Also what are fmic, tb, intake, w/i?
Sorry >.<

 

there's a small pipe that attaches the exhaust to the turbo, it's called the o2 housing because the upstream o2 sensor sits in it. it's basically a curved pipe, about a foot long. http://www.eliteautosport.net/sragpbigtuo2.html

fmic - front mount intercooler
tb - throttle body
w/i - water injection
intake.....it's an intake? air intake

 

lmao. Didn't mean to put intake, I just copied and pasted that line of your post, thanks.
I'm also thinking boost controler from the start so i can hold off on the kit a little while longer, with intake, bc, and exhaust i should be in the higher 200's? Kinda sorta? haha.
But does the o2 housing have anything to do with blow-off valves or anything? I thought I heard something of the sort.
Sorry if i'm making myself look like a jack @$$ but i'm kinda new to this.

 

no it doesn't bov's are installed on the cold side ic pipe. there is one turbo kit that has it isntalled on the charge pipe, but that's rare. o2 housings are just overall a pain lol.

a bc is a good idea. since you're ultimate plan is to go big turbo you really should think about an electric one. you get consider something like a profec spec b or the turbo xs fcbc. with the turbo xs it's also a fuel controller, which you'll need eventually, but it's a nice unit but it will cost you. last i saw they were going for $550ish.

 

Yeah, that sounds good to me.
And I will be looking that up, thanks.
And i read through it a couple of times on the turbo kit I posted up there ^^^^^ from Treadstone/Turbonetics and it includes the o2 housing.

 

And do you anything about passing inspection with an open dump tube?
I'm in Chicago btw.

 

perhaps keep an exhaust on it with a cutout. either electric or plate held on with a couple wing nuts. street = exhaust system. strip = open dump

 

Well it's mainly for street and the ocassional track days. I heard you can get it somehow so that the driver is in control of when it dumps? Or something of the sort? And I was actually looking into the Mopar/Borla exhaust system so I would just need to take it to like an exhaust shop and have them weld the dump tube to the exhaust?

 

i believe its needswing electric cutout, so you can open the dump with the flip of a switch

 

I talked to a friend who will graduate UTI soon, which is an automotive school, and he said if I didn't want to put the dump tube I didn't have to so I wouldn't have to deal with closing it, etc. If that's correct I think i'll go with that. And I have another question relating exhaust, I am interested in the Borla/Mopar exhaust, do they come with a catalytic converter or do they install into your downpipe? Because I read it is illegal to not have a cat. converter...
