Do I need a chip or custom tune once I put a turbo kit on?
A. Yes
and No. In the past we did some tweaks keep the car running safe at wot, But

cruising. We now offer a Pony Down "safe tune turbo chip" to give you the best
of everything.
-
What's the difference between the "b" series kits and the original design
kits?
A. There is 2 main things. One is just the look of where the turbo sits.
Second is the "b" series kit requires 3-4 areas that need to be trimmed or cut
on the car. The Original design just needs trimming to the drivers side sway
bar mount.

What does XXX part do on a turbo kit?
A. A quick run down is.....
Turbo - Is your unit that creates your boost. It is powered by the exhaust
gasses from the motor
Wastegate - This is what controls how much boost the turbo will produce
Blow off Valve - This will blow off boost in the piping when the throttle is
closed
Manual boost Controller (MBC)- This will allow you to increase boost over the
wastegate spring pressure

Locked timing vs Non locked timing
A. locked timing is where you pull the timing spout out and set the timing to
lets say 18* and leave it just like that. You do not put the spout back in.
You can set it to more than 18* but that's just a starting point. This is a
good way of running at the track under wot, but it sucks on the street. Your
start up will be rough and your part throttle will be rough.
Troubleshooting: New updated coming soon.
