    Testing a new turbo coming to the market.

    I might do before and after header results. But that wont be for a while. I need struts first :|. I may buy a used set off of nasioc that is a good quality product.

    Testing a new turbo coming to the market.

    900-1000 I'm guessing. That's still cheaper than most of the aftermarket companies using a stock location turbo (and this one wont crack). I maybe able to swing a better deal for a group buy. Even if its $900, you can still sell your stock good VF39 for $500-600 so you only have 3-4 hundred in...

    Header ?s

    I posted a few pics in the turbo thread I made. Its slightly larger than a 20g. To compare, its about the same as an FP green maybe flows a little more. The turbo maker said I can go larger with the header to help it breathe up top but I will lose low end tq and hp. (as you stated as well). I...

    Header ?s

    I priced out tons of header options. I just dont see spending upwards of $600+ on headers.

    Header ?s

    Its a TD06 housing with a ported/machined compressor cover, 59lb/min, and 8cm housing. It can make around 500whp depending on setup. What about just upgrading the up-pipe?

    Header ?s

    Im thinking about installing a tubular header along with the turbo swap. I did some research but didnt find what I was looking for. The few questions I have are: What are the results? More power? Did spool change? What brand did you purchase? Is it worth it over stock? I was looking at this...

    Shift knob

    Anyone interested in pool ball shift knobs? I'm thinking about making them. You can order pretty much any pool ball you want and I have a tap set that fits the STi thread shifter. I put a Chicago Bears knob on last year and love it. Im going to try and upload a few pics of it later on...

    OVER HEATING like a mother

    I highly recommend using one of these when filling any cooling system. http://www.autobodytoolmart.com/uview-airlift-ii-economy-cooling-system-refiller-550500-p-31205.aspx?gclid=CNqw3O348b0CFchFMgod5QgA1w All you do is vacuum it down, fill it, top it off and drive. The one secret that everyone...

    Testing a new turbo coming to the market.

    I talked to him about attempting to fix mine and replace the wheel with something larger for a little extra. (I did this to my EVO turbo with a 18g wheel) He was against it due to the IHI housing and how sensitive the VF39 is. He has done a couple ones in the past with weird failures that led to...
