How on earth are you holding that car while letting the turbo spool that much (5 psi)? The best I can do with mine is about 2500 RPM (0 boost/vac). C'mon, man, us automatics need the secret! And don't tell me it's ancient and chinese!
Just smash the brakes down hard and floor the gas pedal, simple as that. I can sit at a stop light all day long break torqued and launch at full boost at 2,500 rpm. <br>

like skills said is kinda how it goes as far as launching at 5 psi. You can actually see that I am rolling forward a bit from my brakes being old. Now that I put on brand new everything as far as brakes go, I can hold it at a complete stop and launch it at 5lbs..
The reason for my turbo spooling quickly like that is actually in the design of my piping and the sizes used. That is part of the reason. The other one is a modified dual port wastegate actuator and a little modding to the internal wastegate swingvalve assembly.
The bad thing about that is when I am driving above certain speeds on the highway. There is no possible way to stay out of boost. It is basically designed for a good quick launch and the turbo is a good size so it still holds power throughout the rpm range.
The guys who use those huge turbo's on here don't see boost until higher rpm's but the amount of cfm that those big a ss fuqers flow makes up for it. I designed it for quick spool to make up for being auto.
My dad's car is balls out fast. But he has no traction at all. That was before he had the flame thrower ignition system on there. Since then I don't know if I can beat him. That thing is much much faster now. I will race him again once I get my car back together. due to a slight engine fire due to a blown power steering line that sprayed on my red hot manifold.

Thanks for the info. I must not be pressing hard enough on the brakes, because once I get to atmospheric my brakes won't hold. Maybe it's just the mAdTyTe low-end torque of the almighty 2200 hehe.
Guess what I'm going to be trying on my way home from work tonight?

thats awesome, thats what i decided i wanna do now, im jus kinda gettin tired of tryin to keep it lookin nice, too many things happen and i also wanna go fast. How long did it take for you to get that kti together and what kinda gains you think your gettin? i mean i would love to do something like that and i will be able to this spring. <br>
Ya, its a cavalier, whats that?....a suzuki?
If I were u, buy used kits that Exploited Racing, Cavalier Connection, Jonny Mack, or Hanh because you don't want to go through all the hassle of designing, cutting, welding, testing, and driinking (beer). All there's is to an used kit will only be the turbocharger itself. If you can one that's around $1200-$1500 intercooled, get it and just spend another 300 to 400 for a new turbo if the turbo that comes the purchase is bad. <br>
Hey men
Would you post pics of your exhaust manifold and downpipe.?
I'm building mine and need some ideas.
great vids man
gotta love the CRX kill.. damn those hondas sound stupid, but you can hear your turbo spooling above the crap.
good work, I can't wait for next year myself.
I will post pics of the custom manifold and downpipe for ya , just give me a moment to snap a couple of pics... <br>
