Just curious if anyone with the turbo kit has run the can-am down the quarter mile. I know stock 13.5 just wondering how the extra hp/tq plays into actual performance.

I'm more of a twistys kinda guy but doc should know

 

[Bulldogger]

Altonk,
Did you install the kit yourself or send it out? How has the mileage been since install. Thanks

 

[altonk]

I put it on myself, wasn't to bad, the airbox was a pita due tight spacing though
I get about mid twenties for mileage but its not an issue for me

Airbox or intercooler? Intercooler right, air filter is on front of turbo isnt it of did they change the design.

 

[altonk]

The airbox on the throttle body

The intercooler is underneath

Okay got it. I would have thought they would have had a rubber style boot or smaller fitting piece for up there.:shocked:

would you consider doing this to a daily driver? how about rain is that a problem? :2thumbs: I am interested in doing this upgrade. :chat:

 

[altonk]

Nope a metal box
Getting those long bolts through the box and threaded into the throttle body was tedious

I changed the muffler mount and the air filter. I used a tbolt clamp on the air filter since someone had one fall off

 

[altonk]

Mine is a daily driver
I drove it in whatever weather DC had to offer from summer downpours to 20 degree days as long as there wasn't too much ice/ snow on the road
I'm in eastern NC so I hope I don't need the heated jacket as much

It can be done for a daily driver without issues. Only really boosting when into the throttle other then that it has a by-pass valve. I don't think water would be an issue unless maybe you slightly submerge the filter area??

 

[altonk]

I've driven through alot of standing H2O with no problems
My only issue has been leaking exhaust Y gaskets but I replaced them with the Honda ones and some permatex

Excellent... Excellent!!

is there reliability issues with the turbo? This is starting to look like I could really do it. I drive daily so if I need to replace the clutch or valves or something I may look at going an other way. :dontknow:

Around 10 sec on the 1/4 mile (did documented 9.757 1/200 on Salt Flats in 2010; engine and clutch need to be in 100% working order; cover for the air filter in case of heavy rain.
