i love my kit. best run so far of 13.98 with a 2.3sec 60ft (no traction). 222WHP at 6.5PSI. i think these are incredible numbers but i want more. getting a new STRONGER 1G DSM BOV and cranking the boost back up to 10PSI. the motor will hold it but the 2G BOV wont for long unfortunately. be prepared for some traction issues right from startup
not that thats a bad thing. LOL
send me an email and ill give you a quote on the kit from the shop i work for.

Thanks for your input, 13.98 thats good only pushing 6.5 psi. Is that what your car dyno'd at was 222 whp, i would be happy with just that. But those are good numbers...
Anyone else have any comments, i want to get as many peoples opion as i can before i go off and get a kit...

update: car went 13.90 at almost 101 today on 8PSI
i finally got a decent launch and pulled a 2.09 60ft time. if i can get some radials ill be proving those low 13 claims very soon
i posted the dyno sheet on here before but if you cant find it let me know and ill repost it. the car was running at 6.5 PSI with a spike to 7.9 at like 48-4900 and then came back to 6.8 or so. it made the highest numbers at the 6.8 though. not the 7.9.
anyone wanna buy julius some shoes? please???????? i cant afford to buy her shoes currently

oh and 4 times today i trapped at 104 or better. only one time could i get the 13.96 to back it up due to massive wheelspin and/or wheelhop.
watching the other cars at the track trapping those speeds they were running 13.2-13.4 so i know the car has it in it. its all my launches now.

Thats good to hear, if you could just get better traction im sure they will be better. yea if you could post thos dyno sheets that would be great so i can see what it did on the dyno. Now is all this on stock internals? Also how much boost can the stock eco handle, just curious....
Anyone else out there with the hahn turbo kit.... come on im sure there is post some opinons for me...

anyone else out there with some comments oh the HRC turbo kit? all coments are welcom.
Hypsy could up post some pics of your install and dyno sometime that would be great...

I'm happy with the kit was easy to install and
loved the performance.
installing mine tomarrow after work. hoping to have it done for memorial day.
I just got mine in the other day, I am very happy with it so far. For some reason I am only hitting 5 psi though, I think it might be my exhaust holding it back....not sure though, but overall a great kit!
we had a few fuel issues to work through at this point. now looks much cleaner.
i posted the install pics i did take in another thread recently. search and youll find them.

Well thats good to know that all of you are happy with your kit. For all the others who posted if you could post some numbers when you get it dynoed or what not that would be great. I just would like to see the differences in everyones numbers...
Hypsy Those are great numbers, what psi are you running 8 or 10? i know the other post you left said you were gonna run at ten...
2004 Turbo cavalier 11PSI and blown!
i run the track with the dual stage set to 7 and 10. i launch at 7 because i cant get traction as it is. everyday driving i crank the boost as low as it will go...about 6PSI

You lower the boost for daily driving? I run mine around 10-11 all day everyday.
yeah because i have a lot of moron modifiers around here and i have a lead foot when i here those bees buzzing. figure if i lower the boost it lowers the rate of acceleration which will give me time to realize they aint worth it
i used to have it at 8PSI daily though.

Nah, the faster the car is, the shorter the race lasts, so the less chance of getting into trouble

im happy with it but you will always want more. i like the super 16 g it came with. it has a great power band. the fuel pump is good to 500 hp, the turbo is good for 400hp. and i do know they will go at least 20 psi.
TURBO KIT...$4,000
RUNNING 20 PSI...ANOTHER $2,000

yea i hear the super 16g is pretty good. I see alot of you run different psi on the eco. How much can the eco handle stock, i might ask... i hear it can handle around 10 psi. But i know that the eco with stock internals can handle up to 250 horses.
Its good to hear that all of you are happy with the turbo... so far im leaning on getting it here in the next 2 weeks hopfully... Did all of you get the kit throu hahn or did you go through a shop? And what prices did you get the kit at?
Thanks

Oh yea, hypsy did you get your kit installed at Hahns themselve? i think i read one of your post that, thats where you got it installed and tuned at? If you did how much did they charge you?
2004 Turbo cavalier 11PSI and blown!
i got mine thru rk sport for 3,499.00. im not sure if they still sell them or not.

alright ill send you an email. How long did it take you to do the install? Was if fairly easy at all?
Does it come with a fuel managment thing, like an FMU.
2004 Turbo cavalier 11PSI and blown!
took about 80 man hours over a 3 day period. there were a few hard parts but if you have automotive knowledge and tools you should be able to do it.
and yes it has a BEGI FMU

It only took 3 days, thats not bad. You think you could send me a link to where you posted pics of your install i have searched, and couldn't find anything.
