Get a proper paper air filter and housing to increase your BHP and *PROTECT* the turbo. A paper filter is way oversized and up to 15 times greater in surface area, so the one you have has massive holes and allows dirt and dust a paper filter would remove to damage the turbo. It causes pitting as it is like sandblasting the engine! It's a common mistake gullible boy racers make, they believe adverts that are misleading and hand over their money. Noise doesn't mean power, it means RESTRICTION!
1989 2.5 liter Turbo I with the SMEC engine management. Mitsubishi turbo blowing straight into a 1-piece TII style intake manifold. Has balance shafts stock, as well as really short-skirted pistons to get 2.5 liters out of the Common Block. Cast crank, forged rods, Mahle cast aluminum pistons. Really strong motor, will take a lot of boost.
That A413 automatic transaxle is prolly your weak link. They need heavy mods to take 250+ horsepower.
damnit.. can i have that motor!? lol.. my car has the same motor but a 2.5L Non-turbo! it runs great fresh rebuild.. looks good but just needs more power.. nice motor by the way man and love the bass videos!
