With this setup your current downpipes and bolts ons would work without a hitch. Any other turbo kit we work with will not however

Well we have a couple of ideas. One is to work with Shiv over at Vishnu and see if we can get some proceed maps done. Another we have been working with is reflashing the ECU. We just tested a sample file on my car that was actually a little nicer power wise than the newest JB3 map (1.2) We will see whats going to work the best.

Thank you Carlos! We will do our best to continue to offer you the same service and quality parts as we have in the past

Eric

spill the beans.

Qmax03 · 03-24-2009, 10:09 AM

So the turbos will be FP turbos correct ?

Ive heard bad things abour Forced Performace turbos from suburu guys... they say its a very PEAKY turbo.. along with they go bad alot. Ive read up on some post on FP turbos and thry dont sound like a good GO.

Thats just something ive read about and i know 2 local guys with suburus whose turbos have gone bad.. and the guys over a FP tiried to blame it on the oil lines ? ... regardless i havent heard anything good about those turbos.

What kind of warranty will be given with these ?

I wish I shared your sentiment. I moved here from the east coast 6 months ago and I can't seem to find pizza that I like.

Chicago "pizza" isn't pizza at all, it's just an ungodly amount of bad dough with some sauce and toppings.

Come to New Haven for real pizza, New York has some decent pie as well.

munters · 03-24-2009, 12:27 PM

I would say Italy is the right place.

jpsimon · 03-24-2009, 12:36 PM

The first real pizza as you know it today was created in New haven, been talked about on food network and such. I challenge anyone who doubts it to come here and try it themselves. Goto Pepe's if you want the "original", but in my opinion the best pizza is at Bar.

They've had 'em in Asia for awhile and some US tuners have 'early access'.

The 2.0t has the same basic block as the Evo but different heads, pistons, cooling, & other components. There's a lot of speculation going around on how much boost/power the Genesis 2.0t can withstand.

If it can do 350WHP reliably then it will be a monster in Track config (19" wheels, LSD, 3200#).

Chicago Pizza > NY pizza JP LOL but I might be biased

Chicago Deep dish is just DURTY!!!!

Hmmm in greece, persia and italy they sterted with more or less the same food (just without tomato) in the first century. If new heaven existed before that i agree with you

.
But now back to the topic I think.

of course! We have had it here for almost a week now.

Things are developing more quickly for that car than our beloved N54 though

the fact that its STUPID easy to work on and upgrade helps a GREAT deal.

Not to worry though, as soon as these turbo's get here the Genesis will have to take a back seat
