Default Yay! Finally got my Murf Stage "1.5" kit.

It's a bit of custom cocktail of Stage 1 and Stage 3 parts that Tim brewed up for me. Plan to start the install tomorrow after work. :-)

?? I heard there were some recent issues, but was there something less than special about '90 TTs?

And what does a Murph 1.5 consist of?

Look at AO's barber pole of a driveshaft. Twisted it right up and spit it out.

OK, OK...

So, the 1.5 kit (not sure what Tim will call it), is basically a Stage 1 kit, minus FMU, plus 42 lb/hr injectors, custom fuel and spark ROMs, and using a Stage 3 pulley. So, more or less a Stage 3 kit with a single air inlet and without the intercooler.

To the kit I'm adding two more 9" high speed pusher fans, and an Innovate LC-1 wide band.

My main objective, which I discussed with Tim and Mike, was that I wanted a Stage 1 kit, but I also wanted more low-end boost to help offset my 6200 foot elevation (typical ambient here is around 70kPa).

These are the only pictures I have for now. I'll post more as the work progresses.

Cheers,
Paul

Looks like you are in for a fun weekend. I will be thinking about you and drooling while I prepare to pull the engine on my toasted 88.

Nice! So at that elevation with the stage 3 pulley, single inlet airbox and intercooler delete what is the expected maximum boost?

I have no idea. Tim tested the setup on his car, in Wisconsin, and estimated 10 to 11 PSI, but I don't know how altitude affects this. My guess would be the boost would mainly see a similar loss to ambient... so 8 PSI or so here.

Sweet I will be following this thread.
I am about a year behind you.
I need to get my car completely sorted and then I am going to pull the trigger on the Murf.
