    ??Anyone purchased this FPR Kit??

    I considered that also (engine movement). This is how I routed mine with the loop in the braided hose. I used Earl's hose from Summit Racing. It was like $14 for a 3' long piece of -6AN. I also modified the ignitor bracket and flipped the ignitor on it's side to give my regulator a cleaner, less...

    topline engine kit?

    I used the "re-ring" kit from rpmperformance and it worked out fine for me - 7000+ miles on rebuild and still running strong. I didn't use the headgasket since I went HKS metal.

    Removing compressor housing to measure wheel...

    FPR Setup???

    I checked my TSRM and it says that normal pressure for a stock turbo is 23-30 psi at idle so I guess I'm alright. I just thought it should be higher. Next weekend when I switch in my 550's I wonder if the pressure should be the same or higher?

    AEM UEGO or ZT2? MAFT Pro or APEXI Neo?

    Looking to upgrade my electronics in prep for finishing up my engine mods. Just wondering what you guys think of the above since I can't seem to ever make up my mind with all the different things available these days. I was looking into getting a wideband control and a air flow control. Let me...

    Check Engine Light

    When your turbo is boosting, does it flash on, the car stutters like you lost power and then it goes off ??? If so, then = fuel cut

    Absolutely not !!! They will look for the cat as part of the visual inspection. You can fail immediately without a cat, they won't even hook you up to the machine. Sorry.

    Low or High Impedance 550 Injectors?

    Whoa, fast reply, thanks but do I have the right ones. I think the SL8-550's are the high impedance ones. RC's web site specify them differently.
