Yes. Yes I did.







Wasnt planning on boosting it this quick, but Josh sent the link to me, and at under $500 for everything included I had to jump on it. Car goes in the garage at the first sign of snow, and should come back out next spring a little bit meaner.





Included in the kit:
Star turbo manifold, with Turbonetics Deltagate, T3/T4 Turbo (Turbonetics turbine housing, XS Power compressor housing)
Star 2.5" downpipe
Straight pipe for cat delete
Large FMIC
Brand new Ebay IC piping kit
SSQV knock off BOV welded in charge pipe
Walbro 255 LPH Fuel pump
Vortech 12:1 FMU
Oil feed line
Oil pan with turbo drain installed
Glowshift Boost Gauge


I am going to sell my extra exhaust manifold, as well as one of the intercoolers (should I keep this one or the Star FMIC?) and sell the FMU to put money towards DSM 450 injectors and a 1:1 FPR.

Awesome score!

I'd put a flex section in that downpipe though.

Honestly I was looking at that. I was like Hmm, this is how they came in the kit, but Every DP Ive seen has a flex section in it.

I envy you right now, but good find. :thumbsup

Use the bigger fmic. And a flex sectoin is not needed in the down pipe. I dont have one.

A bigger intercooler isn't always needed. Personally, i'd go with ever one has stronger fins so probably the Star intercooler since this one looks like an ebay one (not bad in anyway, just week fins) and from what i've noticed from alot of ebay cores is that over time the fins get incredibly messed up. Especially on a car that's driven on the streets alot. Just my input tho. Great find!

My downpipe only lasted about 2 months without a flew pipe installed before it broke at the flange bolted to the turbo. Save the headache later and go ahead and put one on now while its off. Especially if your on stock motor mounts that engine is gonna rock hard between shifts under boost.

I have polys and a vband downpipe.

Probably why your dp has lasted so long. I was talking about brick tho, if he had polys. Either way its a pita having to back track, knowing it could have been prevented.

True, only reason I dont have one is because I dodnt buy one when my buddy made my turbo back.

Yeah I had a star kit and the downpipe was shit. Fitment sucked, eventually cracked from no flex. Ended up fabricating a full 3" with Flex.

did you just sell this manifold on ebay? :P

No I didnt, but I have one Im bout to sell, thanks for the advice lol.
