Just got my car out of A-Spec in Addison, IL and all I can say is OMG! Thanks to Steve and Sean the car has been turned into a beast! The GT35/40 installation is totally clean and everything done was thoughtful in execution. Even though I have been keeping the boost down the new power is amply apparent: no need to downshift in normal road conditions, 50-90mph in 4th gear and mid-throttle takes almost no time, and I was heading home at 5th gear and 4000rpms almost all the way home making mid-throttle forays into 120mph+. As I said before: OMG!

 

how much did that setup cost you? I want to pick up just the turbo for my FC, if it'll fit on a T04 manifold.... supposedly the mechanic of the person I'm buying the car from told him that the turbo has a bit of play and would need to be replaced soon

So I figure why the heck not go for the gusto right now huh?

 

$3599 for the turbo kit

 

good LORD... I was looking at GT series turbos for 1600 or so, I think it was 1700 for the GT35R:

Dual ball bearing and all, just not the kit and install

 

post pics and dyno charts!

 

35R is $1395 if your interested in just the turbo for your FC.

Pedro's car is unbelieveable! very clean!

Pedro actually just got an engine too so he's in the process of breaking it in.

 

Cool, might do that if I can't find another T04E for under $300-400 or so

 

GT35R will not bolt to a T04 manifold.

 

correct!

 

T3 hotside isn't it?? That is if I'm remembering correctly.

Congrats on your new turbo setup bro. I'm glad that you like it so much. Be safe!

BoostedRex:

Thanks for your kind reply. I will need to be safe as I can now do doughnuts at every single turn and at will.

I stopped by the Azores on the way to Spain once! What are you doing there?

 

Aircraft electro-evnvironmental systems technician. But here I don't do much at all except surf the 'net. This is a pretty slow duty station. How long ago were you here?

About 10yrs ago

 

Hey Pedro, post some engine pictures.

 

Steve: Please help with the pics as I'm a computer retard

 

dyno sheet

 

Here is a pic for you Pedro. This is a dirty pic before we cleaned and buffed the manifolds... ill see if i have a pic with everything all cleaned up and shiny

 

Sean have you guys come out with a manifold for the 35R for an FC, or a manifold for the 40R for the FC? I know you guys do great work over there. BoostedRex doesn't do much over there, except complain about being there

Congrats on the setup dude...I'm doing the same setup in about a month...Damn, I can't wait!

 

Thanks Apneablue: you won't be sorry. I'm still breaking in my engine, it should be done by this weekend if the weather allows. He, He!

 

If you are not in a rush and want to drop off the car, I will make a kit for it, I currently do not have one because I do not have a FC to work off of, I would love to get a kit made of rou guys but just don't have a car or the time at the moment.

Sorry,Sean

 

The good thing about the new setup is it works with the M2 style SMIC's without needing any modifying of the IC plumbing, no cutting, no welding. Can't beat that.

-Sean

 

Sean I'm just wondering for future. My stock turbo is heading out the door, but I can't afford a new single right now so I'm just going to do a rebuild. Have you tried finding someone in the midwest forum to see if they could drop the car off? I understand if you don't have time. But I do know that at least one other person is very interested in either a 35r or 40r kit for the FC. And I am sure that there are many more out there. Good luck, and keep making your great products.

- Steiner

 

Steiner = brown noser!! j/k

Sean, the FC kit would be widely excepted I'm quite sure!! Does the person that drops off their FC get a discount on the kit made??

Pedro, how's the car running bro? Is the break in period over yet? If so, how does she feel at WOT? Also, at what RPM are you seeing full boost?
