    Review: Ion Performance springs/Tokico struts

    FunkyBuddha - Looking good. Great to see you've finally installed the suspension. If there's enough interest, we will produce a run of our springs; however it would have to be similar to a "GB" situation where we'd only produce the springs if people are committed.

    iON Performance Springs

    FlyinMSP - With the Sport Specs on the MSP, you will have little to no lowering; however the rates are higher then the factory MSP, so there will be some handling improvements. If you want to have all the benefits from our springs, you need to move to the Race Specs. MrDiggler...

    iON Performance Springs

    FlyinMSP - If you have a MSP; then the springs you have are wrong. If you have a Protege 5 or ES, then the Sport Spec springs will drop your car 1.18" F&R jmv - Our springs are linear/progressive (F/R) respectively. The "drop" on that chart is wrong. The fronts are -1.625" and the rears is...

    Best Cold Air

    wicked - Our CAI can also be upgraded to fit a GT28RS turbo as well. One silicone hose needs to be changed :) Rawyzf - Here's info straight from the horse's mouth. Our parts were independantly tested by Turbo & High-Tech Performance Magazine @ SP Engineering's facilities: "baseline" was with...

    INGREXCO - Great to see another company stepping up to the bat :) It has always been said "immitation is the highest form of flattery" The only real thing we're interested in is whether or not a proper collector was used to merge the flow path of the WG and the turbine side; as well as the size...

    Dyno Cell - Project MSP

    yanyan - You have to remember the gains are with with a 3" hi-flow cat; if it were totally catless you'll see even more power ;) Giallou P5 - Not bad for just "bolt-ons" :) it's too bad their car there hit fuel cut at 0.8bar. It's also too bad they didn't have some 93-94 octane fuel there!

    Dyno Cell - Project MSP

    Mike R<SCRIPT type=text/javascript> vbmenu_register("postmenu_1241292", true); </SCRIPT> - FYI; Turbo Magazine came to us requesting our parts. We did not pay for anything; as these are technical review articles and not an ad.

    GI: MSP 3" Turbo Back Exhaust

    jonbig<SCRIPT type=text/javascript> vbmenu_register("postmenu_1206848", true); </SCRIPT> - are you referring to a "cat-delete" section? (ie: bolts up to the 3 bolt flange and to the 2-bolt flange after the cats?) If that's the case, ours shipped to you with the member discount is significantly...

    info on ION

    tekkie - and we don't refute that fact; hence the reason why we've been working in conjunction with Brullen for so many years. The MSP systems that they've currently built are 2.5" and not 3" though.

    Stormtrooper77 - yes you're right, and hence the reason why some of our parts we have them manufacture under contract. tekkie<SCRIPT type=text/javascript> vbmenu_register("postmenu_1206625", true); </SCRIPT> - They make some of our Subaru stuff under contract; and our cat-deletes for the...

    info on ION

    122 Vega - there are various sizes of bubble wrap; we don't manufacture this - so basically the shipping supply company dictates as to when the correctly sized bubble wrap arrives. It's rather silly to not use the proper packaging when you're trying to protect a piece of art. It would be nice...

    info on ION

    wicked<SCRIPT type=text/javascript> vbmenu_register("postmenu_1203444", true); </SCRIPT> - that's quite interesting, we didn't know that we're a bunch of college students that are just reselling parts that we design. In anycase, the mailing address is at the UofC since we have a co-op program...

    Help!! I'm Overheating!!

    2K3 MSP - Alex, do you happen to have a picture of where the bracket had wore a hole in the hose? Generally speaking if there is a hole; you won't be seeing boost. We're definately interested in seeing pictures of this to see if we can provide you with a solution; as you're the first person to...

    What 3" exhausts are available?

    Enthused - slip joints do not provide the total seal nor does it provide rigity/support to an exhaust system. It's the "easy-way out" when it comes to making exhausts. We use 3/8-1/2" thick stainless flanges which are not as easy to warp as other flanges. When coupled with either the correct...

    ION Downpipe

    tekkie - Here are your Q's answered: (1) The wait time would depend if you choose to have the optional ceramic coating on the 1-piece integrateded down-pipe or not. Ceramic coating generally adds 2-3 weeks time. Also, the wait time would also depend on when you actually pay as well as when...

    ION Downpipe

    ********** - FYI, there's more to the design then what can be seen on the outside. The flow capacity is much larger then 3" right off the turbo; there's a smooth transition into a merge collector with the same area ratio as the extraction section from the turbine and WG. All of our stuff has...

    good news for people looking for wheels for protege

    Autox MSP - Only the MY05 STi has the 5x114.3 pattern w/ +53mm offset. These would work. But you'll be paying out of the nose for a set of those STi/BBS wheels. BBS also makes the RGR and a couple of other wheels in that bolt pattern and +50mm offset (depending on width). These are JDM or...
