forced air technologies turbo kit
I was wondering if you guys have heard of these people or know anybody who has one. If not check out the link:
http://www.forcedairtech.com/FORCED-...URBO-KITS.html I want to know how good these people are, because if they are reliable I make take a road trip and get me the stage 4 turbo they sell. http://www.forcedairtech.com/FORCED-...TAGE4-KIT.html The kit contents are very complete to me except for engine internals what you guys think? 1: The Turbo Charger for the Stage 1 and 2 kits is a Stage3-TO4E. The stage 3 kit is a GT25 Dual Roller Bearing Turbo. 2: The up pipe (2 1/8 inch) and down pipe (2 1/2 inch) including a 2 1/2 inch high flow catalytic converter section which includes 2 O2 sensor ports is included. 3:The Stage 1 kit comes with the pressure side manifold from the Turbo to the intake manifold and the air intake manifold to the Turbo Charger. 4: The Stage 2 and 3 and 4 kits come with an intercooler and all of the piping to install it. 5: All kits come with all of the oil supply lines to the Turbo and the Turbo oil return line. The passenger side valve cover is included on all the second generation 2.5 L engines for easy installation. 6: All kits come with a fuel pump. 7: All of the Turbo kits come with an RRFPR (rising rate fuel pressure regulator), an HKS sequential blow off valve, and a voltage clamp for all of the speed density equipped cars and They come with a piggy back computer system to control ignition timing and fuel. This computer system includes a 5th injector design for fuel enrichment under boost. All kits include a boost gauge, a digital air fuel mixture gauge and fuel pressure gauge. All of the kits include a High Performance Tial Sport Wastegate. A K&N air filter is also included. 8: They come with all of the necessary hardware and full color photo instructions to install. 9: All of our kits contain everything to Turbo Charge your vehicle. The only thing that the customer would have to supply is a minimum of a 2 1/2 inch exhaust system from the catalytic converter and back. Where as the factory exhaust is much too small for Turbo applications

I've seen the kit and it seems to be pretty well done. It's worth the money.
The guy is a bit of a spaz, but he at least knows what he's doing as far as the parts go. When it comes to preventing your motor from blowing up, he might not be the best source of information in my opinion. Chad 93 1.8T |

Uhhh.... I'm lost for words.... I had a nice 4 page long post a few weeks ago that talked specifically about the stage 4 kit that is on my car....
Is this deserving of a lock? |

No, just the requisite "Do a Search, Newbie!" slam.

most people use the acronym of FAT to represent Forced Air Tech... maybe that's why you didn't get a lot of results when you searched.....

so in one of your post you said you haven't had tuned the car yet. so what hp do you push out now? have had any problems with the turbos? What would you suggest in addition to the kit contents? besides the tec II? will engine management need to be done since its running 11 psi of boost?

The car was just recently tuned by Shiv... What a difference that makes...
Since we have no AWD dyno's here in AZ (that I know of), I don't know the true power of the kit... My hope and guess is somewhere around 300hp, but I really don't know... When I take it to the drag strip in the next few weeks I think we will have a better idea of what kind of power it makes.. To make the kit complete, I felt the strong urge to do it right. I had to purchase the DynaBat battery, the lightened flywheel, the Chalak 1/2 dog box gears along with the Quaife front diff and Subaru 12G center diff, Vishnu Performance Fuel Rails, Stromung custom 3" exhaust... I would strongly suggest against ever trying to run more than 7psi without Engine Management. That is a recipe for disaster... |

just to be sure, by engine management you mean something along the lines of a TEC-2 of sorts...?

so just a tec II is good enough if running full boost?
