i know there are a bunch of people dropping out the 1.5L.. there is a favour i need to ask... I'm taking out my turbo, and there's one part i really need to go back to stock.... the stupid Precat.... Does any engine swappers still have their precat? Apparently the Cali cats are different than my canadian one... or else i'd have one.. I really need one bad......

how much is that in US dollars? what else would be needed to make that turbo run properly? i remember before you were thinking of parting it out, have you sold any of the parts? is the turbo still on the engine?

no dyno.. it just needs like 3 hours on a dyno and you'd be fine.... i only had questions about the location of the MAF, and i didn't know if i'm running lean or rich... The kit itself is great... i just didn't take the time or put up the fuss to have it completed perfectly..98 Protege SE

Things like gauges, (fuel pressure/boost/egt)
He also needs a device for more precise fuel tuning, such as a greddy emanage.
And lastly an intercooler. Once you have all that, you'll be set.
From there its just time spent on a dyno and then you're done.
