Perrin made this to work with SSQV and their intercooler (styled identically to Turbolife's). i've seen people VTA without relocating the MAF, and this should be able to work with the Turbolife intercooler setup. i'm just a little concerned with stalling.

I did not relocate my MAF, and i rarely ever had any stalling. The same goes for Pirana with the same set-up. The few times it stalled, was when i was lazy in between shifts after giving it a good amount of gas.....and letting the rpm's drop quickly. The car catches it most of time and doesnt let it stall, but every now and then it just gives. Honestly, i didnt mind it....its nothing to be worried about imo. Daily driving it with VTA was not a problem....

except that the turbo is still unwinding at high speeds (potentially) and not getting any oil after you stall...

poor little turbo

Poor MSP with such a small turbo...

yea man, everything i heard is turbolife is the s***. i love my CXracing kit, and it pactically fit like it was made for the MSP, just a couple of small cuts. took maybe 1-2 hoursh to install. the BOV that it comes with is fine functionality wise, but it doesnt sound like the authentic GREDDY type-s. maybe ill hit the dyno this week and ill hit you up if i do. i just never had a smic to compare it to, as i was n/a prior to the fimc. i dont really see what would make the turbolife one worth double the cost. its just a bunch of pipes and a core either way right? maybe it is worth double because it takes less time to install, idk.

There can be differences in the Core. just look at the Stock SMIC Vs. Custom SMIC. By your logic nothing should change, because its just a Core and some pipes right?

Wrong, there are a lot of factors: Air Flow, Volume inside the Core+pipes, and the amout of Heat that the core accually disipates. The stock SMIC heat soaks like crazy... that makes it s***. And im sure that a $100 FMIC core is going to heat-soak more then a proven quality product.
just my 2 cents. take it for what its worth.

you get what you pay for. period.

If it were only so easy.

 

[evanisonfire]

that would be why i scrapped the whole ebay idea lol. for proven performance there is no cheaping out

 

[evanisonfire]

just put a downpayment on the turbolife! depinately stoked.

 

[Ricktalife]

congrats!

 

[special--k]

this dam canadian $ is pissing me OFF!

 

[evanisonfire]

i just sucked it up and put my downpayment in......... in the short time from now untill then end of the GB our dollar will not gain much ground if any.. a few bad cents per dollar is not enough to make me back out of a kit that would otherwise cost me well over $1000 lol

Lol, the oil doesn't just instantly leave the turbo during the 2 seconds in between stalling and restarting. I'm pretty sure your doing more harm boosting an fs engine to begin with.....poor little mazda rods.
