Single Turbo Shopping List

14psi about .95bar
16psi about 1.1bar

this bar stuff and psi confuses the hell out of me

On my boost gauge it goes 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 so can I assume thats in bar ?

[20B_boy]

bar or kg2...roughly the same..

Hi Dave,

Yep that sounds like a 2 bar gauge, for conversions I recommend a little utility that someone originally recommended here or on FDUK, Convert from //www.joshmadison.com/software

well my car has very recently been mapped and set up, it is now boosting to 1.0, 1.1 on the gauge at full boost, can I assume this is too high with stock intercooler and fueling ?

Ermm.. is their a MAC version of that utility!!

I think I\'ll go for an Apexi intake then!! Any suggestions of a good place to purchase?

Cheers

Dave,

I\'d talk to your tuner, presumably injector duty is still OK?  I had my boost controller setup for two settings 0.7 or 0.8 bar, economy :confused: or power

Geff sold his last apexi kit on saturday

Buy the GT-spec twin turbo intercooler kit and you get the intake kit with hard pipes for \'free\'

2 birds/1 stone...and only £1180 :rollin

If I did, I take it the bits would be fine when I move up to a single.

Does it include a heat shield for the intake?

The hard pipes are for the intercooler left and right plus another for the intake?

Apexi US doesn\'t seem to give much detail.

Just found the manuals, there seems to be a single turbo version aswell!

Other than me comparing all the bits included in each - does anyone know the difference?

And if I install this to my car will it still run okay on fuelling etc? I got the PFC and full decat/straight thru with alum AST.

Cheers

Who\'s got one of these kits eh? £500??

Is the box very large and heavy? As I may consider ordering from Japan or the US.

Cheers

Ah I see now! Difference is the single turo version hasn\'t got all the hard pipes or the intakes.

But the other bits are the same.

Talking to your self mate?

Differences:

TT kit includes a hard piped version of the Apexi Power intake kit with it (designed to fit the stock turbo intakes once the GT intercooler is in place). TT kit has all (hard) pipes to connect turbos to throttle body. No shielding for intakes but I/C does a very good job

The Single kit comes without the intakes (as they dont fit, dur!) and without any piping from the compressor housing outlet - you have to make your own piping from the turbo outlet to the inlet of the I/C as  there are too many different turbo configurations to supply a one-size-fits-all pipe.

When u go single turbo, you can sell the power intake kit to some one with twins. Then u just buy a filter for the turbo and get the installer to TIG up some piping to fill the gap between turbo outlet and i/c inlet.

You may be marginal on fuel, quick check with a WBo2 to be safe after install. Best to get it tuned to make most of the bits any ways I guess.

Finally, yes - the boxes are fairly big and quite heavy; I\'d guess about 4 and a 1/2 ft long by 2ft square and heavy enough that u struggle with it on your own. Also has vicious staples holding it together which hurt when u use it to pierce the flap of skin between your thumb and finger - as Dave at TV MOT found out when we took his out of my FC, cried like a baby

Capiche(sp?)?

[Initial-D]

Aha! All is clear, methinks I\'ll probably go for one.

Yep I love chatting away to myself!;)

Whos the cheapest to purchase from - anyone??

Cheers
