TurboIS--- I am flying out from PA in a few weeks and would like to meet up to check out your IS..... also is ther any way you can post some pics of your rear bumper? is it stock or the Cwest Bumper.. I am not into body kits but I need to find a Front bumper (intercooler)and possibly a body kit to match.. do you know of any good lookin kits besides the Cwest Kit?
Also what problems if any are you having besides the tranny issue.. if you want to take this off forum I understand... I would like to speak to you to talk about all this... I am stoked to get this werk finally done.. after askin so many questions and lookin into so many different companies and peicing actual kits together myself..
thanks Brian

The front bumper is from the C-West kit. You can get the kit from XS Engineering, Or MotoRex. I don't have the number for MotoRex but the XS number is 714-992-4133

I wish I did not need a bumper kit to fit the intercooler.. also I hope I get the Long Tube Header.... ceramic coated and all... lol thanks for all your help

the reason his car is making big power at 13psi is because there still running stock10.5-1 compression.....not healthy on a turbo motor over 10psi....also i dont think the car ever sees 400+ hp on the streets.....turbo is...does the car shift right at over 6psi at wot?.....the tube header helps by maby 20hp or so but like i said before...cracks and leaks are going to be a problem in the future as it cycles through heaing and cooling ...expansion and contraction...also the car is still running stock 330cc injectors with alteres fuel pressure......stresses out the factory squiters....turbo is do you have a fuel pupm upgrade in the car?.....Jeff
