Just curious if anyone is running FI long tubes with this turbo set up,and if so,what are the benefits of doing so? To me,it would make sense that you would make better power off less boost because of better exhaust flow. Am I right to assume this? I'm also assuming that there is no modification to make the header work with boosted' turbo set up as the header is a strait up bolt on.
I'm looking in to going fi. I was going to go full bolt on,but I did that on my last platform and although I enjoyed the extra power overall,the amount I paid to go that route,I could of bought a one off turbo setup almost. Want the bigger bang for my buck! |

Ahh,so for the header question,there would have to be some custom cabbing then. As for the money spent,I'm fully aware that it is not cheap to go the fi route. Would you say the money you spent was because you had to spend that amount,or because once you popped,you couldn't stop?
Judging from what I've been reading up on,what your at cost wise sounds about right. If I can get away with spending around 12 k,then I'm "all aboard" with going boosted. With all the good talk about the quality,good customer service and being pretty much hassle free,if a guy is going fi,it's a no brainer on this set up. Of course I'll be doing more homework,but I like what I see so far! |

There's no question. You can't run long tube headers with this kit. It's a non-starter.

- Kit - $8k - Clutch/FW/HD CSC - $1500-2000 - Radiator - $600 - Gauges - $500 - Misc Heat Management/Tools/Etc - $1000 - Tune - $600-700 So there's roughly $12.5k with zero allowance for any labor. Also keep in mind that you need to keep a cushion ($5-7k) for the, 'my motor let go fund'. That just handles the go. You still haven't touch the handling and stopping portions of the car. Most of us that have gone down this rabbit hole are looking in the rearview mirror at $20k invested. |
