But if you're paying someone else to do it, you may want to hold off if you plan on getting the turbo and DP in the near future because the labor is the same. You have to pull the DP to get to the UP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where do i install that and where can i get it radioshack? Thank you Tell the guy you want a 2.2k ohm resistor. the package has 5 in it for $1.25 Stick one in the connector the EGT connector comes out of. Its that simple. Oh the Tuner will cancel the CEL too. So remove it when the car gets tuned. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD).

goneskiian Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 16G is a great street turbo. Definitely needs a tune though. May not be a "real" turbo in some people's eyes but is plenty fun to get you into trouble! So I've heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
