I know everyone is tired of my indecisiveness...but FM or BEGi?
The FM "no electronics kit" is $2800, the bell kit is $1000 more. Is the coolant re-route (which may not even be a true re-route), distribution block, air scooper, and different dp design worth the extra $1000?
This money is starting to burn a hole in my checking account. |
id probally go with the fm kit. its a 1000$ cheaper,why not.
i dont like those air scoopers.and you can probally make a coolant reroute foe $100. i dont know what a distibution block is ,sorry on that one. |
I'm only considering build quality. I don't want to deal with welds cracking and shit like that. If I went with FM, I can get exhaust and a clutch for the difference.
|
I've also thought about not buying an intercooler from either one, and getting a track dog racing IC, since Gary is my sister's neighbor, and I may be able to get a better price than the advertised one.
|
Man i love the TD IC setups and if you've got the bank and hook up to get one I say go FM or BEGI and do that. You can make your own scooper and do your own reroute later on.

Go with the BEGi kit.
Your getting a better downpipe,manifold,oil & water lines. Just a overall better engineered kit than the FM kit. |

Are there reliability problems with the FM stuff?
It's too early for any problems to come up yet. However if any problems do/did arise,I'm sure the FM nutswingers that purchased the "new" FM kit would not report it publically for all to see. |

Another reason I don't want the FM shit...and why do they have to put their name on everything?
If you don't want the FM kit,just go with the BEGi kit. You do have a choice. |
Why not buy a turbo, manifold, and downpipe of your choice from Begi. Then run an ebay intercooler n piping? You have megasquirt running right?

a $1000 difference though.
Not to mention the coolant re-route and the water by-pass and all the other extra things that the FM kit does not have. |

Yes I know,but remember your getting a better designed and proven reliable kit.

^ Not sure,Stephanie might want to answer this one.
I will be getting the BEGi re-route soon( just need more money). |
where do the water lines come from, that feed the turbo? How does everyone tap into them?
I've emailed begi twice on the coolant re-route, and they don't answer. The more I think about it...diy might be better in the long run, but will take forever. |

Plus, you'll actually get your BEGi stuff. :gay: |
BEGI, but you can also delete things
