I have always been an advocate for DIY if you have the means to do so for that reason. You never know when you will have minor hiccups, and its best to know your way around your car so you can resolve any issues yourself, rather than have to take it somewhere and pay money.

How was the electrical during the install? Im pretty well rounded mechanically, but im retarded when it comes to electrical.

Something like this I'd DIY in a heartbeat. It looks like a fun project. I farmed out my TT kit because I had no desire to drop the motor and tap the head and oil pan. Good job on this one making it DIY friendly. That's a substantial cost savings there.

This is spot on, and the driving force behind all the kits that I have available. A lot of time is spent making things as simple as possible for the installer.


The electrical is very easy, but those that did the install can chime in.

The scavenge pump harness is plug'n play. Positive terminal to BAT +, negative terminal to BAT -, for the pump there is a water tight connector/plug, and then you just plug in your relay on/off source in your fuse box. All the fuses are already in the harness when the customer receives it.

The fuel injectors are also plug'n play

The fuel pump..there is two wires that need to be soldered, but it is very easy. The instructions go in to good details with this.

Too many manufacturers in aftermarket car parts seen to forget that it's guys in their garage drinking beer installing their parts, not trained mechanics. It's good to see parts designed around the "average car guy".

Agreed.

Electrical is a non issue. Very simple. Honestly the hardest part of this kit is,

1. Removing the factory cats (demon bolts)
2. Getting the turbo to fit into the coupling going to the inter cooler piping.

Yup as everyone said, the electrical pieces are very easy even without any wiring experience. For the most part, I really enjoyed myself while doing this install. I agree that the hardest part was getting the turbo connected to the intercooler piping. Next hardest piece was probably separating the oil pan for me.

Great build man! Hopefully soon I will be in your shoes also with my own BP kit

Do you have the recirculated or open westgates? Whats your opinion about it?

Could you advise please which boost controller should I choose?

Cell

I would go with the EVC6. If you decide to not get a boost gauge, that controller can act as a boost gauge. 2 in 1, can't go wrong.

As to recirc or not, if you want to hear your turbo and BOV then recirc. The turbo and BOV will not be as loud with the open dumps screaming.

You are right outside Chicago too. If I have time, I may go to the Cars and Coffee meet during the spring. If I do go, you are more than welcome to come and check out my BP kit. I am sure many others are interested in seeing the BP kit too.

puckshaw

Thanks! Great choice on going with this kit! I have the recirc waste gates and absolutely love the way it sounds. Open dumps can get pretty loud but only open up when you're making full boost. If it's a daily driver, I'd go recirc. Hell mine isn't a daily driver and I still went recirc. Sasha can sell you the dump tubes also if you want to switch back and forth. Not too expensive.

I'm not running a boost controller yet but plan on getting one eventually. I'm leaning towards the g-force II. looking forward to your build!

This isn't apples to apples but when I had a turbo'd spec v sentra, I had open and recirculated wastegates throughout my journey. Started first with recirculated. The turbo sound was pretty crisp at full boost. You could hear the turbo and exhaust pretty well. Each were defined fairly well. I eventually swapped to an open dump due to a design flaw that caused my manifold to wastegate gasket to blow. No flex coupler and the pipes would heat and expand at different times bla bla bla. The open dump was loud. It was fun to hit boost next to someone with an open window lol. The only thing is it sounded kind of dirty. I'm not sure how to explain that but that's the best description lol.

Personally I would (and am) going with recirculated. Sounds good.

If you don't have a boost controller, I would suggest going with a larger springs (than 7.25psi you have) in the wastegates now.

I would put the red and green spring in, yielding about 10psi

(chart, right hand side: http://www.tialmedia.com/documents/MVSspc.png).

The boost will taper off to about 8psi by redline due to the VVEL, and the tuner can esily adjust timing to make the torque nice and gradual as the boost comes on. The tune will still be very safe, and you should get over the 500whp mark with ease.

Open dumps are awesome. For about a week. Unless it's a track toy, recirculate.

If you don't plan on having different boost settings, a good manual boost controller can handle a lot of what you're looking for. You don't get a lot of cool stuff, but they almost never fail and they're very cheap for quality units.

Very true. I am alos looking at having a manual boost controller go out with the kit. It is simple, and does the job. Probably only a $120 option.

I'm using a TurboXS manual unit, and I'm perfectly happy. Cost me $99 and works like a charm.
