Default HP Turbo Kit

Here it is installed. I did the install and the only thing that was a pain in the *** was moving the coolant hoses. Gettingcoolant in your mouth is the worst taste ever. This turbo spools very very fast too.

its tuned for 10lbs at 10.5 AFR. It was just tuned driving and not on a dyno. This is just so I can break the engine in the safe way. I will be taking it to 18lbs this weekend

I've heard that the HP MAF tube leads to some pretty horrible MAF readings....this happening to you at all?
Congrats on the install.

Awsome! I just have two questions...the same two I ask of all the turbo kits. When do you start to make positive pressure and when are you fully spooled?

How long did it take them to deliver your kit? It took them 7 weeks and I still didn't have a kit on my door step so I cancelled and got the procharger...
