch. when i bang 3rd the rpm's the clutch disagrees.

im currently running 8psi.
