I bought the car in 2015 and quickly put the simple bolt on on the car. I left it like that for 2 years and decided it was time to go for boost. My ideal set up was a top mount single turbo, which led me to vortex motorsports. After several months of back and forth i finally go the kit on my car. Car is making around 500whp and 430tq, I do not have dyno sheet but that is a long story. I'm not too good at telling stories but drop your questions below and I will be sure to answer.
Mod list:
tein street flex coilovers
Precision 6266 turbo
turbo smart wastegate
turbo smart BOV
T3 turbo blanket
Cx racing big core intercooler
id 1100cc injectors
walbro 255 fuel pump
gtr spark plugs
pro sport evo series gauges
twm short shifter
top speed axle back exhaust

 

If you don't mind answering, what was the total cost for the turbo kit?

Great job on the car so far. Paint that IC core black, and it's a great sleeper.

 

12k depending on your preferences

 

Nice build post, looks like a real clean setup too! Well done sir.

 

thanks needs some work and definitely a re tune but for the most part its good to go

 

total sleeper

 

Depending on tire selection it can be touchy with wheelspin at factory power. How does it do with that much power to the wheels? Is it "touchy" trying to put the power down or what have you done to address that?

 

I have 255 front and 285 rear with tein street flex coilovers and hotckins front and rear sway bars

 

Just curious, why top speed? Why not Ark, FI or one of the 2.5" catbacks?

Also surprised no hfc since you already went turbo. But maybe you just want to keep sound/smell to a minimum.

Edit: I just realized your dyno was before turbo. thought your torque curve looked basically like stock lmao.

 

I like the deeper sound of the top speed and it is only an axle back. there are no cats on the car period, will eventually cut muffler off stock mid pipe. Will post sound clip soon sounds different then most G's more like an rb honestly. Dyno sheet will come wen i have new tune because Vortex still hasnt given it to me and im done trying to communicate with them but thats a whole other story.

 

Experience any lag with a setup like this? Had a local shop quote me 7-8k for a single snail set-up to run similar numbers. 7-9PSI?

Any troubles hooking up?

 

Depending on the turbo you choose, but im my set up it spools very fast. Yes very easy to break tires loose at wot
