Re:My turbo setup
It will, but it's not exactly the safest way to boost that high. Those things aren't reliable and you can't tune them. I hope you have the 12:1 disk?

Re:My turbo setup
OMG do not run 12-14 with the FMU!!! If your planning on going that high I would suggest Hondata. Is your motor built?

Re:My turbo setup
LOL the pics I have are the exact same one you have of the turbo mounted up...small world. I tried researching that turbo because I was gonna buy from the same guy and couldn't find much...I ended up at some colt forums but most of them had upgraded to 14b's etc. and couldn't tell me much...I can tell you this though you're gonna have boost almost off idle. One question for ya....do you have the air injection on your intake manifold? It has a nipple ON the flange between the #2 and #3 IM runners. I bought an EX IM off ebay and tried putting it on w/o knowing about the air injecton...leaked like a bitch! so I JB welded the holes up now all I need is the IM gasket...which I cannot find...I dunno if the air injection started on the 99 or 2000 models....I even work at a Honda dealership and they couldn't tell me...I looked through the service manuals and all.
but it will

Re:My turbo setup
i think im going to go with the 12:1 FMU & missing link and just keep the boost down until the motor is ready. thanks Dr.Boost for the help. if anyone knows anything about this turbo, i could sure use the info. im going to check some Colt forums like 2000psi and see if i can find anything. i'll post more pics when everything is installed!
