Good news is my ATS manifold, 370's, valet switch and downpipe showed up yesterday.

Bad news is my KSB-1-2 is still waiting on a compressor cover and probably won't ship til next week


Do I wait for everything to show up, or do I go ahead and install everything but the turbo and downpipe?

I'm thinking the 370's will make LOTS of heat with a stock HX35


This is killing me....I can't update my sig until the stuff is in and running........

 

I would wait - easier said than done!

You will have less work to do if you install it all at once.

WAIT!!!! The 370's are gonna cook your turbo very fast.

 

I ran 370s for a long time with my stock 35. The EGTs werent too bad as long as you kept an eye on em. I think I saw 1300 a few times (stock plate slid). I would say, if you just CANT wait, go ahead and install the 370s. I would not go through all the trouble of putting the ATS on without the turbo there ready to go though . That way you dont have to pull the turbo off an extra time ( those 4 bolts can be a pain sometimes).
Good luck and let us know how it all turns out. Im sure you will be all after you get done.

Great news, the turbo finally shipped today. Should be here by Friday. I'll have the wrenches turning before the UPS truck clears the driveway.

ATS manifold is in. Cool down time is about 2/3 quicker after a hard run. So far, the 370's don't smoke as bad as I thought they would, but they do darken the sky if I stand on it with little or no boost. Getting dizzy from keeping one eye on the road and the other on the pyro.

Managed 42 lbs of boost on the stock HX35, got off the pedal when I hit just over 1500*.

Set up for timing on Saturday.....
