Sick of seeing "thinking bout buying" topics so i
So often I see threads about people thinking of buying a turbo and which one should I get and what not, well considering I was once one of them untill two weeks ago! I ordered my turbo kit before I left on vacation (left on 23rd) and it arrived the next wed. Got back and could not wait to get to work ( my parents own a shop where i work so i had it sent there) today! Im installing it on thursday w/ help from my dad. Ill post pics but heres the setup I went with and everything under my hood....Treadstone turbo kit, Agency power crank pulley, samco coolant hoses, Hose Techniques dress up kit, Ingalls stiffy, CF valve cover, Weapon R billet tanks, Koyo Aluminum Radiator, DC Sports strut bar, AEM billet oil cap and battery tie down, Greddy radiator cap and air diffusion panel, Autometer gauges, custom gauge pod setup, TRD shortshifter. I have a few other things but not have to do with the engine and performance. Ill post pics on thursday morning.
Get some pics and vids when ur done!

Im not by all means new to this, but then again we learn something new everyday. Out of curiousity could I still put new motor mounts in or would it be pointless? To my knowledge everything would help so please correct me if Im wrong. Also thank you for the feedback I have been on here a long time, but didnt join till recently, I appreciate the kindness even though Im a newer forum member. Look forward to tons of pics. Thanks again ~Blake

I was debating between the 2, and asking alot of people, and found one guy that actually had the ingals, he said it was allright, then got the mounts, loved them, and then got rid of the ingalls because the mounts helped more.
Plus, some high power guys say the power they are putting down would snap the ingalls. I guess it squeeks or something to.
My friend is getting the ZPI engine limiter soon on his boosted tC, so we will be able to compare, but that thing kinda scares me. I think our engine should have SOME movement.

Slvr06tC - If you still have a chance to get in there and put the motor mounts in i would highly suggest it and then there is no need for the ingalls.....like mr meaty said high whp guys will tell you that there are better benefits from having those over the ingalls which can bend or snap......If you have access to a lift.....then go for it but be advised the rear mount is a PITA.....hope that helps

I only have the front in now and it makes a world of difference. Hopefully doing the rear this weekend...in my garage...on jackstands!!!
but yeah, if yoru only planning on 250tq or so, the ingalls is better then nothing, I guess. But motor mounts is the RIGHT way to do it.
I must say, I am very impressed at how quickly you recieved your kit. I'm still waiting (over a month now) for the final pices of mine, but the hold up was mostly due to coating and the hand welded manifold. gotta love how quickly they can crank out cast manis eh?

Yea I was very impressed to, seeing as how when I ordered Jason told me that the turbo was on national backorder "but theirs will be in days after my order" which I work for a shop, we sell performance parts, I know what that means lol but sure enough two days later got the e-mail saying it was shipped. So I owe a thanks to Treadstone! Well today is the day, my dad should be back shortly from some runnig around he had to do and so begins the install.........
