I don't know about this Greddy kit in terms of it being cost effective for the performance you get out of it.

Anybody have some hard numbers for the AT?

What is the MAX HP you guys with the Greddy turbo are getting?

Anybody break 5 seconds in 0-60 with this kit? If not, what was your lowest times in 0-60 or 1/4 mile?

Ok here are only a very few pics. Sorry for the delay.
Let me know if there are better angles to take of the engine bay. Another thing is I tried to upload the 6 megapixel picture but it automatically downsized the pic.
If there is a better place to host or attach the pic please update me thanx. I threw in a pic of the exhaust I am using just for info. Cheers.

Still love my bodykit lots but still no luck with the spoiler that i was looking for. The company really went bankrupt but i will try 1 last time to find it. Going to japan at the end of the year to hunt the guy down.

Btw i will try this link to see if it works.

The pictures are so darn big, it feels like you fell into the car. Maybe they should be re-sized.

Re-Amemiya should offer the Mazsport turbo kit too. Those are some serious performance gains and that would be "hot".

looking good!

you mind me asking why not stick in a Euro 5sp tranny? they are strong that the auto's and would beable to take a bit more????

also as for the oil cooler you get twins on euro cars so you might be able to save some cash ordering one of them????

Would love one of these but not sure how well the box of chips would react with the Euro 5sps!...anyone know?

It will take abit of work to swap the tranny and if you were going for a manual conversion then i would probably think that a 13b-rew swap would be more appropriate.

My 3rd gear is slipping at the moment but I have to check to see if it will improve when I do a full atf flush which is about 10 litres plus.

Anyways i am still holding out till R.E. finishes the new improved torque converter. I really hope that the performance will be close to the, DSG although they are 2 different designs altogether.

As for cooling i checked with my mech and he said that my DIY project is going to fail cause some have tried it before. He recommended to change to a vented bonnet and maybe change the stock oil cooler to a much bigger and better one. Running on twin oil coolers may really bring down the pressure and thats not advisable unless its down to spendin more money on a stronger oil pump.

Normal driving you should be getting bout 95 degrees for oil and 95 for water.
Current temps are based on setup of 1 atf cooler and 1 oil cooler.

Front bumper is the only issue that is affecting the cooling at the moment.

Btw has anyone tried changing to twin oil cooler on the autos???

So far someone here has stuck in a 6 spd euro, will probably have to take a while before i can give you any updates on the kit but so far everything is ok.

At 0.6 bar he is gettin bout 260whp

Think they will observe the car for a while before giving the all clear to boost higher.
