I didn’t drive my car enough time with the TurboZentrum kit but I can confirm that the car was really monster in very very low RPM, maybe before the 3400rpm it had the full boost of 30psi !!
You will enjoy it my friend [emoji4]

That's amazing you still have this car! Still looks brand new as well! Cylinder #3 on mine just went out so I'm currently in the rebuild process time for me to go big turbo too!

You should really just keep everything in one thread, this forum is so dead there's no need to separate
I agree with this recommendation
At AU Tuning - just took it around block before it gets towed home. It's brutal.

Why does it idle so badly?
That is my current problem, car is not properly tuned. Very disappointed. So now I need to find someone or a company that can supply a proper tune.
It not only idles badly, it won't idle until the car reaches temp. It barely runs in rpms ranges 3500 or less, nothing but misses, bogs, backfires and just a general mess. Above 3500 it all goes away and car runs like a beast but it runs so poorly under 3500 it is difficult to get it to 3500.
The car was warm when I went to pick it up, so when I started it, it idled up right away. I took it up and down the street and noticed it was rough but just thought it was me. Once I got it home (flatbed) and started and tried to drive car today.... car would not start and hold idle, it just dies. I stayed in car feathered throttle to keep it running until engine up to temp, then it would idle.
So..... I waited several months for this, not at all happy but now I have a new project.

I would be pretty upset that Au just gave you the car like that.. So they all came to the decision that they couldn't tune your car properly but it ran "ok" with it warm so they made sure the car was hot when you picked it up.
Please don’t drive the car because such problems could damage the engine very quick.
Keep it in the garage until you tune it or even diagnose the problems because it maybe a mechanical issues too.
Absolutely, its not being driven
Well even warm it doesn't run ok. When cold it won't idle until engine reaches full operating temp.
