Back to the main topic: if you boost this engine, be prepared to replace it before you've clocked 50k miles FI.
I just passed 18,000 miles with the supercharger; as of yesterday my car has more supercharged miles than NA miles, and it's still running strong.

I think this engine's a lot stronger than some people give it credit for. I'm pretty confident I can go another 32,000 miles without breaking it, even with 13 lbs of boost. I'll get back to you in a couple of years

please guys, just focus on the topic. we are here in the club to help each other, not to put anyone down. everybody has different believes and different experiences, let it be, take it for yourself, and do research about other people experience and make it as your option. it's simple.

o well, about EMS, it's true that the software for tuning will be out soon, but it will be soon, we don't know now that he needs the tuning with his turbo set up. i read a lot of thread toward Major HP, they all have custom turbo built and they use AP, and they are fine.
it's also up to the owner, what he wants to go with....he has options, at least we all give him little paths, now it's his decision to make it, and what ever he will think is convenient.

they are obsulete, but sometimes the old school always work good, and when it's added with teh newer system , it always work better.
think if we have better radiator + mazmart water pump + turning fan earlier + AI...
after these all, do you think it will be worse than only AI???? it's expensive, but as people say:"if you don't have extra money to play with, don't go turbo, save it for your school or your life"....
As Ignition, we are still thinking about it, and we don't have anybody's product to commit with yet, but we are working on it
