hello there,
i'm new on this forum and think it's great tried to find info about caldina 4th gen 3s-gte i want to know how far i can go with the original caldina turbo because it kicks in at low rpm (1.1 bar at 2800rpm) it drives very good on the road Visit My Website got a fmic and 3"exhaust but after 4000rpm the pressure drops from 1.1 to 0.9 or even 0.8 bar at 6000 rpm aem boostcontroller set at 1.1 bar , walbro fuelpump (look at proflie for info) 280 hp is the max at this moment thanks |

Great job on the swap
 I want to try the same thing sumtime in the future I hope. Was it hard to swap it in? did u have alot of bugs to work out? Was there any additional steps that needed to be taken because this swap was a st215 engine not the st205 engine? FWD? |
