I completed a DASC Install on my 99' TI about a week or so ago. I did the install over a weekend and took approx. 20 hours (I took my time) The first time I started her she started right up and idled like a champ, no vacume leaks or anything. Anyone do an install take your time it will come out better.

I do not have have any dyno charts but they will be forth coming. I had all bracket Powerder Coated "Flat Black" to make the install clean and all had all the intake manifolds "Extrude Honed" (www.extrudehone.com). I can post pictures on the manifolds if anyone is interested.

I would like to send a thanks out to all the people that participated in the group buy, as well Nick G and Jim @ DA for offering great discounts.

I also cannot forget Gerry Dorison for his great write up and the help he provided to me before the install. Thanks Gerry.

The pictures can be viewed at:

Good work! Glad to hear the install went good. The brackets look really nice power-coated. I had a friend help with my DASC install and it took about 14 hours. The DASC kit is really impressive. I haven't had a single problem since I installed mine about 12k miles ago.

Now what? Water-injection, pulley?

Dustin,

Thanks... As for next, not a whole lot planned as of yet. We'll see, I am thinking some dyno runs, and some more driving once I get some miles down, I will think about making changes.

I got a really good deal as I met the owner at SEMA, so if anyone is interested in the service let me know. I think there normal cost for a 4 Cyl . EFI Manifold is over $420, and then the elbow is like another $50. I can get it all done for $400 + Shipping which is like $15 or so.

Turn around is 2-3 Weeks, more like three.

Let me know if you are interested.

A little off topic but are the individual runners for the DASC manifold circular?

I think supercharging doesnt void your warranty....but turbocharging does.

I would be extremely happy if that were the case... I'll into it, but I'm highly doubtful.

In my expirience waranties are not voided unless the problem with the car can be directly linked to the S/C Or Turbo. I.E. I had my ABS pump go out and my car was under the factory waranty. The dealer replaced the pump under waranty even though I had a DASC.

The DASC could not be directly related the S/C so therefore the repair was covered. If I blew a head gasket that might be a different story.
