Upgraded turbo just arrived!

[94Gt5.0]

Eventually I'll do a stupid build if I keep this car and don't buy an RS, just too many "what ifs" right now for my liking with fueling, etc.

 

[lessard.dcj]

also i think ATP should offer a tune that they used from Cobb, or develop a tune to go with the kit.

and customer service.

Vvv

The Cobb tune needs refined but would have to be on any install anyway, should at least.

I'm so excited to see how well this all goes. the thread is moving super fast and I know I missed a bunch of stuff.
I would prefer not to get a laggy turbo. I'm an enthusiast gamer, I despise any kind of lag. So this looks like an amazing alternative.

Has anyone discovered the too much boost number for our engine yet?

I'm pretty sure it has cast pistons so I wouldn't push it real hard.

Could have sworn i heard the same thing, cast pistons with forged rods. Maybe both were cast.

Sinter forged steel connecting rods

Personally with a bigger turbo and those rods I wouldn't try to spike boost down low to put up a big torque number that drops off rapidly like every OTS tune currently does. This new turbo may not throw up a super high torque number but it should have a lot more torque throughout the powerband. Not just a spike to get big numbers.

i was wondering why my fuel mileage was so bad and it was running rich.

Yup lets hope the boys don't use that on their Turbo upgrade ... back to the topic I guess .. lol

The transmission(technically transaxle) does not weigh 168 lbs either

I easily picked it up and carried it around and am supposedly disabled
