Turbo install in a few weeks!

I need some advice, should I let my boy do the install at his shop that's like 15 mins from house or extreme boost. Really I haven't seen XB turbo work, I have seen my boy Matt work on some cars but not too much. If I go local I can stop by my boys house an get it tuned until its right if I go to orlando its kind of a one shot deal and can only go back when I have more money if I need to tune again. Does anyone know about XB work? Not to make XB look bad if their reading, just need more info especially bbecause my install date is quickly approaching. I may need to ask both shops why their turbo is better. Frank is going to be in hollywood, fl in about a week to visit his brothers shop down here, I think the best thing to do is meet with him and get into a detailed conversation as to what to expect, face to face before going up there will allow me to know them as a shop and person. This way everything is agreed upon before just showing up in orlando expecting the best...

 

to be realistic I would expect maybe 210hp to 225hp. I have heard someone has boosted the GTS manual to 300hp for a little while. I won't say who but our CVT is not the same as the manual. I would rather wait until internals are made for our cars before testing anything above that. Plus our CvT won't be cheap to repair.

 

I did the math, I am going to let Extreme Boost do my turbo. I rather go with them who are reputable and have worked on the EVO on a daily basis. Plus they own one, who would be better? I have spoken to Frank and we have gotten into some details about the turbo, but he is pretty busy at the shop. I am going to plan an install date but I am kind of waiting for Franks word. He says he couldn't do it today even if I have the money thats how busy they are. So I suspect the install will be sometime mid November which is better for me.

I need to buy that trans cooler very soon...

 

We were planing to flash my ECU, but I decided not to because I want to piggy back my ECU in case of warranty. The program is not a major concern, this is for large distribution only ( i think) but because I am going down there he will be able to work on my car locally and tune it himself. I think that answers the question, if that wasn't clear then let me know, this is what I think from what Frank mentioned. A large distribution of the tune will require pre-tuned settings (sort of speak) for everyone, but mines will not matter because it is just me and he can work on mine to my liking. Do not take my word on this, i do not speak for XB in any way. If you have a serious inquiry for a turbo then ask them directly.

So, I spoke to him again yesterday because I was wondering if I should get it all ceramic and polished. I am going to pay an extra $$$ for the polished pipping and ceramic manifold for SHOW and performance.

 

Re:

I plan to boost the car to about 230-250 hp to the wheels, the car will be dyno'd after the tune and I will post the numbers.

 

Forget about warranty, this doesn't matter as much anymore. I am interested in making my car more faster and use it for street and show. I will drive it but not as much as before. I plan to keep the miles low and continue to work on it. We already have the EVO motor, I might change the tranny far in the future who knows, but for now my plans aren't to do anything other than install a turbo and continue with the cosmetics like hood etc... Plus its not like I am a kid, i passed that stage years ago. I know how to take care of my belongings in which I pay for. The reason I am not worried is because I have enough funds for my project.

Everyone is so skeptical because they are scared and wont risk anything for a little fun, ok so what if the tranny blows, guess what buy a new one. Some people on here don't even own their car, I do. I already have the money for the turbo and install thats not a question, I am waiting for Frank to move to his new building where he will have time and space to work on my car. Once its dyno'd everyone will be cheering :wav: Whoever is N/A can see me waving from my rear view mirror... :wave: me and the EVO's will be at the bar doing this ccasion5: then you can salute the Lancer king :salute: :faroah:

 

That's true, I think I saw it on their website or somewhere else, I highly doubt extreme boost wants to use parts from a competitor, how would that look? Extreme boost is offering the turbo at a very reasonable price, this beats the extra $1,000+.
