So I need a new turbo and finding a GT2554 i can afford has been a pain. I'm pretty new to this stuff but from what i've found the T25's from the SR20DET are very similar and look like they should be a fairly smooth swap, seem to be easier to find at lower prices too. I'm going to have my...

Turbo is shot, looking for a replacement at a decent price. Also if anyone knows of cars that use this same turbo would be greatly appreciated, looking into scavenging auto wreckers if need be. Thanks

My cat is starting to go so i'm just going to hollow it out and run a catless exhaust. I want to stay away from having a CEL all the time. Where would I get an 02 simulator online? tried some of the performance shops around but none for our cars. Also has anyone done the diode trick to fake out...

alright so this is long overdue, found the leaks, idle is correct at -20 to -21, but my problems have been steadily getting worse. When I really try and accelerate quickly in the car, im getting up to 9-10 ish psi but thats only because the limiter is stopping it from spiking any higher, and the...

So i seem to be having a fairly similar issue to what has been mentioned above. By the sounds of it, from what i've read, it's pointing to the wastegate but any input would be good since i'm far from an expert on turbo cars. First off i've got an ion FMIC, injen CAI, hks BOV, ion turbo back...

How would i go about doing that? and what products should I use?

I have a carbon fibre hood on my car, when i polish it up it looks good, but the shine quickly goes away and gets almost a cloudy, white film on it. It'd be nice if i didn't have to power polish it every week or so and still have it look decent. It looks especially odd because of the 3M...

I have the car set at 9 psi but when i step really on it i hit the 11.5-12 mark, I think thats defined as a spike but i'm not 100% if thats the correct term haha. When I see it get that high I back right off the throttle because I really don't want to create more problems in the car. I just want...

The wastegate seems fine, couldnt blow through it at all. I'll take some pictures of my engine set up this weekend to show what I have for mods and such. I'm going to take a look at the other stuff this weekend and report back with my findings. I read the hesitation thread and that sounds...

I'm very new to this msp as well as turbo cars in general but i've been reading up for the last bit trying to diagnose my issue. At first my car was hitting fuel cut but i was able to solve that with the boost controller, I have the blitz sbc-ID. But now I have a vacuum leak somewhere that I...

So im not overly familiar with how the boost controllers are set up: ratios, gains, etc, etc. I have the blitz I-D boost controller and blitz power I-D and I seem to be having an problem with over boosting. Right now I have the boost set at 9 psi, but when I really step on the gas I end up...

Im going to replace/upgrade (If i can afford too!) my front and rear pads, rotors and calipers, where are the best places to find these parts? Can be either online or in stores

yeah id rather not blow out the engine, i leave it at 9 and haven't gone any higher yet and dont plan on it unless is did some more upgrading to the engine block, it was more out of curiosity to see what the stock motor and turbo could handle with the few upgrades as mentioned

i added one pic of the car into profile into my garage I think it was, Ill take more once the snow get the hell outta here haha, i need to do some minor touch up's with the paint but other than that it runs awesome, love it so far!

I bought a MSP a few weeks ago, not overly familiar with the car and its components yet, but the boost is currently set at 9 psi. I'm was curious what I would be able to set it at without damaging the turbo. The mods to the car are: ION performance turbo back exhaust, Injen cold air intake, ION...
