I know most guys on here put in a 3rd gen 3s. I was thinking about putting on a 86-89 3sgte with a front mount and a boost controller and running like 12psi. And just hving that as a daily. Wondering what you guys think, and maybe could give me good trustworthy websites that have them I found one for 975$ shipped to my door.
I honestly just like the sound of the BOV. That's all I want. And maybe 220hp or something isn't really much to ask for. But I've heard good and bad things from tiger Japanese so I'm skeptical about it. And I want to make sure I have ecu and wiring ext. This post has been edited by JuMPiiN: Jun 8, 2010 - 5:12 PM |

You will be looking for unexpected situations. like a bolt here, nut there, wiring, tape, everythng adds up quickly. wiring is just 400 if you have somebody handle it. Do your analysis very good. You are also putting and older engine in a newer car. Too bad you are too far away. But if you decide let me know. -------------------- Learned a lot in 10 years...

If you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in 2grfe Swapped... Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here...
