How much is it to powdercoat the charge pipes? I would want them to look OEM-ish lol

They come powdercoated now. It's the same crinkly black stuff that's on the intake piping.

I am sure Jwick has 4879 of his posts in Boosted threads, lol everytime I look through my subscripted thread and its bumped up to the top it shows you as the last poster!

haha time to demand a Job as Boosted Performance Industries! hahah :p

Sasha did mention I was vying for a job but I told him he probably couldn't afford me or my boost monkey:tup::rofl2:

Wow this kit just keeps getting better and better

I have a V1 kit and the charge pipes came powder coated the wrinkle black like jwick was saying.

Boosted Performance V 2.0 turbo list
 

The standard V1 kit did not come with powder coated charge piping it was unfinished. The powder coating started after the intercooler

Case and point! :p hahaha

Well I got my kit used so don't hurt me haha :stirthepot:

FI noob here. What are the pros and cons of a TT set up vs this one?

You get to join the Houston BP group? :tiphat:

Here's a start of a list for you. Some of the items listed below are my opinion and not necessarily FACT. I won't point out which ones. I'll let the guys debate...

BP
Pros:
- You can install it in your garage on jack stands
- A single turbo makes more torque than a TT
- With a twin scroll divided housing you hardly notice any spool difference
- Everything you need, except a basic tool set, is included with the purchase of the kit
- Pulling the turbo is pretty simple and can be done in less than an hour, probably more like 30 mins

Cons:
- A scavenge pump is required since turbo sits at the same level as the oil pan so gravity draining is not possible
- Turbo is low
- The secondary PCV system is vented causing a slight hiccup in the idle when coming to a complete stop.
- Only available for MT
- Have to drop the turbo cross piping to change the tranny fluid (highly recommend adding a transmission fluid change at time of install. Use synthetic so you don't have to worry about it for awhile)

TT
Pros:
- Turbos are located like the factory would have installed them
- No scavenge pump cuz the turbos gravity feed
- Power curve is likely slightly easier on the engine than the ST because the torque comes on a little more gradually
- Keeps the stock PCV system
- Transmission type doesn't matter, the kit will fit. (assumes you ignore the power restrictions the AT has without serious upgrades)

Cons:
- Basically have to drop the motor to install
- Unlike the BP kit, most people will need a shop to install the TT
- Won't come with everything to install
- Turbo upgrade requires you to drop the motor again

As an aside. Mine is installed and up and running. You are more welcome to ask me any specific questions or I'd be willing to let you check out the car. it's currently at the shop for the V1.5 piping retune but I should have it back next week.

Good comparison write up Jwick!

The only one I am curious about is the hiccup at idle you speak of. I have never noticed it. Not saying it isn't there, just never noticed it.

One thing you left out is price. The ST will cost a couple thousand less than twins.

This is pretty interesting to me... let me explain. I spoke with BP about a kit and thought my gosh the price is great. Then I got ahold of a place to install and tune and it was the same cost as the kit itself. That being the case I thought 15k was pretty steep to drop for FI, knowing that if money is at all a concern I shouldn't mess with it. That being said, your explaination sure makes it sound like I can spend the 7k and have this knocked out in my garage within a week and be up and running... pending a tune.

Is that really the case ?
