i dnt really see many tx5 turbs when i drive around, that was 1 of the main reasons for getting one.......
ive had it for bout 4 mnths now..... and starting to get some good mods going, i bout to take it into a turb specialist because i cant figure out how to take off the factory restrictor. im sure its basic, if any of ur fella's can help me out it would be great..... |

| I have a problem with it over boosting on cool nihgts in third gear. I installed a boost gauge and it only show 8-9psi. Not sure what going on there. The best way to get more boost into it (as I've been told) is to put a boost controller before the factory controller/sender unit. can run up to 18psi. |
