boostwerx na-t kit

just been looking at this kit http://www.boostwerx.com/

the base kit ,ive just a couple of questions

1.would the std n/a ecu be ok

2.would you need a fmic or will it work without one

3.would i need a new manfold

4.would my std fuel pump cope

5.would i need any other electronic wizardy fcd,turbo timer.etc etc

6.with this kit fitted and running on low boost i would be expecting around 300 bhp is this right

7.i presume with this low boost kit your std head gasket would not need to be replaced

8. i would need the oil feed pipe as well

and once fitted can it be upgraded as funds allow .

is this kit available in the uk ?? cause the dollar/pound exchange rate is good at the mo.but the postage is a lot

thanks for your comments guys.

Oh my God, someones found a box of pipe fittings and decided to make a "manifold". Hideous, keep well clear.

runs for the hills

Looks like a Blue peter job

i thought this boostwerx kit was quite reputable so its a load of crap then, whats wrong with it ???????

Weld-els are not really the thing to make a manifold out of, it's a bit like making a fishing rod from scaffolding pole. Apart from the material choice the gas flow couldn't be worse. Must be something better available. Now if Arnout did his cast iron manifold with an N/A bolt pattern.....

if you want a cheap NA-T kit check out Autochrome on ebay they sell the Xpower NA-T kits that have been proven time and time again.

or even better go to http://www.clubna-t.com and xpower have their own treaders thead on there I think the whole kit is $2000 or there abouts ok shipping will be $400 odd but still a damn good price

thanks datson as i dont know much about turbos i was just asking for some info and comments which i got along with some sarcasm and a picture of an electric blow off valve sorry mate didnt get that

all i want is a basic turbo kit for my n/a that can be upgraded when funds allow will check out the links thanks

the base kit ,ive just a couple of questions

1.would the std n/a ecu be ok

Yes you can keep the stock ecu

2.would you need a fmic or will it work without one

Yes you can, but only 1 a 2 psi, not worth it, so go for a FMIC.

3.would i need a new manfold

Yes, you can;t keep the stock manifold.

4.would my std fuel pump cope

I wouldn;t advise to use a stock pump, go for a proper one. they only cost max 100pounds.

5.would i need any other electronic wizardy fcd,turbo timer.etc etc

Yes you need other gizmo's, like a fuelcomputer, widebandmeter, boostmeter. It depends on budget and desired goals.

6.with this kit fitted and running on low boost i would be expecting around 300 bhp is this right

Low boost ~7psi will give you aprox 300bhp

7.i presume with this low boost kit your std head gasket would not need to be replaced

You don;t need to replace the stock headgasket.

8. i would need the oil feed pipe as well

Yes you need the oil kit (oil feed, oil return)

and once fitted can it be upgraded as funds allow .

is this kit available in the uk ?? cause the dollar/pound exchange rate is good at the mo.but the postage is a lot

thanks for your comments guys.

The DaveH kit is only available via american webstores like boostwerx.com and http://www.mvpmotorsports.com

Keep in mind that all is depending on budget and desired goals, take your time and try to find out as much as you can before you buy something.

Here;s a link to get an idea what is involved to setup a basic kit.

Top quality kit, and as Terry says been on my car for coming up to two years without one problem.

What Bhp did you achieve and what does it go like ? I'm getting more and more interested in this conversion , My sup is in good condition ( well i think it is ) and its got 62 tho on the clock is this mileage ok still to be converted or is it impossible to tell really ?
