I will have numbers posted up after I get it dyno'd. I didn't want to blow the turbo without some break in time. I'll schedule a dyno probably the first Sat of May. So stay tuned.

one question for you guys, did you guys squeeze the turbo through the bottom of the car or did you take off the intake plenum?
i was mocking my turbo up the other day and i had to take apart my compressor housing for it to fit through.

So does this turbo setup have any affect on your MPG, and does it shorten the engine life (how much)... new to turbos

Mileage report, I avg normally driving as crazy as I do without the turbo at 30-32mpg. With the turbo my first tank is at 30.9mpg and second tank at 28mpg(was flooring it a lot lol). So if you drive normally, you wont lose any mpg really. Get in boost range and that will suck up the gas a little more but not by much.
