If your mate is a mechanic and he cant install a snort kit he should not be working with cars.
Snort kits are Almost 100% bolt on. Tap the Sump for the Oil return Inter cooler needs to be mounted and piping needs to be sorted out Connecting the dump pipe to your exhaust is about all that is not "bolt on" might be a few other little things to sort out as well but nothing that you shouldn't be able to overcome. |

An accountant could do it, let alone a mechanic.

i have a setup from snort that is close to an AIT turbo setup.
Snort put a stage 2 kit on an EA, using their Water to Air inter cooler setup and with stock ECU got over 200rwkw (cant remember exact figure) with upgraded fuel system BA injectors and a piggyback ECU final tune was 295rwkw. Remember you will need a F.M.U and a high flow fuel pump (not sure if they are in the snort kits) |

nice dude,
hmm wat if i dont get those extra parts? engine blows? =( ye those parts dont come with the stage 2, f**k! lol, ill be happy with 200 at the wheels. will i need the piggy back ecu? or can i just run the bolt on kit with a sweet tune on the stock ecu? |

u will need the F.M.U and the Fuel Pump as minimum.
It will and can run on stock fuel setup and ECU but i would at least get it on a dyno to check its running safe. and not run much boost probably 5psi max. "should" be no problem hitting 200rwkw with a snort stage 2 kit on stock ECU, with the parts above how many K's on your motor ? not major problems with it ? auto box or manual ? |

Umm the car is in perfect condition, 175K on the clock, just had new alternator put in, had new fuel pump put in in 2006, other then that, the cars been perfect. Its an auto, but i wanna convert to manual probs next year some time. |

the E series t5's don't like being pushed
if you are turboing stick with the auto and put a shift kit in it. if i were you i would do a bit more research into turbo's for e series read Chef's sticky at the top and do your sums again. finished product pretty much always ends up more than you will budget for. Especially if you try to do it cheaply. |

ye im deff budgeting above wat i think. Its around 3.5K for the kit, then installation, dyno and tune probs another 1.5...
I havnt got the money yet, so ill deff do some more research, cheers mate. |

Mate, under 8psi the snort kit, 12:1FMU and a good Fuel pump (Bosch 040 or similar) will throw around 320rwhp through a stock EA T5, and treated right, or wrong it will last, but for how long is the question. BI6TIM made 350rwhp on: Snort Kit, ED XR6 ECU, Bosch 040 pump, 24lb/hr injectors and a 12:1FMU, and an EA T5, went 13.7@110mph with a 2.4s 60 footer

Yep another happy customer
He had no intention of keeping that EA T5, i bet even he thought it was going to brake. and as i said the kit "should" be no problem hitting the figures he asked with a Fuel Pump and FMU. Cheapest option is to leave the BTR auto in there and use an electronic shift kit. |

Hmm wats a FMU? Sorry newbie here =D
I understand everything else just not the FMU. How much would i be looking at for the electronic shift kit? My mate has one in his statesman, the things a beast, he paid around 1500 i think. Is that about right? |
