I wouldn't put a turbo on a 72k mile car.

Check your compression first.

Dont know what the big deal is about me having 72k. Yes many people by that mileage have had 2 or 3 engines, they must not have taken care of their cars and redline everyshift 24/7. Im on my first engine and have had no power loss nor does it feel like I have a clogged CAT. Of course the first thing Im going to do is get a compression test to see if I get a GREEN LIGHT for the install. If my compression is bad then the Warranty will replace my engine and Ill work from there. Either way, the TURBO install is going to happen.

MTs Turbo'd have DYNOd at 260-300+ on an FI RENNY... ill be happy having 220hp+torque gains which to me having in an 4AT is Pretty Bitchin'... Ill definitely stand out in my category of 4port ATs as like PHILS8 SC 4AT monster.

Don't listen to those guys - AT with stock greddy tuned well and running 8psi (ish) boost will own any modded NA manual car out there .....


Also : contrary to popular belief the 4 port engine is great for FI .

^ thanks... i was going to do the BNR upgrade right off the start, but it was suggested to wait and see if this set up will be enough to satisfy my taste

and BTW 05rex I had seen somewhere (when doing research) that you mentioned doing the BNR to yours once your GREDDY gives, im starting to think the same. No point in upgrading a new turbo & I think the kit will satisfy my tastes. Its 50/50

05rex - nice, for me anything over stock 4AT power is going to be beasty for me.

Easy: I will have the kit by the end of FEB for sure

MARCH- Protek premium gauges, Greddy oil pan, RB Filter/Water adapter, RB gauge Pod, midpipe, clamps, etc., ( about another $1000 or so in parts )

DYNO DAY- compression test + base HP/TQ printout before getting boosted... if everything is good, the install shall begin!
