Interesting that you mentioned it was louder than you thought. I thought because of the re-circ, they were pretty quiet. The one I heard was pretty quiet anyway, but then again, I guess it is rather audiable being that it's re-circ'ed. I'm use to the one venting into the atmosphere, and those are sickly loud.

Install took me right around 8 hours from start to finish with a few breaks in between. The kit comes with one of the best installation manuals for putting a turbo kit on a TC.

Thats awesome guys. This kit is soo nice.
Its either the turbonetics kit or the sound performance kit. But i'm leaning towards the turbonetics because so many people have it and its running great, I dont know if anyone else has the sound performance kit on.
Good luck with your kits.
Must have video clip of anything, oh! tape the dyno when you go. please!

does it require to take out the oil pan?? cuz i searched for the turbonetics kit, and theyre providing synthetic oil as well. so I figured its for the oil line, right??

Im trying to see how hard the installation of the kit, ill see if i can install it myself and save money. im ready to buy the turbo.

You will have to tap out a hole in your stock oil pan for the oil feed return line. Turbonetics includes engine oil but any 100% syn you be ok.

there are only two things that isnt bolt on.
1. tap the oil pan, everything is provided to do this
2. cut and splice your injector harness
