Thanks babe 🫣

[@TrevorShrier]

Making me second guess getting this thing installed😭 don’t give that bad luck the fa20 will be FINE shhhh

[@Johnncasella]

Yoooo it’s gonnaaaa be fineee 😎

[@dbgetsblocks9713]

my brz was turbo for 70k miles and since like 2016 my oil pump failed only failer ive had recommend doing a oil cooler and catch can setup

[@TrevorShrier]

@@dbgetsblocks9713 how much boost you running?

[@dbgetsblocks9713]

@@TrevorShrier current making 280 on 5 pounds I recommend a .50 trim turbo atleast a precision or a Garrett so close to 330 340 to the crank it's all u really need after 320 your spinning wheels and rods bend with e85

[@TrevorShrier]

@@dbgetsblocks9713 nice nice I went with the Gtx2860r II and have stuck with 7psi on flex e85, no clue what the numbers are but it definitely gets down pretty good lol, still tempting to try 10 or 12psi but that’ll be after I have a spare engine ready

[@xaynasr]

I feel like you didn't answer the question in your title

[@Johnncasella]

It’s all for you to decide based off the info I gave you 😉in my opinion it’s worth it! 😎

[@jeremycamacho1213]

Yes it’s worth it can confirm

[@xaynasr]

@@jeremycamacho1213 lol just bought one yesterday 😂

[@AsadNoormahmad]

​@Amin Nasr how is it?

[@Tylerwaw1]

Fire video bro🔥🔥

[@Johnncasella]

Thanks bro!

[@kadinspencer2784]

almost made me cry talking about my open dump like that :(

[@Johnncasella]

IM SORRY! 😂 it has potential to sound good! 😭😭

[@mrporsche4236]

It takes away the fun factor. Either do a header and tune or supercharger

[@shehatesjacobb7843]

so hks vs jdl? in terms of their headers/rest of exhaust and turbo kit?

[@jrodo3484]

Idk why but my brz is holding all 350 on stock clutch daily droven since February

[@Johnncasella]

That’s crazyyyy how many miles u have on the car??

[@jrodo3484]

@@Johnncasella 28500!

[@Johnncasella]

Wow not baddd

[@mlgmunkeywristgang5528]

I would love too turbo my 2013 BRZ but I’m scared too because I got 130k miles on it

[@JanDanielM]

Boosted mine at 130k. 165k now, only issue i had so far is my timing belt failing. Just get a safe tune, good clutch, oil cooler, catch can

[@adrianespinosa3747]

What exhaust set up do u have again? Sounds amazing

[@Johnncasella]

I have the JDL UEL header plus downpipe, to gruppe-s overpipe, invidia resonated front pipe to Tomei catback

[@adrianespinosa3747]

Thanks

[@mresab1997]

@@Johnncasella oo very interesting combination of brands there. What did your reasoning look like?

[@Zuleticassj]

Bro, what specific turbo do you use? enter the page to buy it and I have 5 turbo options to choose from

[@dbgetsblocks9713]

the same tbing happened to me with the crank plate it was pain in the ass had to trouble shoot my car 2 hours into i figured it out

[@BigDaddyMarshal]

should i still get an oil cooler even if im doing daily no track at all?

[@Johnncasella]

I would consider it

[@yokomuki8634]

Kinda confusing, is this a jdl kit vs any other kit? Or is it a turbo kit vs build your own kit? Or boosting your car or staying n/a? Was hoping to hear from experience with other kits vs maybe online reviews or comments etc..

[@jesse584]

n/a is the must reliable and most predictable. just build the engine internals up and you can free up a lot of power by lightening up all rotating parts.
the faster and freer an N/A can run the better..
unfortunately too much info to actually put here 😅
i would suggest improving the cars capabilities first, get every last brace you can get your hands on, do research and find ones that you really like... trd door stabilizers are amazing... anything to make the car take high speed better...
after all, there is no point to all that power, if you can't enjoy it at speed.

[@derekpenaloza]

how much power you pushing? eventually thinking ab boosting my 2013 frs

[@Johnncasella]

I’m making 300 wheel right now 🫣

[@Zuleticassj]

Open dump or recirculating vent to exhaust system?

[@tranceraisch5786]

you mentioned needing a clutch to run a turbo setup. I'm pretty new to the modding scene Does that include autos too? Cuz I have no idea how to swap the clutch in an auto.

[@unknown12712]

No for autos you don't have a clutch

[@enzyme874]

how much hp did you gain bro ??

[@Johnncasella]

About double HP

[@valentinedpg]

what camera are you shooting with?

[@Johnncasella]

A6500 Sony

[@alexchipchase3709]

wheel setup?

[@Unknown-um6nb]

You planning on building ur motor?

[@Johnncasella]

Eventually

[@LooneyIOS]

Will this work on a 2020 brz??

[@LooneyIOS]

By that I meant the jdl turbo kit specifically

[@Johnncasella]

Yes it should

[@XX-rs7sq]

Are you drunk? Lol

[@emeliakearney344]

Johnny your going to ruin your tires!!

[@Johnncasella]
