my biggest pet peeve.

I'm pretty darn sure he used that correctly actually.

he used their correctly
it's possesive it is "their tubo" not the turbo over there

He most likely edited it, and no one answered the poor guy's question...

Yeah a few do...It is not the absolute best kit for the gains/price ratio...but as far as build quality and support, I heard it is un-matched...

I am not looking for great gains, or else I would of bought some other car. I still want the good gas mileage, just need a little more power.;)

yeah, he totally edited that.


but i would check on the bell turbo.

I thought the Bell turbo was what ultimately became the FM Protege turbo...The project was started by Bell Engineering, or BEGI (This is what I can't remember so please correct it if it is wrong) and taken under FM's control before completion...

I think a stage 1 from spool is good for now. You can always ugrade to stage 2, 3, 4.

The Spool kit has to be the best out there right now...

A lot of RnD went into the kit and seems to be the best fabbed kit for the 2L Pros. The kits have been street/dyno tested now on the company's and consumers cars for about a year now.

They are working on a Stage 4 setup that basically is the previous stages with the addition of MicroTech's standalone unit that will allow 10psi+ at a $1500 pricetag :(

It all comes down to reliability and the FM and Spool are the best out there with cars that have ran 50k+ miles with no problems.

On the other hand there are some up and coming company/shops out there coming out with some impressive units at impressive prices, such as the Perfworks that uses a Super60 ball bearing as opposed to a Garrett T3. You also have HiBoost which looks to be a promising kit that comes with the more expensive IHI full ball bearing AND a Haltech F10 ECU for fuel management. Both companys releasing them in the next few weeks (?).

Yes, I do. What do you want to know? Check out my sig and you will see I accually have one of the prototype kits, but it is now a FP (Flyin' Protege is what they are called now) due to the fact that I have changed out many of the prototype parts for the FP parts.

how can you live with yourself, just to sit there, see a mistake, not even have any valid input on the subject and grammatically correct someone? run-on sentences, no capitals, double negatives and improper nowns (nouns) are the way we does things around here, so bugger off :)
