Well, after a month of sitting I finally got the motivation to fix coupler that popped off. I also got some goodies in for the P5. *wink wink* I need a new turbo and manifold though. Mine is starting to shoot soot onto the hood and look horrible. New garage=new adventures.

Its a rotary, it probably needs an engine lmao no one takes care of them properly

Hahaha no time to even do that and im outta ammo :/ is that an rx8 i spot in the background tho

Well, it has been a while. I've been chillin (P5 has turned into my daily since sedan needs wheel bearings bad, has a very expired inspection and registration, and I shattered the windshield the day before I went to get it inspected). However I think my turbo is finally on its last leg, boost...

Put around 330 miles on the car yesterday and trouble free (sorta) about a week ago I downshifted and did a little pull and the CEL popped on after 700 miles. Can't find my code reader so I got my buddy from Autozone to read them. P0421, P0660, and P2006. P0421 is just a cat issue (I'm about 3...

So had to ghetto hookup my boost gauge with the help from the fiance lol vacuum is around -20 during warm idle but is boosting around 6-8 psi. Right on target, but feels like it falls off to me. Who knows. Car is on the road. Im happy. You can see the vacuum line coming in thru the window lolz...

Not necessarily a "kit" per say. But I just used the OEM setup. OEM turbo, manifold, coolant return elbow, MSP ECU, and downpipe. Then I got a sandwich plate for oil feed, tapped the oil pan for return, and just tapped into the throttle body for coolant feed. Mishi front mount intercooler...

I spent around $1800 on my turbo and whatnot for my p5 a year ago. (Probably closer to 2k but I ended up not using some things and wasted some money) but its not too bad. Lemme know if you have any questions

Well, nothing really to update. I had a few medical emergencies the Friday before cars and coffee (Fiance needed to be picked up from work and then one of my closest friends had to go to a hospital an hour and a half away for some tests so I offered to ride down there with her). I had to stop...
