03 redfire going turbo

Overall first impressions. What a waste of money. If it didn't sound so god damn cool I would regret it 100% instead of just 95%

Why do you say this?

Are you missing the torque of the blower? get a fuel system on that car and up the boost. I just finished up my single turbo cobra, and love the way it pulls and keeps pulling. A little bit of meth and no heat soak.

It actually made more tq than the blower lol but yea I miss the instant tq
It is an absolute monster on the highway though

578 on 12PSI?! That right there should tell you that you are way ahead of the blower. Make the fuel changes and crank that boost up. It isnt as much fun from light to light but it more than makes up for it on the highway

What size downpipe are you running?

cyclegrip · Jun 9, 2015

3", gonna step it up to 4" probably

Mystic03 · Jun 9, 2015

4 is massive! be prepared to move a bunch of shit around...i had to step down to a 3" to retain most of my stock parts

Ya, the hwy pulls alone make it an outright blast for me to drive, even in town if I let it eat in second it blows the tires off, I got bored of the roots/twin screw feeling pretty quickly it hits hard then just flat lines in my opinion, but too each there own. Crank up that boost :beer:
