I think the most difficult to get is the turbo cast manifold. Where are you going to get that?

Not much, got some parts here, but it`s a project I`ll work on over time.
Maybe next summer or something.
Buying an apartment now, so I dont think I have too much to spend on my Mx3 the next months
Household appliances are soooo expensive.

question for you turbo guys... can you mount a turbo vertically...? like with the intake side facing up, so theoretically (using the most common method of mounting the turbo by the distrib/airbox) if you put just a filter on it, it would stick up through the hood...? Follow me?
Just curious, might make routing exhaust easier...?
thanx, John
When this thing hits 88mph, you're gonna see some serious TIHS...!
Well, got some news, but not very good.
The turbo got stolen while our pickup truck was at a garage.
My fault, as I forgot I had the turbo in a box wrapped in a tarp.
Found the external wastegate, but no turbo...
So, I`m gonna do the Dastek Unichip now, to get the K8 properly tuned for the headers, bigger exhaust etc.
Also gonna map it for 98 (or maybe 99 octane as I`m hearing rumours about this being available here soon)
I`m also thinking of getting this kit, as I think it should fit with "minor" adjustments. (slimline fans, battery relocation, crossmember mods etc)

This would not be good at all for oil flow trhough the turbo, since the oil return uses gravity to aid its flow. Your better mounting it normall y then putting a intake pipe that bends up, put ur filter on that.J0HN_R1 wrote:Agreed...nope-mx3 wrote:...Household appliances are soooo expensive...

if u are using that turbo you dont need larger injectors than the kl ones especially if u are using an fmu and not an ems.
the fmu will work but with such large injectors your idle and mpg will be crap and your bumper will be black and stained from not running optimally. than again dont u have a beautiful black mx3? dont ruin that rear bumper.
