35196, Thinking of Going turbo, few questions :-- ) Posted by jaypwshs, Nov-29-02 01:17 AM
I decided that the hahn kit would be the best for me. but is it bolt on and go or will i have problems with it?
i don't want to end up like my buddy, who put turbo on his 2.0 liter Jetta. He has had nothing but problems since, like it wouldn't hold idle and it has fuel problems.
thanx for all the help!

DESIGN YOUR OWN FUEL SYSTEM!!! the craptech FPR that comes with the hahn kit definately caused the death of my piston ring landings. get the Vortech S-FMU fuel pressure regulator and nice injectors and do it up yourself.

if you got the basic skills on how a car works you should be ok. but yah, change the hrc fpr, to the super-fmu and you should be ok. also as long as you install it correct you should be cool for now.. just dont go overboosting etc... well good luck

depends how much you wanna boost and you don't have a SuperAFC to tune leaner,or a Super FMU to lower idle pressure it's recommeded by hahn to keep it no more than 7 safe-9max psi with everything stock on Stage2. so i'd say go by what he says until you're ready to get a better bottom end, our cars are already run rich stock so if you throw on higher flow injectors, you'll be waaaay too rich. so when you're ready i'd say buy 440cc's or 42lb injectors to run 15psi daily till you become a better tuner and think you can handle more HP. the majority that has dynoed at that pressure made atleast from 275 to 310hp at the wheels of who i know of.

it came out sweet...you know i thought there wasn't that much of a performance difference from AT to MT, and boy was i wrong. there's people that say that you can maintain boost with AT when you shift...so what! you spool a lot faster and the vacuum to boost transition is alot smoother. it's like a whole new car. that car feels lighter, and you know the times that you smash the gas pedal and it like don't move for half a second, well not anymore, you peel out like crazy, and i'm pushing 15psi for a little bit just to feel the difference and man let me just say take my word for it, you'll love your car even more. it feels freak'n awesome. i did 13.6 last time i went to the track on AT so i'll see how i do this time when i get the chance to do my jeep throttle mod.
