82186, Turbo Specialties Turbo kit - Reviews post here Posted by istwuha, Feb-03-05 01:14 PM
Ok I can't find much on this kit, but I went ahead and ordered it from Prostreetonline last week and its due to arrive Feb 7th. Man I'm excited. Its a stage 2 (or the extreme kit as they call it) kit which consist of:
1 Garrett Turbo w/internal wastegate @ 6psi (I opt'd for the dual ball bearing)
1 High Nickel Composite Cast Exhaust Manifold 1 Downpipe 1 Fuel Pressure Regulator 1 MAP Unit 1 Oil Return Line and Fitting 1 Air Filter w/piping 1 Injection Control Unit w/APEXi Turbo Timer as is the AFCII/VAFCII 1 Injector Interface Block w/ denso Injectors 1 Blow Off Valve 1 High flow intercooler w/mounting hardware, pressure tubes, rubber hose connections and clamps
I've seen 1 review for it which was pretty good. Not on this forum though. Has anyone purchased this kit or have heard any good/bad news on it?

Never heard of it? I'm curious to see what sort a fuel controller is included and what it references to control the afr.

With a T-25 with Dual BB's, you can expect very fast spool's (aka, not to much lag), however i'm affraid you won't be able to push that turbo much higher than it's 6psi without going way out of the efficiency range. But, if you keep it at 6/7 psi, it will spool extremely fast and give you a very noticeable power boost. I'd need to look at a compressor map for that turbo, but it is pretty small and may run out of steam at higher RPM's (especially if you turn the boost up at all). Anyways, I see that it comes with an intercooler, which is good, but I would probably replace that vacuum tube looking hose, that can't be good for intake velocity ;). And if you ever want to turn the boost up, you'll probably have to install a larger turbo, but if you're content with ~200hp (which is around where that turbo on our car will max out I beleive), you shouldn't have any problems.
