TSI Turbo Package!!!, Turbo package for 7AFE Celica ST 94-97 Options

[zebt66]

Hey guys i checked out this TSI turbo package, it has every thing u need for the turbo, the wiring intercooler and timer and downpipe...but i m thinking abut getting this but not sure if it is good, cuz i m not experienced in turbos!!!

Just search for "TSI Extreme Package Turbo" In google.

[macavely]

isn't the the kit made for the corolla? well if it was me i would get it but thats just me.. but you will have to have a custom downpipe

[zebt66]

yeah but, i cancutomize the downpipe thts not a big deal...but its ifor corolla 7AFE engine kit, which can fit celica motor too!

[macavely]

if you have the funds for that kit get it.. that was one of the options i considered back in my ST days.. i don't think anyone on the site has that kit.. would love to see someone with it..

[zebt66]

ok probably i will get it in July...when i get my Birthday Cash...yo do u guys have ani idea how much will it cost to get a turbo installed!!!

[macavely]

[zebt66]

lol install it myself...for the first time and mess it up haha!!!

[hyp3rk1d]

Go Custom

[95STHATCH]

It cost 2800 dollars.

[zebt66]

Yep it does....but see u get everything with it, i don;t have to go looking around for stuff.

[95STHATCH]

I'm pretty sure there is another kit for the corolla that was 1000 dollars cheaper than that kit. http://www.turbo-kits.com/corolla_turbo_kits.html Actually I think they are the exact same kits. Here is a different seller as well http://www.wcturbo.com/t-sup-chargers.html

yeah dude install it yourself.....round how much roughly is a custom downpipe??

[fastgt]

imo half the fun is searching for parts 1/4 is installing 1/4 is beating the crap out of a civic(then slowing down to see the stupid look on his face)

[zipstrips]

go custom, that kit isnt worth your time or money

[FallenHero]

you could peace that kit together with better parts for about a grand cheaper.

[playr158]

some one should source out parts for a 7afTe and then post the part name, price and link

[FallenHero]

http://mdweiss.ods.org/7afte.htm Thanks to 97SCcelica. I've posted that link a million times.

[zebt66]

from others turbo projects the tranny has never been a problem, infact most say the turbo likes the auto.

[politicsareevil]

I too am getting the TSI extreme package. Custom sounds great but right now I say get it in all one deal. The thing is Horsepower is like tatoos once you get a little you want more. Thats cutomization for you though. What Im doing is buying the extreme kit. When I get used to that power, upgrade some stuff. No use going full power on your engine right off the bat. You will get bored of the power and look for other alternitives and never would have appreciated the stuff you did with the kit. i am about 2 weeks away from buying the TSI extreme kit. Ive been saving up for some time. I'll post results and pictures once I get it.

[zebt66]

i guess the turbo will work good with the Auto!!! good for crusiing and highways.

[FallenHero]

well, the parts of the auto tranny are stronger because they are larger.

[Drocay]

and have the advantage that u don't lose boost when it shifts.

[zebt66]

lol yeah!!! hey is it better to get a TS turbo package with teh intercooler or without.... cuz without intercooler is cheaper!!!

[FallenHero]

you will get better longer lasting power with it.

[97sccelica]

my celica was auto and turbo.

it was great, boost would actually go up between shifts.

depending on when i gave it gas, sometimes the wheels would just spin shifting into second.

as for whether to get the IC, GET IT

and if this kit doesnt have a fuel pump, GET IT.

[politicsareevil]

Trust me dude I've done waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much research on these kits, DO NOT GET THE SUPERIOR PACKAGE, ONLY GET THE UPGRADED EXTREME PACKAGE. The extreme package not only gives you the intercooler but it gives you a bigger turbo, the turbo is also a ball bearing turbo with does two things. Instead of allowing the shaft to sit in oil and float (which in time COULD make way for Shaft play BAD) this turbos ball bearings help it keep in the same place and also think about this. If you spin something in water it can slow down pretty fast, yet if you spin something on ball bearings is keeps speeds pretty much the same, you will not lose psi like a normal turbo would. and also, you get injectors turbo timer and all that good stuff. I say spend your money on a better kit. think about it if your celica is running like lets say 130hp, then the superior package will put you at 30 % more with is 1/3 more hp which would be around 40 extra which puts you at 170hp. It is a great gain but the extreme package gives you 50% which is 65 extra hp which would be about 195 to 200hp depending on boost levels. Hypothetically you could run the boost up to get you to the same levels as the extreme but why do that when you could run the levels on the extreme way higher. Hope my words help a little.

[zebt66]

Thanxs man now i get it...i have to start collecting money for it!!!

[politicsareevil]

How much you got saved up right now? I have $1600 saved up right now, but then again I am putting $200 a WEEK towards the kit. $200 might not be much but hey I gots my bills to pay to ya know. And hey I'm only 18 and in college.

[CupCrazy38]

This might be something I could go with too. But I'll wait to let yinz test it first

I'll be looking forward to reviews...

[zebt66]

Lol my birthday is on 27th July....and i m suppose to get 600$ from my mom and abut 1000 from my dad...thts 1600....and then my uncle who is in miami i wish he gives me some!!! but 9i know tht i will get it before or on 27th july. first i was getting a bodykit and a greddy exhaust but changed my mind to performance!!!

[politicsareevil]

OMG DO NOT GO SHOW BEFORE GO!!!!!!!!!!!! lol, look at my car(I will post bigger pics of my car soon. My avatar is the only pic I had on my computer right now. But hey you'll get the gist from it.) and you'll see why I NEED the turbo kit. Lol I know my car is not spectacular, but I screwed up by making it look fast, now everyone tries to race me and smokes me. Put some power behind the car with the extreme kit then go show. Lol thats how I'm gonna do it from now on.

[politicsareevil]
