I would like to see pics. of this setup and dyno. #'s if you have it dynoed. I would get that thing on a wideband pronto so you can figure out how it is running before you really get on it.
Running over 7mo's now with not one problem. Every once in a while I think I hear something. But I think thats me waiting for something to happen. The car still runs great, and have not had one problem.
Scratch that. I put the intercooler piping too close to the AC lines and popped a hole in it. By-by Ac, till I patched it.

Reddragon-T,
Thanks very much for taking the time to write up your install posts. Maybe my 4WD B12 wagon will be turbocharged after all.
Yea, you can go with the Stage 1 turbo for now, but you have to win about 42 more races before you can upgrade to Stage 2
ok, so it's not NFSU. You really need to know your stuff before you jus put in a turbo, there are plenty of "universal" turbo kits out there, but if you don't know crap about turbos, then there's no way you're going to successfully install a turbo on your car.
You boosted without any fuel management (ecu, injectors) and your engine didn't blow???????? Are you pushing more than 1 psi?
Reddragon-T:
You should pull your plugs and see what they look like. You'd be able to see how well the stock fuel system is taking the turbo. My bet is they are nice and frosty...
You should also get some 1/4 mile and 0-60 times. Those are cheap to do, and you could give us some good estimates for free.
Everyone here would love to see a dyno also. (I'm sure the company that makes the turbo would love to see one too.)

What do you guys think about this setup? Its still TSI,but it has an "injector interface block and injectors." It's the "extreme" kit with the intercooler and all.

The fact that they even market a turbo kit without injectors or ecu (a setup that would most likely blow up your motor in a hurry) makes me feel like anything they sell is suspect. Personally, I'd stay away from anything they sell. For the price of the kit (over 2500) you'd be better off taking the time to intelligently piece together a kit yourself. It can be done for less than the Hotshot kit. Not nearly as well but it can be done.

yeah dude, turbos by themselves are pretty cheap, get everything piece by piece, and that should take you somewhere. trust me, my friends don't go for complete kits, and their cars are uber sick. granted none of them have 200sx's but, you can go really far i you make your own, MIX n' MATCH BABY

The clutch was a new standard heavy duty and wasnt well broke in with only 3k miles on it. Since then I have put 5k miles on the clutch and turbo together and no slipping. It did have a little slip at first but has not slipped in a while. Maybe because I went to aluminum wheel instead of crappy steel after markets.

Who told you you had to have all that? Its a very small turbo, pushing 6psi, does not need a new ecu, since original ecu is setup to handle the performance. Injector are more bang for the buck gives you better fuel air mixture=more power, not a necessity. Everything you do is pretty much this way. You dont need all the extra's they are just=more horsepower when added. When you break a certain barrier then you have to start adding one mod ie.-Ecu to compensate for the last few mods. Bigger injectors, and larger maf=larger air fuel mixtures that the old ecu cannot compensate for, so then you need to add a box or get your ecu tuned. Simple as that. But just adding 270 injectors wont put you in that category. You can run fine with a stock ecu on 270 injectors with a Sr20 Maf on a Ga16de.

Thats wrong a GA16 car will not run on an sr20 MAF
