WAS the CRUZMSL:icon_bigg , yes it is! I bought it from Rob Carlile and flew out to AL to drive it back to TX. And have already sunk way too much into it restoring to former glory and then some!

note he needs a CA one, with the ECU temp sensor. Not sure what you do about that if removed, it would throw a code for sure, which if that doesn't bother you then I guess it doesn't matter, cause you'll be failing emissions (assumig OK does this) w/o it (at least visually for sure)

lots of threads on this. pro: clear up engine bay, thats pretty much it con, higher emissions, higher combustion temps at cruise, some other stuff search away (My EGR is removed BTW)

Thanks guys, That is the HKS sport turbo (the old school one) and I run 1.1-1.2bar boost. That MKIV one actaully worked really well, but its toast now. I like the idea of the billet alum BPV that fits in stock location. I will PM IJ about his potential route, I found that Forge...

Hey everyone, Well the MKIV BOV I've had in the stock location for some time has run its course, and I'm getting bad compressor surge, so time to upgrade. Thing is, I don't wanna have to weld a mount on the hard pipes for the new BOV, as its ceramic coated, so I would have to get it...

I've posted this pic a couple of places, but here it is again.

as others said, hot side of turbo pre-turbine. That is where HKS put the EGT tap on their sport turbo for our cars, so that's good enough for me.

wow. just wow. Its hard to find other red mkiii's that have paint in that condition. Is that original paint?

I get around 1400 F at highway speeds, with the probe in same place as Jdub, in exhaust inlet before turbine

Wow I think that looks awesome!! Hope it doens't get stolen!:icon_razz Very nice job, did you do that yourself?

holy crap this thread has derailed.........

it will be better than nothing, you other option is to vent, which might cause your car to stall or backfire. nothing "bad" would happen.

very easy, comes with harness you plug into stock wiring down by passenger kick panel. Hardest part is taking center dash piece off (easy), taking lower panel under glove box off (easy) and the passenger kick panel off (easy) so in sum, its easy to install if having full firm tems is...

thanks for the Write up!!! but please clean your fingernails....:icon_razz could you tell us what ebay user you bought that from, in case there are different "versions" of the knock off. At least with this guy you have some sort of idea of what you will be getting.

I get around 12-15 and proud of it. Of course the car is only a weekend car, I boost the hell out of it when driving, as its always "for pleasure" and I don't care if gas gets to $10 a gallon I wouldn't care (now for my DD thats another story) Of course this doen't help you, except to...

I put mine further down to keep it away from the searing EGT's. The manual IIRC says a minimum of 36" from turbo, so thats what I did, its up in the tranny tunnel. search my posts, somewhere I have pics with my set up installed on the car. Some people feel you don't have to do this and...

Heh, I thought someone would point that out as I wrote it. Perhaps that was for somewhat dramatic effect, no it wasn't much of a wait upto about .9 bar, that was instant, but my 'ol HKS sport turbo is getting old and tired and doesn't like to hit the max 1.1 bar until higher rpms, so the boost...

thats what I was thinking!:aigo:

Is this the same people that sell the ones on ebay, cause those are the same pics are the guy selling them on ebay for our cars. Anyone buy a set off ebay and have some real pics of them? How much less would we be getting them over the guys usual ebay selling price? thanks
