Getting a Greddy in like 2 days
hey everyone.. im a complete newb in the world of turbos so please bear with me. :D

you can throw the kit on and walk away with 130-140rwhp safely.
my first suggestions would be:

Lets see more pics o dem wheels.

Dont forget the timing retard if you dont have the bipes. Makes sure you keep retarding it until you hear no ping or else that low mileage motor of your will be toast in no time. Greddy recomendes retarding to 6* but mine pinged until 4. At that you have no low end power whatsoever so your going to need a timing contoller. With just the base Greddy kit your car will still be reliable so dont worry about being unsafe. Also dont forget to do the manifold cuts so that it doesnt crack. Other then that, you learn as you install. dont worry about not knowing anything without the experiance. not many of us did until we actually go our hands dirty. Just dont be stupid and make silly mistakes, take your time, and have fun with it.

Add an intercooler and fuel to help you reach your goals.
OT: Did you just recently buy that c-wings front lip? More pics? |
brgracer.. that write up was really helpful and i appreciate your time to write it up.
JDMAflac.. the lip is not a c wings lip but a carbon replica of the bsp lip. ill post more pics of the lip and wheels later on haha |
