TheAnser Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Car looks great and the numbers are promising. Nice to see this kit getting some attention from forum members, hopefully it's still around if/when I get bored with the N/A! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1stick3pedals Posted July 10, 2011 Author Share Posted July 10, 2011 really! it looks sooo good. I wish it wasn't $1K+ It was definitely worth the cash. I love it!! Car looks great and the numbers are promising. Nice to see this kit getting some attention from forum members, hopefully it's still around if/when I get bored with the N/A! I'm sure it will be. I have no regrets going this route. The car always put a smile on my face and now does more than ever. Not sure if your interested or not but doc hilladay designed the top sticker for me. Your more than welcome to rock the boosted 2.5i sticker too That's pretty sick. Do you have a link for buying it? I might not put it on my car, not much of a sticker guy, but I like to collect stickers haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1stick3pedals Posted July 10, 2011 Author Share Posted July 10, 2011 Quick update on my car. Currently at 2600 miles with the kit. Car pulls like a champ and is running great still. 2 things have changed since last time. I put my old emblem back on the grill because I kind of missed having it, and it hides the horns a little. I also decided to install a boost gauge. First impression is it's cool, but a tad bright at night. I don't have a night picture atm because my camera's batteries died lol. If anyone is interested in a night picture I can grab one another time. http://img856.imageshack.us/img856/5205/dscn2084v2.jpg http://img339.imageshack.us/img339/3280/dscn2081a.jpg Lastly. My next oil change is coming up at the end of this month most likely. So I will be going back for a re-tune in August to raise the boost to 6psi. After doing the math out this will put me at at least 194whp and 198wtq. I'm quite excited for that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryouske Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 Me too! I have the same gauge it is really bright! I was thinking of trying to tint it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point it's not bothering me though. But I would like it to have a similar light output as my original car gauges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryouske Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 Yeah I have mine in my cubby so it helps with the light a little. I just hit 2800 on my turbo and am hopefully getting it tuned in august too. Looking forward to 6psi! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If/when I go boosted i would love to have the digital boost gauge that fits in the cubby above the head unit. The emblem looks great in the black void. The SPT is def number 1 on my list of replacement CBEs for my currently wrecked legacy lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad I put the emblem back on, it does look good haha. I back the SPT cat-back 100%, looks great, sounds great, good quality product. I think I saw somewhere about your accident and photos. Glad you're okay. Good luck on the repairs!! And an update. I just scheduled my re-tune for the beginning of August. Can't wait for the 6psi tune! That should technically put me at 70whp/wtq over stock!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to keep that in mind! It's been a while, but I finally have a nice UPDATE! Should change the title to 3100 miles later and re-tuned! I just got my re-tune done this afternoon. It's awesome! Only additions since the last tune are the Boost Gauge, BOV, and a manual TurboXS boost controller. Currently putting down 201whp at around 5750rpm. The torque curve is not completely smooth so there are 2 peaks. First peak is at 3550rpm with around 195wtq and at about 4400 rpm it is 205wtq. I'm running about 6psi, my tuner said it goes up to 6.2. I do have some turbo lag now. But this thing rips, I couldn't be more happier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GEE-OTTO Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 So a stock LGT @ 255 crankhp would put down around the same power except you have better spool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N.sane Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 126hp baseline makes me sad haha (about 39% drivetrain loss), so using the same calculation, 201hp is about 280hp at the crank, which is great! Curious how much the kit effected your MPG? I average 23MPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apexjapan Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Great results! I hate to insert a commercial message here, but if people are interested in a kit in the near future (next 1-3 months) I'm putting the order together for a new batch of kits. Let me know if your interested, I don't want to order too few.
