whoa buddy, dont know who you calling STUPID , just trying to get input here from dezod and other companies out there. I know one company is coming out with a 3" exhaust so just trying to get input why they're going 3" and dezod went with a 2.5" for their turbo exhaust. If its more heavy and not necessary then that'll be my decision to make.

 

He was saying stupid power levels, as in ridiculously high, especially for a tC. No reason to jump down his throat. I think it's safe to say unless you plan on making large amounts of hp on your tC, like 500+, going 3" all the way back would just be a waste of money and weight. Just my 2 cents.

 

haha, whoops. Cape Cod was right - not calling anyone stupid.

 

A 3" is not NEEDED for 300 WHP but in a turbo car bigger exhaust is always better. The less backpressure the better. It increase turbocharger efficiency..

 

tomorrow is the BIG DAY...kit comes in.

 

i see you didnt waste time putting that in your sig. ;)... very nice... you getting it installed tommorrow?

 

Please let me know how the install goes! Mine is being ordered tomorrow and I hope to install it myself as well.

 

Congrats again. Please let me know if theres anyhelp I can provide..

 

kit is here and taking pics when i get time. Waiting on my gauge pod to get shipped from creativecompacts but theyre taking forever on shipping it out. Had it ordered on wed last week and no update yet. So nowhere to mount my gauges yet. You guys think i can install the kit right now and maybe start er up and not drive hard at all without the gauges maybe for a couple days or should i just wait it out til the pod gets here?

 

From what i hear its a safe tune so you should be ok. We Had one this weekend at the ZPI shootout and when dyno'd it the guy who ran the dyno was impressed with the tune. He said the a/f's were dead on what they should be.

 

The kit is bolt on out the box, it will run with or without gauges, safely. Thats the point of the Turbonetics kit. They would have included gauges if they felt they were critical. Install it and happy boosting to you!

 

Although I agree about it being safe. I would caution you to take it easy till you do et some gauges in there. After all it only takes one crimped pressure/vacuum line to not open the wastegate...

 

yeah, im taking it easy til i get a new clutch. By the way, with the kit, it was missing two gaskets. One for the turgo inlet and one for the oil drain flange from the turbo. Should i contact turbo-kits.com or turbonetics themselves?

 

Contact Turbonetics directly. They will overnight you whatever you need. Call Reggie at 805-581-6710

 

i couldn t wait so i picked some up at my friends performance shop. Working on the install right now should have it up and running by later tonight.

 

Awesome!!!

 

Cool

 

you should get vids too..

 

just got done with the install and man am I tired. Just took it out for a test drive and man it sounds awesome. No hard runs yet, gonna dyno just to be safe first and then I'll give a full review with pics. Time for some sleep now...

 

were you test driving it with any guages installed??? if not, was it running ok??? what was hard on the install (oil lines, unichip, etc.)??
