Before I begin I would like to thank Juan and his partners for the 100s of hours they have put into developing and fabricating this kit for the 3. I would also like to thank Juan and his partners for the time and effort they put into installing and tuning my kit this weekend.

Going into this my nerves were already frazzled. My lack of knowledge in the area didnt help. I was quite honestly very nervous and spent many hours in the approaching days thinking about the install when I should have been sleeping.

These nervous feelings for the most part were quickly squashed within minutes of meeting with and talking to Juan. His kind, courteous and professional demeanor put me at ease. What doubts I did have quickly vanished once he began work. With the skill of a surgeon he began dissecting my car and preparing it for what I can only describe is a compete transformation into a turbo driven beast.

The car is very fast and quick. It pulls hard and accelerates quickly with no hesitation at any time. But enough of all that. Here are some pictures.

Juan and his son (Juan) hard at work.
Note* Juans son was there on both build days.. all day.. And I must say is the most well-mannered even tempered child I have ever met. Juan is quite proud of him.

Highly skilled professionals fine tuning the kit.

Well thats about it for now.. I havent really even unpacked yet or taken a shower :shock: I promised pics and wanted to get this up as soon as possible so it's not very detailed.
I will post more pics of the finished product and give a more detailed account and description of the installation and components once I have settled back in. I will also get some video clips which I am sure everyone will enjoy.

I thought juan lived in PR?

OH, looks awesome by the way. Now post some dyno sheets! (humpleg)
 
just plain awsome!!! love the way it look with the cover on. i didn't know Juan also made installations. how much for the install?. question for Juan.... we have alot of great tuners here in Puerto Rico, do you have any expirience with any of them? would
you recomend someone for this install? I'm a couple of post's away from making the
jump to turbo heaven.
 
is that a 2.0?
what turbo ?
is msp stock intercoller ok?
did u get a ecu?
or fuel regulator?
and can i get u to do install mine?
and for howmuch?
 
Man that is awesome....and I hope some people will cut Juan some slack when it comes to answering emails since they are pretty busy and you can see why.

Now, you need to take the cover off, looks better without it. And you need one of this...

wow nice work Juan ... I will agree with everything you said bout Juan and his tuning and skill of installs ... welcome to the HIboost club


can u post sound clips of the type RS when u get a chance
 
im curious to see what the dyno says for the sedan, i have seen the gains on the hatch but i think our car is lighter.

i love the pictures, very nice work from juan, too bad im so far away cause if i had someone competent to do the work i would have jumped on this a long time ago. I just dont trust anyone in this area, not many very skilled people.

In any case, great pictures, get some videos up and most definitely we need a dyno!
 
Vehicle weight will not have an effect on a dyno because the car is not moving. I think it's only a matter of maybe 200lbs which may very slightly improve timeslip numbers. Believe me with the high numbers being put down you will not know the difference.
