yeah, i know what its capable of doing with more boost, but i'm happy with the low boost for know or at least till I have money saved up for the motor build.
Oh your going to build the motor, thats cool. Im not saying u should put more power out, i understand your want of relability, im just saying your spent sooo much more money then u had too. But u will use it later, thats cool.
I run a stock APS twin turbo kit, with cats and APS exhaust. Sooo reliable. Drives like stock. I understand, u can always chase a few more HP but i rather beat the crap out of a stock kit and feel safe doing so. Torque is what kills rods, keep it boosting a little late (cats, small downpipe) and its sweet.
Congrats on the build! Looks like a fun, reliable combination! How is the drivability? I got mine on today, and I honestly can't tell the difference between the ProEFI and the stock ECU, other than more throttle response, and it feels better up top. Then again, my car is still otherwise stock!
NO, mrc has a thread showing their findings on the kit from their first install.
+1 They heatwrapped the pipes and i have a turbo blanket as well. That area is cool until it sits still and the heat has a chance to start radiating and soaking into other things...but that is a 5-10 minute process. Otherwise the intake pipe and whole area around the turbo is almost ambient temp.

the drivability has been great, i have had no issues with the ProEFI, it idles find. the throttles response like you said feels great.

in regards to the temp. I would recommend coating the exhaust housing and the up pipes, and the down pipes, it costs extra but well worth it, and the engine bay looks cleaner.
