It's been about a year now and the car is still going strong. However, I've noticed I'm losing a decent amount of oil (2 quarts in 4k miles), so this time I'm DEFINITELY going to tap the block and drop the oil above the line. I still don't understand why some people can run this kit without that problem, but whatever.

I used a 90° bulkhead fitting when I tapped my block. The 90° bend is inside the oil pan and exits at almost exactly the same level as the oil pick up. No leaks or issues at all with that location.

Limp-home mode is not good for your motor, whether the CEL is blinking or not.

You got brass balls, focus.
I truly admire you. I am still having issues getting into contact with zage. Grace answers emails but doesn't even really answer my questions. Got any other contacts? Phone numbers? etc Thanks!

Question for you experts. Say I get the zage and then want to drop in a different turbo. Look at the zage dowbpipe flange.
Can ANYONE see if another turbo (greddy, hks, etc) will work with the 4 bolt flange? I know that only a small turbo would fit but that can be managed. I just want to know if that flange can be used with another turbo. Let's say it blows for whatever reason. Getting another turbo besides the zage would be much easier (for me at least) than dealing with zage. I know the garrett will not fit becaue of the 5 bolt pattern. Thanks, fellas!

Ok,
Here's my opinon. After much research on the Zage kit, here is what I found out. That kit for your car uses a 15G turbo which is one step higher than the Greddy 14G kit which means more power. Zage is using a Mitsubishi turbo just like Greddy for their kits so your still getting a Mitsubishi turbo either way. The Zage kit quite nice, more than enough power for your stock motor. You will still need engine management for that kit too as it does not come with it. Here is what you do. Get the Zage kit use a AEM/FIC, Greddy boost controller and timmer and Run a AEM water Methanol kit. You can safely turn up the boost with the Greddy boost controller and use the Methanol kit to control the detonation. You will have unbeliveable power with that set-up. You could run 10lb no problem. Do not do more than this for your DD. YOU WILL BLOW THAT MOTOR UP!!!!! Unless you have deeper pockets to build a motor than do just this and you will be very happy. This is my advice to you, take it or leave it. But you'll be bitting off more than you can chew if your not careful. Also don't make all the same mistakes I did. If you want to turbo charge then go turbo don't waste your energy or money on a S/C. Not worth all the effort to change it all around to a different type of system. XBG |

Dunno how you found out about Zage using a Mitsu turbo, but that's cool with me. As far as I know, Mistu has good quality turbos, and (so far) I can't complain. |

Really no need to discuss it any further, that says it all. Looking forward to your build.
