thanks dano...lmk if you want some parts...i'm keeping the turbo on the car, not that you need a turbo...all the other bolt/stick on stuff is going:'(

 

[altspace]

Ah yes, I know the feeling Mark. At least you are keeping her. The mods and time spent on my P5 was well worth it. There were many I could not undo so to speak, such as all the engine cleaning and polishing, my eDead sound deadening, various painted parts, etc.

Mark, I noticed that the valve cover on your MSM is painted. Are all MSM's like that? Maybe Phen knows.

thanks luke, i'm planning on it...not sure robin is, but i am...

Nice. So the boost is limited to 7.25 PSI. Do people swap out the turbo or change the BOV to get more boost?

 

[bazooka joe]

you mean wastegate.....you can add a manual boost controller and or bigger turbo, by adding a larger FMI, cold air intake and ehaust could net you 25+HP and not touching the boost. they also a plug and play engine management system...the options are only limited by you pocket book! i can't believe the aftermarket support for these cars...it's amazing..the p5 was just so limitied

 

[EGTT91]

Welcome to the beautiful feeling of a turbo BP! theres nothing like it bro!

 

[bazooka joe]

thanks man....i had my heart set on an msm and a lot of people couldn't get it...i;m glad i got it!!

 

[Astral]

can I take a farewell drive in the P5, mark, before you part her out?

haha, no farewell for the p5 ...i'm only parting out the stick/bolt on parts...the turbo stays on as i'm using this car, much like you do, as a winta beta!

I think mine wishes someone else owned her.

 

[genericuser]

man.. now I want an MSM badly.

'cept I think I'd go black mica

 

[THE Phen]

Black Mica = hot.
Black Mica = Good luck finding one.

 

[genericuser]

There's two for sale within 50 miles of me.

I just don't have the $16k to spend on it.

 

[THE Phen]

Damn. Not bad for being one of only a few hundred.

 

[genericuser]

I'll keep my NA for a while.. She's only got 68k miles on her.. Not bad for a 13 year old car.

My next upgrade will be the forester to mini cooper s conversion.

Mark, when you start modding, you should contact Glenn Long @ Freedom Autosports or get a hold of Jason Saini of Team MER, as both of these guys can be of great assistance to you.
