manage my engine?

you mean the ecm ..

my whole car is stock except for a apexi intake, and a 3" downpipe .. but there will be another downpipe with the kit ..

i will use the kit and review it, along with mr2gq .. if you look on youtube theres a few people with ss / xs / ebay turbo kits that have had success ..

there is also a guy that has installed many of ssautochromes kits and goes threw what are the positives and negatives of there different products, in which he lists there t3/t4 turbos are good .. there manifolds may crack, but if you examine the product for flaws in the welding and fix any problems before installation then there shouldnt be any problems .. and the ss / xs 38mm tial style wastegates are good ..

it lists that their fuel pressure regulators are junk, the bov's are junk (mr2gq's doesnt work, but he might have a leak in his IC piping) .. and there were some other things he listed ..

i have seen alot of people who have said there products have gotten alot better from when they had turbo's falling apart since they were glued instead of welded ..

the reason i bought the kit is my lack of funds right now (im not getting a loan), and i'd rather have something that is new than a used that might go next week .. also i have not found anyone that has used the kit online and done a review on the MR2 KIT .. so i decided to give it a try and if it turns out good and it dyno's good, then maybe more of us will buy the kit as a slight upgrade or a turbo replacement ..

if not, then we can steer clear of the kit and not have arguments whether they are any good or not b/c we will have actually proof ..
