1. Time in months/weeks you have had it done? Weeks and Months don't work in my case: Dec 05 - Motor still not in car as of today.

2. Miles you have had it done?/ and mile u have now? ZPI kit was installed at 9k (after my 1000 mile trip up there) motor blew up at 11500 (after my 1000 mile trip back) so I had 1500 miles of boost and 18 months of a rebuild.

3. Butt dyno?

4. REAL dyno? When it's all said and done, building for 650 but will detune down to 400 or so.

5. Vibrations.....when, where, how many, how long, ect. leak also N/A

6. Relate those things in 5 to a timeline, i.e. first 1000 miles, ect. See above

7. Comments?"problem" See above

8. If you could start over, would you do it agian? Hell No!

9. Hard one: Ever test/ notice a difference in running temps? N/A

10.how long did it take you to install it?/u think it can be install in one day? Not what I'm doing! Hell it took ZPI 2 weeks to install my "custom" kit.

11.what was the hardest part of the install? Living without my car and living with my car payment for the last 18 months.

12. what kit do u have ? Was ZPI stage 1, now it's all fully built and custom.

1. Time in months/weeks you have had it done? December '06 - Present

2. Miles you have had it done?/ and mile u have now?
Installed it at 10k on the car, now I have 17k

3. Butt dyno?
Yup, It was amazing, my butt felt amazing afterwards

4. REAL dyno?
Nope, I want to have it done soon, but my life doesnt permit me time to go get it done.

5. Vibrations.....when, where, how many, how long, ect. leak also
No vibrations, I did have a leak that was making my exhaust blue, i recently sent in my turbo for warranty, I blew a seal.

6. Relate those things in 5 to a timeline, i.e. first 1000 miles, ect.
started at about 7k miles on the turbo

7. Comments?"problem"
No problems really, sometimes it would stall after driving a short distance after a cold start. But it stopped doing that after about 2k miles.

8. If you could start over, would you do it agian?
Hell yea, I will do it to any car I get in the future too

9. Hard one: Ever test/ notice a difference in running temps?
No, Dont have the equipment to really test it well, However, stock engine temp gauge never changed, it just gets to normal running temps a lot quicker.

10.how long did it take you to install it?/u think it can be install in one day?
14 hours broken up over 3 days, keep in mind, i started with no tools and had to run to the hardware store 9billion times. Now I have a full set of tools
As well, I am not a mechanic and really have no mechanical background, so the whole thing was a learning experience

11.what was the hardest part of the install?
Tapping the oil pan, i swear that took me like 2-4 hours, i was about to punch someone in the face. That and getting the turbo assembly mounted to the block, the alternator gets in the way

12. what kit do u have ?
Turbonetics Stage 1 for the A/T

13.how many miles till a problem happen if any?
like in the question above, the blown seal happened about 7k miles into it.
But turbonetics has a 1 year/12k mile no fault no hassle warranty, so it's all good.
