    Bigger turbo, here is my shopping list....anything missing?

    Don't forget some super sticky tires to handle all that power :).

    anyone with Koni sport or FSD shocks?

    The FSD's are not designed to be used in lowered applications...so pretty much your only choice is either coilovers, or koni yellows.

    SU TMIC Installed.

    Just an FYI. Don't email or pm SU. Call them. They provide great service by PHONE...their email/pm service stinks.

    water getting in the instake?

    I'd see about getting a stock airbox. Put the car back to stock, see if the issues disappear. If not, then at least you have a better starting point to see whats wrong with the car. I hope you got an awesome deal on it...I don't think I'd ever buy a modded car that had 50k miles on it...

    tmic vs dp accessport question

    And it doesn't count if you're removing an aftermarket DP to put on another aftermarket DP. :)

    tmic vs dp accessport question

    The comparable gains between a DP and a TMIC aren't comparable. The MAX gains that a DP can give a speed3 are absolutely absurd. The DP shifts the power curve (you reach original stock peak torque over 1500 rpm sooner), has peak gains of around 20 whp, and 40 ft/lbs, and MAX gains of 35 whp...

    fmic vs. upgraded tmic vs. stock tmic

    Right now? The CP-E or Cobb kits. I haven't actually seen someone with the F2 kit, just people "talking" about it..and some guy test fitting it who doesn't know anything about intercoolers or the questions to ask. DCR is probably working on a kit too, it'll probably be top notch, but you can...

    fmic vs. upgraded tmic vs. stock tmic

    Upgraded TMIC Quick Spool Lower BAT's Lower pressure drop (more efficient turbo) Simple to Install/Replace (in less then 15 minutes) Only 4 clamps and 2 hoses. Still heatsoaks Larger unit can actually hold more heat then stock, so it can take longer to shed said heat (depending on conditions)...

    Cobb Axes There FMIC... So sad

    Just as with intakes, the simplicity of an intercooler, or merely "piping" design, is a common misconception. There is a lot of engineering involved with creating just the right balance in cooling, flow, and fitment for a particular platform, and a particular power goal. It IS extremely easy...

    Cobb DP - what's the final word?

    I believe cp-e stated that you lose about somewhere around 3-5 hp from the cat converter.

    Su Tmic Pics

    Just another FYI...supposedly DCR is working on a TMIC, and TRZ's TMIC is supposed to be available "any day*". *=As with most aftermarket companies, any day can be a week to a year.

    Boost Tube Dia?

    I've got the SU tubes. Did you make sure you had the "top" section pointing up? It doesn't fit if you have it turned 180 degrees.

    SU TMIC Installed.

    Doh that bites man. I'm sure they can resolve the tab issues with some additional welding on the tabs. Rear pipe would require a new attachment point. If you really like the unit, I'd say give it another try, as some ETS owners have complained about the rear hose fitment as well...it would...

    powerloss high RPM

    On that particular graph, the car was slipping on the dyno at some point, that's why the torque intersection is a bit off. Supposedly they're going to redyno and post a new graph later, but not till they're more along the lines of 425+ whp.

    powerloss high RPM

    Even with TP and breathing mods, you will still have a power dropoff in the upper rpm's. Heck, even the replacement turbo guys still see a dropoff. The car is just not designed for high rpm breath ability. You need upgrades to the throttle, turbo, exhaust, camshafts, BIG MAF...its a big list...

    If you want to have fun (if doing more runs then one)...bring a bag of ice and put it on the TMIC. Of course a bag of ICE, plus a big ass fan blowing through it...wooo.

    It's cool to the touch for a few minutes, after that it turns into an insane heatsink of death!

    Standard sized pistons or over? Stock CR or lower?

    At least one owner has bored out the cylinders to 2.4 liters of displacement. P3 offers a stroker kit for the motor, which ups displacement to 2.6.

    What do you think? Balance Shaft Delete Kit?

    Actually redoing the motor would help. If you're going built, a good engine shop can balance your rotating assembly far more precisely then the factory. They'd basically "blueprint" your engine to optimal specs...were as the factory has a "range" of spec's the engine can meet, and still be...
