We get a steady stream of questions... I appreciate your referrals 
I followed up with Rev Hard for about a year on the kit and nothing moved so I stopped chasing them down about it.

It is not us actually, Turbonetics made the kit and they have not released the DYNO charts yet... Sorry, my hand are tied on this one.
However, we have 7 or 8 of them already sold, so I cam sure you will see some real world results once the kits are ready.

No problem... I didn't take it that way. I was just clarifying for people who might have read it and though I was purposely holding out

Hey All,
I just talked to Turbonetics. Looks like latest ETA is Mid Jan... I have already called all of the customers with deposits, so I thought I would update the board too.
Happy Holidays

^ Not neccesary at all....
The design and final product on this kit is pretty impressive and looks well...
Pretty amazing...
There are +'s and -'s with each kit in regards to service/design/customability..... be fair...

every turbo kit out there will look similar to each other. its the quality of the parts that seperates the rest. The differences will be hard to find for the untrained eye. such as myself

All kits include a manifold, a turbo, some more piping, and perhaps a BOV and WG.
The real difference would be when the tubular manifolds start coming out along with the different designs each company uses.
In any case, this kit differs from ZPI's kit in that the BOV goes back to the intake piping. That should fix some idling problems or something or rather. The log looks exactly the same though - collector is on the driver side and the waste gate sits sticking out at the center of the log. Dezod's log has the WG stocking out of the collector.

Currently the Unichip is the piggy back that is proven successful in keeping the stock ECU from learning and reprograming itself. Call it what you will, but it works!
Just ask anyone that has tried to tune a Toyota ECU w/ an eManage, Lexus IS300 included. You will get about 500 miles out of it before it starts the re-learning process. I say this not by hearsay, but by my many IS300 customers that had the same issue. There are work arounds, but they require multiple tuning sessions and more equipment. Not to mention you have to splice into your stock harness.
Compare that with the Unichip's plug n play (no splice) harness and 100% success rate on the Toyota ECU and you can see why it was chosen. Turbonetics tends to use the best technology out for the specific application. When they designed their 350Z/G35 kits they went right to Technosquare for the ECU tuning and re-flash equipment.
Please do not pick up any attitude form me, it is not meant to come across that way. I am just stating the facts... Ultimately the public will decide what they want to use.

Yes, Turbo + MAF = BOV Recirc. You will have problems with the idle and the car stalling after a hard run if the BOV goes to the atmosphere. Again, this is from expierence and not hearsay... I type this so people no I am not basing things off of what I may have heard, but by actual customers and my years of tech support in this industry...
