So you can feel comfortable that you are buying the kit for now and for the future

In regards to the Price Match. We would need to see an Ad from a company that was selling it for less and be able to verify it. Remeber, we are Master WD with Turbonetics. We know what the lowest is someone can sell it because typically that is US

Let me know if you have any further questions...

I for one looked over the list very nice,.,.. but since u will only match price for the same kit that means you guys cant tell em the zpi price and try and get it cheaper... 2 different kits

The reason why the kit is soo dam expensive is cause everything they are using seems to be quality i.e spearco i/c, Unichip ECU, raptor BOV etc. Also, as both me and Lastlookcustoms stated before, the customer service that you will get with these kits is incredible beyond anyones imagination. Jesse is a real stand up guy that gets you answers when you need them most. Welcome aboard btw Jesse

Hey Vito,

Thanks... Don't mind this guy, he see's a kit that will give his offering some competition and is just marking his territory. No biggie, the customers will decide what they like better.

Anyway, you are 100% correct. Turbonetics is top quality... Rarely do I hear back with any major issues on their products and the mininmal issues I deal with are taken care of swiftly by myself or Turbonetics directly.

I would like to thank everyone for their warm welcome and let you know to keep the questions coming. Anything I can't answer, I will get answered directly from Turbonetics

How hard is it to install the kit? Can one do it in his garage? I have never done it before but I'm not clueless. Btw, is tuning required after the installation or is it plug and play? Thanks!

The kit shouldnt be all that hard to install on these cars. As long as everything is true bolt on there should not be any fitment issues...as far as tuning goes...nobody knows cause the kit hasnt been actually released yet

My rep at Turbonetics didn't know exactly what size... I assume they are 370 or 440 baased on the HP the kit is putting out. I will see if I can find out for you.

The stock injectors are 370cc (nice of toyco to put these in for small boost ready). They include 410cc injectors for the supercharger upgrade running 6 PSI of boost.

They they must be 440... However, let me confirm with Turbonetics.

Hey All,

I talked to Turbonetics and they are not releasing any further info about the kit until the SEMA show. No DYNO's, nothing. One thing they did say was their test car was 100% stock, stock cat, stock exhaust, stock everything at 8 PSI.

Eitherway, I would love to get a few of these out and testing the potential. So PM me if you are interested in our Wholesale deal.

Sorry.

I'm sorry to bother, but did Turbonetics say that both cats are still on? I want to retain some semblance of greenness with two cats..

Oh, also, can you ask if Turbonetics is going to fight for a CARB number?

Thanks.

Unless they added a cat to the downpipe, then the only cat would be the little one in the exhaust after the s-pipe.
