So......
The turbo on that kit was bad. I have no time to play the "used" parts game. Last week Rosario Racing from Ma. came with a flatbed to pick up the car. They are getting me all new parts and building the car. The full plan is not worked out yet but so far we know stage one will likely be: ARP studs, TT gasket, timing belt, water pump, seals, Comp Turbo CT4X, Tial WG/BOV, Action stage 6, 6 puck sprung, Competition lightweight flywheel, Supra TT brakes, SS lines, SAFC NEO, AEM Wideband/Boost, Mishimoto intercooler. Don't know what else yet. The second stage will be tranny/standalone/LSD.

I CAN'T WAIT TO GET THIS CAR BACK!


(pic) A few parts came in, sadly the cams are not mine.

Thumbs up How much HP does my stock 300 5 speed make?

Rosario Racing took the car to the dyno today to get some baseline numbers before boosting it.
I can't wait for the dyno visit POST boost!! The increase should be significant...

We have been waiting for boost parts arriving by carrier pigeon but they are all finally here and work has REALLY begun! Jason Rosario and crew should be done within a week if we don't change any more plans. We decided against any used or budget parts. We went with all new, high quality parts. I can't wait to drive this thing!

No need explain what's going on here..

I picked up the same combo but haven't installed them yet. Curious to hear your thoughts on the SAFC and ECU re-learn issues, if applicable, if you get to it before me.

That'll be quite the car when you're "done" with it!

Should be much better with the turbo...

wondering...

are you doing to put on a FFIM? having the intake go over the space heater might do more harm than good...

if you connect the acis valve correctly after going turbo, the stock intake will negate the effects of the extra heat, especially if you run a turbo blanket, which IMO is a must with the stock intake, or you will keep melting the coupler on the throttle body, went through like 3 of those things. after the turbo blanket, you can actually touch the turbo blanket and not get burnt so the coupler lasted a long time after that, in fact still have it.

I have the stock intake. I'll get a blanket as well!

Stock clutch was TOAST! Soooo.. That's what that smell was!
In its place will be an Action stage 6 clutch (6puck sprung) and a Competition lightweight Flywheel.
