Do most places have them in stock or is there a couple week wait time ?
also, with the supplied tune and injectors how much more could u turn up the boost? could you run like 9-10psi out the box?

Some places do stock them. AS for turning up the boost you absolutely need to have the Unichip re-tuned if you do that. Even one run could cause engine failure if not done. Tuning is essential.

if you do get it tuned, is there enough fuel to run 9-11psi?

The injectors should be more then adequate. They are 630cc

I thought you said, the tune was good to 11psi? I could be wrong..

Are you sure they are 630cc? I thought they were 550cc.

I figure that since the supplied tune was conservative/rich, and injectors are at least 550cc it would be ok to run another couple psi

No I don't recall every saying that the out of box tune was good to 11 PSI. As for the injectors they are 60 lb/hr injectors which works out to 630ccs unless I'm wrong there. The out of box tune is conservative but may need some more timing pulled to run more boost. I would get it on the dyno regardless if you plan to up the boost.

cool, thanks. I will probably end up ordering it next week. Now, the kit comes with 7 and 9psi springs? The dyno #'s they give in their ads are at 8.5psi. Is that with the 9psi spring and .5psi loss through the I/C? Also, do they give u any wg shims? With my srt4 and turbonetics wg I got a couple extra psi with shims.

The 9 PSI spring gives you about 8.5 PSI after the pressure drop. You can order some shims but I don't believe the kit comes with any. The person you order your kit from should be able to get you some shims.

Has anyone with the turonetics kit tried or know if its possible to push the pins out of the connector for the inj. harness and use the new one without splicing? Also is it possible to find a copper fitting for the oil psi sw. without retaping it.

I didn't retap my head. No way in hell I was doing that. I picked up a new fittings that work without retapping . You could even goto the dealership and order the one that comes with the supercharger.
