Eric F, of course they'll need time to test and tune, that's what I'm for! I get the strenuous task of having to drive all over the east coast in my Turbo Protege, putting as many miles on it as I can, and seeing how well it holds up against hot bikini-laden chicks laying all over it and posing for pictures at various beaches [/B]

rosendo, the kit should be ready for sale in approx. 2 months (I'm just guessing here). The 1st kit is done, the only thing left now is to test and tune the product. As for the ecu, the Stage I kit will run with the stock computer. If anything, I think they might use a rising rate fuel regulator. Other than that the stock system won't have any problems handling 6psi.
If anyone would like more information on the turbo kit, or any other FIC product, you can reach them at 954-969-7916, or just post here and I'll do the best I can to relay your questions.

Yeah that's a good price with the basic system you get.
And 6 PSI is not bad at all to give the car oomph power .
I'm still going for the BEGI kit though. A little more expensive but way more power potential.
I'll be sure to plug your kit though. That one is still great for most people.
And it also looks like a nice clean setup.

I like that log style turbo manifold.

I have a question about the gauge pod... Does it limit the tilt of the wheel at all?

No, it doesn't limit anything really. It's pretty factory-like.
FYI, if anyone wants a pod with a gauge already in it let me know and I'll get you a good price.

I have a 1989 Mazda MX-6 Turbo and the amount of heat generated by the turbo is tremendous. I am running 14 pounds of boost. This turbo is buried way down in the engine compartment and still created some serious heat. How will will keep from blistering the paint on the hood of your car with the turbo so close to the hood? I think it looks great, just hope that you install some asbestous jamies around that monster. Thanks for the pics.

i love this and i'm dying to see how you get on with a t3/04...
thats potentially some crazy *** hp. i wouldn't be quite as worried about the heat as i would about my crappy transmission. although you will probably need some sort of shield - not just for the paint but you don't wanna cook the radiator!!
...still drooling over those pics

It pulls really hard at 7psi, just gotta tune it a little this week.

It does look like a good setup. Have you had it on the dyno yet? What are the projected wheel Hpand Tq? I was also wondering about the fuel management issue and reliability. Would this kit come with everything you need? I might be leaning twords a P5 if this works out, but at the moment I am sorry but the power is really, really not there. Thanks for the info!!
