Commited to Boost

[1sty]

I just mailed my $1570 to Corky to start my kit.
I have never been this friggen nervous before about a purchase!

 

[JcsMP3]

what is in his kit for that price......

 

[1sty]

The kit was locked in to $2950 becuase I sent him a deposite before he began designing the kit. The kits comes with everything to get the charger up and operational and all of the hardware needed also. The only thing it doesnt come with is the locktight. The kit runs 8 PSI and was the one put on wshade, I think thats his name, car.

Good luck in installing it, just remember, take your time and do it right.

Thats kind of what I am worried about I am a mobile Audio installer so I know my way around a car and have an ungodly amount of snap-on tools but I simply don't know mechanics well. I got maximum boost and have read several times but I am still a little worried

though ive never done something as involved as a turbo, i can say this...
TAKE YOUR TIME!
no matter how pissed you get, step back and relax before anything rash...be safe, and wear gloves...
thats all i got on this one...

[1sty]

US money and no extra parts needed, just some locktight and grease.

Congratulations!! You will not be disappointed. Take your time. Take a deep breath. You will be fine. If you run into a problem or need some reassurance Corky will always be there for you. The instructions are very complete. I just got my exhaust pieces back from HPC (hpcoatings.com) and on the car. I will post more detailed photos of the set up to my website for your viewing in the next week or so for a visual reference. Good luck!

I noticed on your car you didn't have the A pillar cover on becuase of the boost guage, is that a needed evil? Its not a big deal to me I can always build some pillar pods from fiberglass but I would need the guages. If I can get a good one constructed for myself would anyone be interested in one? By the way the videos were awsome!

 

[WShade]

Boost guage is vital for monitoring. My pillar is with BEGI. They are in the process of making a single and double pod. I opt for the double since I will install a EGT guage.

 

[1sty]

a EGT guage.

Ah, What?
