If it is............

Try the link below, it should give you an idea of whats needed.

welcome to the forum turbo guys will be here soon

ok, you're going to need to look into buying an MF2 fuel controller. It will need a second injector, a standard SPI Cinq running a standard ECU just isn't going to cut it.

You're also going to need something to go between the MAP sensor, and the ECU. It'll throw a hissy fit if it senses positive boost.

How old is your engine? If it were me, i'd be taking the head off and fitting a new head gasket.

I'd leave the tuning of it to a pro as well, run it too lean once and bye bye engine.

i have the potentiometer from ebay? would that adjust enough fuel for it to run better? i also bought a power boost valve for the fuel line to maintain pressure.

oh god no

a 20p resistor is no substitue for a stand alone fuel controller and extra injector.

fuel pressure isnt a problem.

whats a potentiometer? not one of them volume knob ripoffs?

so where do i get this second injector and the mk thing? r they a mission 2 fit?

take it to a tuners, and ask them for a quote on fitting it. i emailed autodelta about it when i saw the kit on ebay to ask about the other bits it needs. if i ever get a reply, i'l post it up here for you. They may have replied now, but IS at my uni have decided to cock up the email system so i can't even check them now!

ok, will they supply the bits or do i need them?

depends on the tuners - see what they say.

It *could* be done DIY, but (please don't take this the wrong way) I don't think you know enough to be able to do it.

you never replied to the email from the ebay member that sent you here smokeme will be here soon hes a turbo addict, he got some little box thing that realy works not like the ebay resistor ripoff things.

You will need a Fuel Cut Defender for the map sensor...

I would say it's a lot of work just give the kit to me

Yep. Oil take off and return path for the turbo will be needed too, as well as an oil cooler ideally. Plus, that intercooler looked huge! I reckon you'll struggle to get that in a Cinq whilst the gearbox is in the car...

Also too big an I/C is not good

Increases lag! The intercooler on my Cinq is fairly small compared to the standard fitment on the 5 turbo which was smaller again than the one on the integrale. There is a meathod to work it out that I saw some time ago but where it is now I have no idea, something to do with turbo size, engine size, distance from inlet manifold etc etc!

Its been well discused on the evoforum as people have experimented with different sizes on rolling roads and the differance in positive boost can be anything upto 400rpm which can make a big differance especially on small cars.
