I have just got my turbo together running Uberdata. It ran 5.5psi and it pulled ok. I am very please even though it smoked like a crop duster because my turbo is junk. Moral of the story is that I have tasted the boost and it ROCKS! I am getting my turbo exchanged from the guy I bought it from. He has tons of them and said he would stand by it and he is! I cant wait to get my new one.

GO BOOST!

"all motor" is just another way of saying "limp dick"
N/A engines SUCK! ;D

With "all motor" you spend a shitload more to get a lot less power and a lot more fragile engine.

B16Drag- I will keep everything you said in mind. Thanks.

Doofnoil- What??> D series. Nope B18.

baldur- Well they told me I should be around 215hp with the all-motor set up.

baldur- I agree they do suck.

in my experance if you want to make some real power al motor you have to know what your doijng more than a turbo. true someone could just go "im all motor" but i doubt they know much about what there doing and they dont understand turbo systems and dont know how to tune them. really people blowing up there turboed engine do some stupid ---- to blow them up.

ONYX, I'll agree with you 100% but I'll push it a bit further...

All Honda owners (essentially) at one time was "All-Motor" and BOY am I glad I am NO LONGER!

Ok. now that I'm back to my old self (all motor what??). I have decided that turbo is the best route to achieving my goal (getting in the 12's). Is there anybody with a daily driven car hitting 12's here? I need advice in what parts to get for my set-up. I will probably be installing my kit in 2-3 weeks.
