Boosted Performance turbo kit self install (review)

A little update... I just got the car back today from Project X Customs. Car runs great. One problem with the tune is that it is running a little rich.

A little update...

I just got the car back today from Project X Customs. Car runs great. One problem with the tune is that it is running a little rich. It will have to be retuned.

Southbend's stage 3 clutch and 19lb flywheel sounds like a tractor trailer. I forgot to tell Project X customs to put the Motul oil that came with the Southbend clutch in so I will have to bring it back another day.

A small thing I noticed after getting my car back was that the turbo manifold actually blocks the port to fill the transmission with the motul oil.

Car feels like stock when it is out of boost. WHen it is in boost, it feels great. With the current CNT exhaust, it is actually not that loud and the BOV + Turbo spool sounds louder. Kind of makes me want to go with open dumps.

Now I have to break the clutch in with 500-1000 miles of city driving, then get it retuned and have the gauges mounted to where the center cubby hole is.

EDIT: Forgot to mention that oil now sits around 185-190 while cruising at 70mph in 75 degree weather. That is with a 30r oil cooler.
