Mx-3 turbo kit
If this has been posted before, then just ignore it, but i've never seen it before. Seems rather straightforward. And for the price, seems like it might be worth looking into.

i would get a front mount intercooler.........
not only looks bad.....but it helps get higher boost levels & upgrade to a higher vol fuel pump
& if your not confortable taping you oil pan
get someone to install it

yah i think i heard something about a kit being produced for the SOHC a few months back. im not to into the log style manafold though. and with only running 4PSI you really dont need an IC but it would help. but a kit for only 2K thats not too bad seeing the power you could get out of it with a few other mods.

Yeah this one's been discussed for a while. Only reason he didnt design it with a FMIC for stage one is that the OEM bumper needs some minor cutting to get the IC to fit right. And he didnt want to deal with having some people complain about having to cut their bumper's. I think he said for stage 2 or 3 that he'll have a front mount for it. But for 2 grand you are getting a pretty good looking turbo kit with quality materials. Im still not sure if anybody's actually bought one or not though. I was thinking about it before I found a new project car to stick a BPT in to.

Looks like a decent kit, I would be willing to pay an extra $500 for a FMIC, all the necessary mounting brackets, and pre-bent IC piping.

It says 15% gain over stock...for the I4. Wouldn't 15% only be around 15hp? That would still put this turbo'd engine at less than the regular output of the V6?

No way in Hell would I pay 2 grand for 15 hp. Thats just stupid.

on a KLO3, that 15 % only works out to about 25 hp. i think there are cheaper ways to get 25 hp.
