CPR Turbo Install

[Reaper14]

I have read that these kits perform very well. The wait time would have me a little worried. I have sent them a few emails and have not received a single response. I think when the time comes to go FI I will be going with Fluid, Hellion, or even a simple TVS kit due to the fact I know I can reach the companies easily.

What is the average wait time on the Fluid TT kit & Hellion?

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say less than a year.

No way I'd wait that long for CPR, or anyone else.

Making progress on the install...

Got the new radiator support in and got everything all ready for the k member to be dropped. Welding a bung onto a new oil pan today at work so when I do drop the k member I can just swap out the pan real quick for one with a fitting already in it.

Turbo shipping either today or tomorrow. Wastegate and BOV already shipped and should be here any day.

That looks amazing! Hats off to you sir. Where did you end up relocating everything?

Also, do you have a pic of the thermostat housing that's required to clear the turbo? I definitely don't have this part.

Thanks for the pic man! When I started working on the car this weekend I did end up seeing this part in one of the boxes. Glad I do actually have it.

Also, if you have an auto go ahead and cut the cooler lines off back by the starter before you start putting the passenger side header on.
I didn't know they had to be modified until I had fought with em for an hour and figured out I couldn't make it work. Then I called dustin and he told me they had to be cut and relocated.

Thanks for the heads up - my car is MT82 tho so no cooler lines for me.

Got the bung welded on the oil pan and got it all painted up again. Gate and BOV also arrived... Unfortunately I'll be out of town this weekend so pulling the k-member will have to wait till the following weekend.

[GNBRETT]

[gripguru]

that's what I plan to run with my kit.

 

[robrbn]

Got my eboost2 for $free.95 so its what I'll run till I decide to upgrade

 

[L8APEX]

So what are the benefits of the leash over eboost2?

The finished product...

Planning on loading the tune and firing her up tonight when I get home from work so I can start datalogging for Shaun at AED tomorrow.

Looks great!

I run a boost leash, but it really boils down to personal preference.
