Well me and metal jim did the install on it saturday and sunday i have a some questions though.. The blow off valve is making a wierd noise doesnt even sound like a bov lol like it stutters and also do you know how much of a pain in the ass that install was? lol im so beat i keep getting this fuel leak i drove it to school today and i saw it was leaking some idk if i should drive it home its the fuel return line going to FPR im guessing i prob can using no boost thanks metal jim! :D

LOL, that makes two of us!
13 on sat, 2 hours on fri night, and 2 hours yesterday. I reccomend against a custom turbo install! holly shit is all I have to say, I should be boosting tonight, just a fe minor things left :)

i had the weird fluttering sound once also. I took bov off and the vaccum lines and reattached it and it sounded normal agian. it might be seated on the flange wierd. only thing i can think of.

is it leaking where the line goes to the fpr or in the fpr? try adding a second clamp if its leaking where the line attaches to the fpr

No prob man. It was fun. It did take a while, but it was worth it.

That's a great idea about double clamping the fuel lines. Is it only on the FPR side? I hope so , cause the fuel rail and return line are a bitch to get to.

haha well i went out and got some REAL gas lines so that wont be a problem any more and put them in tonight i have to up the FPR and im not totally sure what it should idle at

it was really that hard?? i heard from people that it is not hard at all like the hardest part is taken off the old parts what made it so hard???

Didn't know you were going turbo this quickly George. I remember when you were trying to buy my turbo kit but I thought u had $ issues or something when you stopped asking me EVERYDAY. You buy new or used? Good luck w/ the car.

haha similar experience to mine. It took me 4 days of on and off work on the car until it finally got running. Then when I came home from school I smelled gas and a lot of it. So I pulled over and I open my hood BAM there's a geyser of fuel sprayin out of my engine bay. I thought damn it's gonna catch on FIRE! Found out that one of the hoses I used for the fuel line got a hole somehow, it wasn't even a real fuel hose, so I run home and take my parents van to kragens and get some fuel hoses and patch it up.

about the BOV make sure it's seated to the flange properly. It's either that or your not making much boost so it flutters.

my bov fluttered also.. there are two things you can do.
firstly route the vacuum line from the bov directly to the intake mani, don't T it off any other lines, you want it to get as strong a signal as you can.

And if you have the star kit, try removing the metal pipe between the compressor and the air filter (put the filter directly on the compressor) don't ask my why, but it took the fluttering out of my bov. it worked for Dino also...

Try those two and let us know.

yeap.. Longer path to the filter creates more vaccuum on the compressor inlet side, causing it to draw air both through the filter and compressor to equalize, which causes compressor backspin, which is what you hear. Real high pitched turkey gobble..

Hardest part for me was getting those damn rusted bolts off the cat so I could saw it and attach the gayest downpipe i've ever seen. It works though. I can't complain.

hey dino i have a couple questions for you, mind if i talk to you on aol my SN is Fishex98 thank you, chris hey man ! i thought you were away! i called your house but it said you were away for a month or so... anyway i think my fpr is bad its the crap tech and it WONT go above 80 psi which sucks but o well might as well upgrade it its not my fuel pump i pinch the fuel return line and the psi jumped up to 120 and i let go right away

Your BOV is just celebrating Thanksgiving.

GOBBLE GOBBLE :)


...hey give me a break, I had to wait a whole year to say that.

well, before i had the turbo off i was running 120 psi of fuel of the fpr. I was actually having problems lowering the fuel pressure. Are you sure the fuel pump is hooked up right? When i first did my instal i didn't have a good connection and i couldn't get the fuel pressure about 80 psi either. then i re-did the connectons and it went up. Does the fuel pump sound like an airplane? if it doesn't then it might not be hooked up right.

ill recheck everything tonight im pretty positive i have the fuel pump right but ill double check

How much amperage should that pump be circuited for. We put that pump on it's own relay which was rated at 15 amps, so right now it's on a 15 amp circuit. I'm not sure if thats enough. Is that enough? Also, what gauge wire should be used? It did seem pretty loud when it was running.
