    Turbo is in Gents! 7A-FTE

    After about 2yrs and $6k, the turbo is finally in and up and running! Talk about sweet. Nice and quiet and then also loud at the same time. My dream finally came true. It runs off the greddy emanange. Many thanks to my friends, Mike, Derrick, Carlos, and John for all the help with the install. And of Course a huge thanks to my Sarah, for putting up with me through it all!

    Well fellas, here it is!

    Fiendish, I'd say. Sweet. Any guestimation as to hp or torque output?

    It's only street tuned for now until he can get it on a Dyno. It does sound nice though.

    It's sitting at about 150whp on 5.5lbs of boost. It's pretty hott. If anyone in the baltimore area or around, wants a ride, just meet up with me and we can go for a spin. i have been racing, gst's and 1.8t's and I have been doing really well so far. One thing I really like is when I smash the gas, I cannot get the wheels to stop braking traction.

    That's hot. I've heard about 5 psi is all the 4afe and 7afe can handle without forged internals. Anyone else heard differently? Just curious how much power we can get out of it.

    you can do that but what type of rods do you need......I thought that you can't use the stock rods with the 4agze pistons......Right correct me if i'm wrong......
