Ok i want to go boost but im not sure what kit best benefits the tc. I know that turbonetics kit gives 300whp on stock internals but how reliable is that? will my motor be stressed to its limitations? i was also told i can build much better and more reliable hp through a custon kit. If i go custom, whats best for the tc? any help would be really appreciated! OH also a small detail i left out is that the turbonetics kit retails for 3995.00 and i can get it for 900 so its makin me wanna jump on it. what do you guys think?

Yea anyone who could get that good of a deal on a kit would just buy then worry about selling it or putting it on. I think this guy just wanted to brag about being able to get a good deal...lol :rolling:

everyone is going to have there own thoughts about it.. it is a great kit!! i mean it is turbonetics lol, its about what u want... my buddy has the kit on his tc and he put down 314hp but blew the head gasket 5 days later. it just depends on the tune man... myself i have a zpi kit stage 1 kit but have changed everything about it lol..

lol then don't do it... cause it is forced induction witch means Ur forcing air that is not supposed to be there into the motor. so then that means there is a chance that it will blow!!! sorry to tell u but if u want to be faster then u got to take the chance man.. i mean the motor handels it well but if ur to scared to blow ur motor then dont do it..

as long as you keep an eye on the system components, maintain, and run it right.. you have the best odds of not seeing an issue..
however, things do happen so the chance remains.. the odds, slim

theres plenty of boosted tC's doing it everyday without issues

if you do not feel safe, then don't do it, noone can garantee anything

yeah i understand that but my main worry is if i drop the compression and do the valve kit i should be pretty safe am i right?
