Will have to produce some pretty insane numbers responce and efficiency wise for me to justify that kind of a price jump. And who know, mabey they will 
But until I see those numbers back to back by a non turbonetics retailer then I will be happy with my garret unit

Small update... the Intake Mani is ready all polished and everything so I will pick it up Thursday and hopefully have pics up. The car is SO SO close to being done just small things needed to get to the result so I appreciate the patience guys! On the other tC we bought a new tC block and will be doing another build but more minor (Rods, Pistons and bearings) and head work (P&P,etc). The Turbo kit will remain the same but more boost obviously outta the t3/t4 Turbonetics kit. Its being done local so should finish up in a matter of weeks.
whats going on with this blue missile????

Its pretty much done just patchin some stuff up with the car visually. The tow truck guy scrapped my bumper so its gettin repainted soon. The Intake mani has been tapped for a vaccum and all done. My exhaust is just a 3inch open dp so I'm waitin for the muffler shop to get the 3inch pipe to finish the exhaust. Still tryin to decide between the DEZOD AEM EMS or go Hydra. Ill post some pics takin not to long ago. Car took a while cause the shop that was doin work was accused of sellin stolen parts but ended up just to be false allegations so that stalled the project for a little since my race axles and my custom intake manifold was taken to be checked by the detectives. Car is now coming along so Ill keep this thread fresh lol

Had it custom made by a guy locally. He built some amazing cars so I ask him and he made one. Thankfully it looks awesome and should work great. Its all aluminum and looks pretty much like a supra mani just not a big lol. He was willin to make more. I haven't said much yet cause strong results will show its proven. Ill do the pics in an hour. Just gettin outta work now and the computer I have here is "restricted"..... no **** lol

Sorry for the delay. Here is links for the pics since I don't have access to photobucket or other photo/image sites. These are a little old bout a few months back. The turbo housing will be ceramic coated and the manifold will be jetcoated as well. Some of the pics may show the manifold before the final welds since it was being fabbed to fit. Here they are and I will show more pics when its all ready
Work in progress....

Small update:
The car will be hopefully be started tomorrow as a Greddy Ultimate tuner is gonna be tuning the without a MAF so we'll see how that goes. Will be tuned for breaking-in so no big numbers yet lol.Now I am debating on goin with a 3inch exhaust all the way back with NO muffler or doing a 3 inch with a Apex-i N1 muffler.
