Boost control is fixed. The lines were hooked up incorrectly because I was following AEM instructions that were incorrect. Found a different set of instructions also by AEM and they were correct :facepalm:
From what I can tell its just the bumper and the metal underneath the bumper. I don't think I'll get a mugen rear end or anything because insurance is taking care of it since its a hit and run.
That sucks man sorry to see that people do stuff like this they'll get theirs one day !
Where did you get those brackets? local hardware store? Get the bolts at same place?Quote:

Come with the kit but are too narrow cut for the bolts so u have to make them a little wider. And just bend them to shape. Works great.Quote:

I hate that the last greddy IC pipe is 60mm, the pipe that connects to the throttle body that is. No one sells 60mm couplers.... 60mm is 2.3622'' so IDK if I should get 2.5 inch coupler or 2.25 inch coupler and IDK what size t bolt clamp to get if I did get the 2.5 inch coupler because it would be a little big...
Get 2.5" coupler, thats what mine is on the charge pipe side. IIRC the oem tb OD is 70mm, so my tb side of the coupler is 2.75". And your t-bolt would be 2.5" because thats the coupler size, they tighten down. If you'd like, you can check the t-bolt desc (or call and ask company) to find out what the t-bolt range is. They should have a range of fully loose diameter and fully tight diameter.Quote:

Its dumb the greddy coupler from last pipe to throttle body is 60mm-65mm, no one makes that size! I think I"m just gonna try a straight 2.5'' coupler there and hope a 2.5'' t bolt works for the 60mm pipe.
So I'm really leaning towards getting boost junkyz manifold/dp/dt and tial wastegate to upgrade my setup. I would keep the greddy IC piping and upgrade to the cxracing intercooler. My question for you guys is what do you think about turbo size? I've been thinking I would want a standard t3 GT3076, but I am thinking maybe a GT3582 would be nice also... Thoughts? I'd like to be able to make near 500 if not right at 500whp on race fuel with the stock motor and I'm not sure if a GT30 will get me there.
I did what you're looking to do. Sold my TSI mani, dp, and gt2871r and got a tubular mani (one-off top mount mani from SRT) and dp with a GT30R and kept my GReddy charge piping. A GT35R, as I was told many many times, is really only beneficial on a built motor setup. On the street, the GT30R allows for a much more useful powerband, vs the GT35R. If you want to hit 500whp on pump 93, iI would recommend a precision 5857. That is ths turbo I would've liked to have gotten, but at the time it was more expensive than a 30R and I couldnt swing it. Str8JDM hit over 500whp on 93 pump with that turbo. But on race gas, you'll hit 500whp for sure with a GT30R. ;)Quote:

The gt30r should make for a much better street car. Like speed said a more useable power and. But vdubkilla uses 35r with a huge ar. He made well over 500 on race gas. He also used it to tear up mustangs from lights in OC. So his car did well on the street too. I guess it's about what you want as the end result. Is this a street car? Or a strip car that's driven on the street sometimes.
Nice to see someone else who will upgrade from almost the same setup to pretty much the exact same setup. :thumb:
This is a street car that I sometimes drag. But fun street driving is number one priority for me at this point.
A 30r is probably a more accurate turbo for your needs then. My friends putting a 67mm on his rsx. Lol.Quote:

I like external gates, so I haven't gotten too deep into efr turbos. But I will look into them for you and respond.Quote:

I really like the price point. A full-race efr kit is less than $3800 with everything needed for the kit (not including fueling and tuning, which I already have) which is a steal! I think I like external gate more too (can't say for sure, because never had it) but there are things about internal that I do like, plus with their dual port wastegate actuator I can use the 4 port solenoid I bought and should be able to run low boost in 1st and 2nd and high boost in other gears. The 7670 is supposed to spool somewhere between the GT30 and GT35 but flows more lbs/min than the GT35 by I think 2 and the 7064 I think flows the same or slightly more than the GT30 but will spool faster. They are rated at 650hp and 550hp respectively.
Well after talking to fresh si, gonna scratch the idea of going EFR.
How come? All the fab work involved depending on the turbo u go with?
No there would be no fab work because I'd get the full race kit. If anything that's the only plus is that I'd have a kit that definitely fits without modification. Basically it's that the turbos are not that great mostly over hyped and a GTX3076 would be a MUCH better turbo for me and the external gate would also be loads better even though I would have gotten full race's dual port actuator.
Want to possibly post the exact info youe got, kinda curious

I had the 7670, I actually was the first K to have one...even before Brett and ikon, they only put it on before me cuz fr was being stupid and didnt wanna send me the right pipe and my wg block off plate. But anyways the turbo had oil seepage between the chra and Hotside but no smoke was comming out. Idk what it was. It took a lot of bitching for those *****s to finally inspect it and they sent it to BW and BW supposably said that it had an internal leak but nothing that I should worry about. Idk how the fck they expect me to be ok with that but I threw a fit and finally they gave me a refund but charged $100 for the pos inspection that took em like 5 mins. The EFR is all hype dude. They spool freakin slow af and the wg thing is a pita. Idk if Vit will say it on the forums but i was at go power & him and Jeff were talking bout the EFR and how shitty they are. my gtx spools a million times faster. I looked at some logs to compare before and by the time the EFR got to 6psi the gtx was already at like 10 or 11psi. Geoff just hypes the EFR cuz he has an investment with them
Just keep it here since full race doesn't really come here. Might get the ban hammer on the other site lol.
Alright so after some discussion on the 8th and help from Vit I know what wheel and slick setup to buy this spring. Posting the info here incase anyone else is interested.
Rota slipstreams 15x8 40mm offset. 24.5x8.5x15 M&H slicks.

Coming soon..... :woohoo:
Planning on getting rid of your iwg 30R now that you have that? I'm on 8th as well you can pm me there if anything. I may be interested when you decide to swap to the new kit.Quote:

That's perfect. Don't plan on changing anything until then anyways. If you give me a fair price on the turbo. I'll deff take it off your hands. Me and Vit already pushed my greddy turbo to the limits lol.Quote:

I have a custom 3" downpipe already :giggle:. Just need the turbo. But yeah I can deff do a trade plus cash. I have the greddy intake/turbo/downpipe that I could trade. Plus I think you could make more money selling that downpipe with the rest of the kit since thats a highly sought out part for that specific set up.
Ya I will definitely be in contact with you once the kit is off.
Sounds good. The turbo has the compact housing and a v-band entry? .86 A/R?Quote:

Sweet deal exactly what I'm looking for.
