YEa i was boosted for maybe 5000 miles... then the manifold cracked... i took it off.. putting together another one..

BUt my question to my fellow tCs out there with Turbo... how long have you been boosted if there is anybody with 1 year or 30000 miles let me know...

I'm interested in hearing your input on how your car runs currently..

AndrewGene

what kit where you boosted with??? if you want to p.m. me the answer you can....or did you put the kit together yourself?

zevel

I've been boosted for five months and put around 3,000 miles on my car. So far so good.

Joe_Dezod

1 year and 5 months. Stock motor. 296whp, 10psi, daily driven.

I have about 18k miles turbo-charged under the belt.

yamaha16bw

8 months here without any problems. About 8-9,000 miles on my car since the turbo.

SiknesS

dude have checked out the rods yet?? those things are a joke...

well thats what i wanted to hear... a year plus...

im gonna start all over with another kit...

the one that cracked was a ZPI log mani... the old one..it was the proto...

but idunno... i'm still contemplating...

i got 8000 left to go on payment... and i really dont want to blow my only car ya know?? i guess i have to get a really good kit then to start over with...

Joe_Dezod

Glad I could assure you. Our kits have been running really well.

cdp1279

My buddy has just about 30k miles with his t-netics setup. He drives a lot of interstate hyw to get to work but beats the crap out of it when on the street.

mospeedtc

Tnetics here about 2 month auto about 5k on the turbo

SiknesS

so right now it seems that the tC motor has been holding up pretty good eh? anyone running the taiwanese turbo(big evo 16G) for this long like a year or something..

Robs_tc

Rhythmnsmoke (Travis) has been running that turbo for a long time, at 10psi on top of that. I don't know how much miles he's packed on but I know he's not easy on the engine by any means. Guys like him and Joe have solid tunes to go with their setups, never over look that area.

I've been running mine about 3 months 4,000 miles. Keep it at 8psi-10psi and you should have no worries about the motor.

SiknesS

well this is good to see... i know the tC can withstand some force from turbo...

but where i tend to be hesitant is the parts...
Now I'm not rushing to put on a turbo kit... i'm actually taking time... researching... and doing testing as well...

hopefully i can push one out by end of april...

peteyd

eh i ran mine for about 8 months. roughly 10,000-12,000 held up fine befor i sold it.

rhythmnsmoke

Running a 1+ year

Current mileage 25,000

Installed 1 month after car was bought

Half a year on 8 PSI, rest has been on 10 PSI

ZPI Stage 1 turbo kit.


YES.....I had the old log manifold too before they switched to the robotic tig welded ones. YES....I developed a small crack in the manifold.

Step 1) Take off manifold
Step 2) Send back to ZPI
Step 3) ZPI sent back Overnighted rewelded and re-thermal coated for free
Step 4) Continue smashing fools on the street and track.....NO more manifold cracks since.

If the only problem you have had was just a crack in the manifold....Call Kenny, he will square you away. Have a good day..
