neidejb ran 13 psi on his stock internals and got 253hp to the ground on his f22. maybe like 6-8psi for daily driver and as long as u change ur oil and keep it cool you should be good for awhile

TeamBlurry, have you found a shop to do the install yet? I recommend GT Group in Pasadena.

GT. . . do you know how much would it cost to get it tuned and dyno there? i was thinking about going to SP or Quest. For how much it cost, i got mine used but a new one will cost about $2500. it's a pretty good turbo kit and the guy i bought it from was running low 12's w/ stock internals. The only things i am missing from his setup is a msd, intercooler, and injectors. i have some audio for sale if anyone is interested because i need to get rid of some stuff to fund this project. If this project just becomes a pain in the ass, i'll just end of selling the kit.

for sale
- accelle vision 7" monitor (active matrix) $220
- Brand new Alpine Type-R 15" sub 1500 watts max $200
- Barely Used Viper 1200.1d mono Amp 1200watts RMS $250
-will take best offer.

GT does not have a dyno. I'd just suggest them for the install. SP is gonna be pretty expensive, but they will also be able to tune it for you and save you from having to go pay for dyno time and get it tuned. I'd call around and see what your options are.

i've had friends have problems w/ them, but they do good work. Do they have a dyno to tune it? I suggest just going to a local shop, there are a shit load in the area. I really suggest GT group for the install and then going somewhere else to have it tuned. But if you can find someone to do it all for a good price do it.

I think tuning would cost about 100-200$. Just call around. GT Group is in pasadena.
