Boosted Performance round 2 list

Sasha can send you the kit with DE flanges unwelded that you can have welded in locally as he doesn't have a jig for that setup.

It's not like you lose the crash bar you just replaced it with a $500 FMIC

Gotcha! Thanks for the info

Chuck33079 · 03-04-2014, 11:13 AM

Yeah, you didn't lose the crash bar, you just made it much more expensive.

You're welcome. And let me highly recommend pulling the trigger on this kit. The quality is fantastic and Sasha's customer service is second to none.

Honestly its a no brainer... The kit is priced right, and more user friendly to install. Kinda interested to see how the momentum headers will play with the kit.

Is there anything else I would need to get to support this kit? Besides a tune of course

I would recommend the following:

- Clutch/Flywheel/CSC upgrade (buy a new CMC too since they appear to be one use items)
- Radiator Upgrade
- Proper gauges to monitor conditions (Boost/Oil Temp/Oil Pressure/AFR)

- I also recommend a bunch of heat management (Header wrap, therm-tec, inferno heat shield, etc.). A melted wire is a minor inconvenience (well depending on what melted), a melted WG hose will likely lead to a new motor.

If you get serious about purchase PM me and I'll send you my build list for reference.

A LSD if you've got the non-sport model.

Good catch. Never occurs to me you can get one without it. You buy a 6MT G, you get everything.

I have the Touring Base. Things I am already planning on are clutch/flywheel, LSD, brake kit, suspension set up. I think my RE11's should kjeep up nicely.

Going to get the clutch done before the turbo install, since im not really sure if I can handle that on my own

I'm doing the same thing. Clutch goes in next week, then it's chew threw 500 miles as quickly as possible.

Lol. Nothing will keep up nicely!!

And an IC will do nothing from keeping the motor where it was placed and out of the cab area if you were to be in a high speed head on. Yes it protects the engine in a slow speed frontal but it protects the body at high speeds.

AlexRaymond19 · 03-05-2014, 10:08 AM

How long is the wait time if I order a kit?

After having looked at the OEM aliminum crash bar and my GTM intercooler, I'd have to give the edge to the intercooler as a structural support. The OEM bar is just boxed AL, right? If that's the case, the IC will hold up better since it's got an internal structure to add some strength, right?

You are going to have to wait for Sasha to answer this one as he doesn't have any fabricated at the moment.

I'd have to see an actual cut cross-section to answer that. At first thought I would think the OEM bar would fair better with a single mid-point load impact which the IC fairing better with full frontal. I just don't know how much the end tanks on the IC will support considering they are not inline with the frame supports.

A vertical cross-section of both and I could calculate it for you.
