another budget turbo build...bottom mount

[Danny707]

Are the MS units plug and play?

[tglaze]

yes sir.  

check out the picture on the first page.  i build it entirely inside the factory ecu box so there is nothing to mess with.  you just have to run a vacuum line to it and figure out how you want to mount it.

 i can supply you with a file that should run the car in n/a or boosted form but only enough to move the car and get you started with the tuning process.

 I am happy to stand by and provide as much technical support as possible as well.

Glaze, thanks much for the reply.  Will definitely take you up on that MS when time/money permits.  Wife already ok'd the project, just a matter of timing now.  Have the turbo but will need about $1000 to get everything else I'm guessing according to yours and Danny's build.

Keep updating (you too danny) as these threads are uber helpful.

how much for all that blue&black intercooler tubing?!

[kevins08]

also, would you be willing to make a downpipe for the '02?

sounds like a nice setup. what about when it broke the first time and you had the thicker gasket on it and what not.

The First time the engine overheated nd the head cracked in #2 cyl, second time the exhaust valves in #2 burnt and one melted and cracked the head. i dont know why this all kept happening but it did. the damage was always to the head the bottom end was always ok and my engine had about 315k on it before i rebuilt it.

If your thinking about more boost definatly go with forged pistons, steel gasket and head studs its holding up really well and runs 10 times better then with just the gasket and studs. the con rods are apparently good up to 30psi so i wouldnt worrie about those to much.

You should perfect this and make a Turbo Kit w/PnP MegaSquirts with a good map for stock internals for about 10-12psi. That would be freakin' awesome 'cause I would buy one.

I demand some in car footage!

[Danny707]

I posted my car in my thread Pierre.

[tglaze]

i dont want to film it in action until i get some rims on it.  such a weaksauce stance on it right now.  not a good representation of what i do.  looks like i may not get them for another month so i may just have to do it anyways..
i also pulled the turbo off to try a different one that wont be here till friday, so maybe after that
