I'm considering getting it someday for my 05, but I don't think I drive enough right now to get my money's worth out of it.
thanks ill look into that...

and i have no intention of making this a race car...its pretty quick now but a little bit more "pep" would be nice... some more mid range power so i dont always have to downshift would be great.

Full race kit doesnt turn your car into a race car its just a very solid turbo kit, here is a link to it
http://www.full-race.com/catalog/pro...oducts_id=1718
that manifold is pure sex

Now InlinePro makes another kit which is alot cheaper. about 3400 or so, theres is also a very solid kit, either of these you can easily get 350 to 400 on the stock motor.

i have experienced a small problem with the tranny.... i know all about the grinds and what not but when i down shifted from 6th to 4th on the highway doing about 80 (about 3700 rpm in 6th) after the shift was completed the tranny made a banging noise...i know that cant be good and its still warrantied for 3 more years.

Sorry, but your friends are idiots. I know people who have gotten 20+ hp from just the reflash.

so your saying its worth it?

i have the AEM v2 intake and decent exhaust...

im planning on going with all royal purple oil (engine and tranny)

the car is pretty quick the way it sits but i want it a little be quicker...

the reflash is like 500$ and dont you have to mail them your ecu? that means i wont have a car to drive for a day or two (probably longer)

Royal purple is a waste. Buy a separate ECU.

You don't need Royal Purple. Most people will never push their car hard enough to benefit from Royal Purple.

I have Royal Purple in the MR2, but that's because it's fairly cheap to buy here on base.


mr22na...buy my MR2.
