I am going to be doing the same turbo install right away on my 15 T3. Could you give me a head start and let me know what you ran into that you had to fix. Any info would be great thanks.
everything the guy above said, also make sure they send you the jumper wire for the power source.
Remove the exhaust, y-pipe can stay on, but leave the pipe out until the end.
Make sure you don't have anything routed between the overstructure and hood, made that mistake and it was annoying to re-route.
Take time routing the fuel lines, it's easy to take the shortest route, but then you have excess line when it comes to connect to the ecu.
Also, I had my brother machine some new bar clamps to remove the mtn strap so it would clean up the gauge mount and make it sit better. I mounted mine in front of the bars and you can see them fine without the strap. (if that's something you would be interested in let me know and I can see what he would charge for a set, they didn't take him long in the cnc.
The new sled doesn't have the 12v power source where it used to be so you have to put a jumper in with the 12v source that the oil pump hooks into. Once you understand how it works it gets easier, the directions are kind of overwhelming at first. Remember the short line for the coil is on the closest coil for coil 1, and make sure you match the secondary injector 1 to coil 1, it doesn't say that in the directions but that was an issue I ran into.
Also, the directions show a tpms plug, it's not on the harness anymore. Lay the harness on the ground, figure out which plug is which, put masking tape near each end with a tail to write on and label them, wish I would have done it the first time.
James at Silber is a huge help, i'm sure he's thoroughly annoyed by me for all the questions I had for him but he never showed it and even helped me late in the day after hours.
What altitude are you running at? what boost do you want to run?
I started at the pre set 5psi and I was wanting more. don't get me wrong, it's fast as sh*t compared to my 14 137 freeride, but i'm going to 10psi to see if it's rideable, and mainly for the giggle factor.
Also, for tuning, read the description on what each light setting is, then read them again, then read them again. knowing what each one is while you're on the sled for tuning makes a big difference. it comes pretty well set up but may need some fine tuning, James at Silber is again a great resource for this.
Any other questions let me know!
