XS Turbokit for EK installation diary - Step by Step

[RedVTi]

when i re did the engine i had to replace an engine mount and both cv's. but that was more fatigue in the car then anything to do with the engine. But as far as damaging goes. the turbo had completely seized from it which put oil all through the intercooler piped into the front mount, so i ditched that front mount. blow off valve was the same oil all through it. Also rendered the pod useless when the oil going into the turbo ****ed the seals and went all sprayed all over the intake. It was abit of a mess. Like i said thats why i re did it all

Yeah, that's sounds a mess but at least you fixed it all.

But i really want know is that if anything else fail due to extra stress and constant abuse from the turbo.

What clutch did you use?

I used an excedy sports tuff clutch. clutch and drive shafts would be the ones to watch for, ur not putting out massive power so it shouldnt be too much of a problem

What power would f**k the drive shafts?

I'm running an Extreme clutch rated to 250kw so that's no problems

What power are you making?

[Aza]

also depends how harsh ur power delivery is how much stress it will put on the drivetrain

but from what i can gather off other people around 200kw's it can start to be a problem, so u shouldnt have anything to worry about.

Still looking for a good reason.

Let's just say the car deserves better attention than what I am willing to give.
There is something else raising my heart beat more than boost.

I have only driven less than 2000km since I owned it. It still have plenty of potential.

how much KWs does it give with the turbo kit installed?

[Bludger]

Just want to show you the items which i have included in my cost summary. They are not installed yet. Will do it the same time when I installed the other sponsored items.

Front strut brace and lower 4 points bar

that 4 point brace is total rubbish.

I installed one on my dc2r.
Low and behold, one day i look under the car to find that it was totally snapped in half. I couldn't even remember hitting anything.
You yourself can confirm that it is vrey cheap looking, light and flimsy.

just my 2cents
thanks
