As far as the stock PCM thing goes I wouldnt worry about it too much right now Ryan, I've been talking to a few people and there is already some 2-bar MAP sensor/Stock PCM setups in testing.....if things go well I want to do even better on the tuner kit turbo car. Will not be as elaborate as a FAST setup but should get the job done.

Cool, as soon as i get outta class ill be calling you.

Would you be selling the brackets too?

Im gonna research that stuff tonight, thanks PSJ. As far as the brackets, ill be selling them if Speed cant use them w/ the turbo setup.

I am definitely going with the turbo. My YSI kit is for sale(the blower, brackets, hoses, clamps, iat sensor, oil feed lines) Pretty much Everything except the intercooler. Need $4000 for it. If anyone is interested just contact Tom@SpeedInc.com for details. They should have my car there in a few weeks so the ysi will be avaliable then. Thanks

Why did you bail on a 700rwhp blower car. You say it only has 100 miles. I'm confused, as soon as you get it running your moving onto something else? Just curious.

Wanting the ability to adjust boost levels whenever i want, more power outta pump gas, more torque overall, etc etc. If i had know about the turbo kit before i would have gotten it in the first place. Seems stupid, i know.

You arent ripping yourself off. It's just extremely rare to see a high end blower kit come up for sale used.

Hell, I'll do the same thing you do if I'm not happy with how my F1 does at the track, I think it should be setup alright this time around, it will for sure come out a lot more aggressive, I just hope to see over 15psi, but thats up in the air right now

Cars just been sittin for the last few weeks. To lazy to throw in some new o2s i guess but i should take it to the track at least once to see what itll do so i can have a comparison to the turbo setup. Im happy with the YSI power but im sure ill be even happier with the GT76.

you'll be happy with the turbo. Your fuel system should support the turbo set-up. Your 630rwhp blower engine was using up 60-80HP just turning the blower. So you will most likely see more RWHP on a set injector size with a turbo vs a blower.

good luck

Should be fun either way. I have the same setup and went 10.3 so far off idle and with a shakedown tune. I should be out again in a week or so and I have a YSi now, I had a YS.
