    what's different?

    Ok. I like the thought of sending a turbo off to BNR for a build, but they say I can't send a K0422-582 off for an application for my Speed3. Side by side, the 582 seems to be the same turbo, especially if they're replacing th CHRA. I'd just like to know if anybody can clarify the difference...

    Hi, just joined a little bit ago.

    So, just sold my Ls1 FD for something with a little more.., I mean a lot more... room. Got rid of the speed bug, mostly but still enjoy a little boost. Just don't get the same feeling from an NA v8, honestly. Anyway, I just picked up an MP5, real cheap. It's white with sunroof and manual trans...

    WTB: Msp/p5 ss-afc.

    I need the unit, wires, and software(everything!). I plan on running a MSP kit on my P5 and read this was the best engine management solution. I don't care if it has any maps on it, I'm going to run my own anyways.
