What have you done to your P5 today?

[scottm1985]

Lol same here Scratch lol, and i give props for people that have the money to do that to a car. but i would just like to do simple bolt ons. and just simple stuff and not have to by oil allot ,
Damm mise well go down to florida and get allot of bottles and start storing that stuff for back up or just to top off lol j/k guys and gals

 

[Matt V]

Who said anything about buying a lot of oil? I think by the time you spend all the cash for your bolt-on parts I'll be only a couple hundred past you but much faster and more satisfied. People also underestimate the reliability of a properly maintained turbo'd car.

It's all about execution, using the right parts and playing it smart.

 

[scottm1985]

No body did but you have to have oil to keep it running and smoothly on top of that, just giving you a hard time MAtt you can do whatever you have will power to do and on top of that the Cash because money talks and bulls*** walks, and if you do anything dont do it cheap because if you do it make sure you get the top of the line, that my moto.

 

[scottm1985]

Trade your ride in for either a MS3 Or MS6 or something turbo'd if you dont like everyone passing ya

 

[Matt V]

Well my car doesn't burn one drop of oil (probably a factory freak). On top of that, I'll be getting a Doc B built oil pump along with his external bypass valve so the plan is to work out any weak links and then finally go turbo.

[Matt V]

I would too if I had the money...

But that's not what this is about.

 

[dxaveP5]

i enjoy my p5 being slow, it'd be better if it were low, then id be low and slow.

 

[Matt V]

I will still be slow if I use factory MSP parts, but it will be more enjoyable to drive everyday.

 

[dxaveP5]

i like my 33+ mpg

 

[HKPRO5]

is raiding other forums for turbo parts.

 

[reut1]

i like my 33+ mpg :d

+1

 

[SPcamert]

How are you guys getting 33+? I get like 27 on a good day driving carefully.

 

[dxaveP5]

i have no clue, but i drive it normally, im not slamming the gas just normal driving and i get about 32-34 mpg here in Texas.

 

[Lewis7789]

Matt, didn't you just say a month ago you were going to sell your P5? Now you're turbo'ing it? Haha! You crack me up, mate. Well, if you stick to it, I'm sure it will be done right and not all half-assed. Looking forward to the progress.

Scott, your grammer is terrible. Your posts are like riddles. signed- the grammer Nazi, Evan.

 

[justanothermp5]

i get pretty decent gas mileage with my car, even being turbo, i think like around 350 per tank

and i drove it to cars and coffee, met up with scratchnsniff for the first time, gonna have some pics of the meet up later
it was pretty fun, too bad it was like 98 degrees out there at 9am lol

edit: and i dont think you guys understand the difference a turbo makes, even at low psi its a HUGE difference, i couldnt beleive how much faster my car was when i first turboed it lol now i have it set at 13psi and i can outrun most cars, its really worth it, and it doesnt make the car unreliable at all IMO, just gives you things to work on now and then LOL
