for 400whp or an autox setup? a guy i know has an VIII with a stock IX turbo (though he runs e85) and is just as fast as my car or faster (i have a lot more done). autox rewards cars that are responsive and have a nice torque curve. it's hard to have that and 400whp on 91oct. i hate our gas

 

well I do know some areas that have 103octane. but its not a must have but a prefer on the autocross,

 

well then I should be fine for a daily. Now who can I send my tranny to here in california? stock rebuild

 

i'm with you on the pump gas. i have an e85 pump in my town, but that doesn't help me at track events and it's too much power for AX.
FWIW i have a MAP ef2.5 and a mild cam. the car is a IX and makes 350 on 91oct. it's plenty enough power for AX and is very responsive.
if i were super serious about AX, i'd go back to a IX turbo with bolt-ons and good suspension. just my opinion, though.
do you have access to other drivers with Evos so you can ride along and see how their builds work for them?

for transmission work, most people use Jack's or Shep. you can google either. both really seem to know what they are doing judging by the loyalty of their customers.

 

To add, first time ever on the track, we finished 4th overall in a ~80whp VW. In the rain. Auto-x is 85% driver, 10% tires, and 5% everything else, IMNSHO.

 

Shep Trans and get the ultimate ratio 5 speed rebuild

 

true. one of the fastest guys at our local AX drives a stock IX SE with some bolt-ons in STU. i've driven my friend's '98 Neon R/T (GS, i believe) and beat a lot of "faster" cars.

the courses aren't big and open enough for high-hp cars to have an advantage. you gotta be able to drive decent.

 

soooo I decided to buy a new turbo been looking at the fp green red or black. Whats the hp rating for these. Anyone has any input on these turbo. These fall in the $1k range, Want to buy and bolt on.

You will need a down pipe and oil feed line as well. Plan on at least 1600.

 

They have a kit for $348
