I really want ur imput about this kit. i have heard some pros and cons about this kit. anyone out there with some experience on this kit?

 

i know they recently re-did their chargepiping to not have to cut the bumper. thats about as far as my knowlage goes.

 

the one i bought, is slightly used, and u do have to cut out the bumper a bit. how much of a gas mileage do u get on ur turboed tc?

 

my buddy used to get around 280 per tank. my kit isn't on yet so i couldn't tell you.

 

Make sure you get Fuel management with it.

 

?? U mean an ECU? cause i bought a Unichip Unit. would that do?

 

I have the kit and like it a lot. What year do you have? There were only a couple places that made install difficult, the first was the piece that connects the oil line to the block was not the right size. The second was the cutting for the intercooler(you have to take pretty big pieces out). I just reworked the pipes and now all is hidden and there is no cutting.

 

really? how long did it take u? whats ur gas mileage now? do u have pics? how much did u actually cut?...damn sorry for the amount of questions.


and i have an 06.

 

yeah what 101max said plus i had to move my radiator up like a 1/4 inch cause the fans got in the way of the turbo

 

Unichip works... if you can find a tuner who can tune it.

 

with my friends treadstone kit he had a problem with the compressor housing hitting the fan shrouds so you would need slim line fans.

 

Holy Crap! so this is not really a bolt on...more like a force on kit. i dunno if i should just install it or sell it, cause i had in mind it was pretty simple except for the cutting of the steel bar.

 

I didn't have problems with the fans at all, i am not sure why. It took a weekend to install though we did a lot of other stuff too so i would say maybe a day and a half. I get 24-26mpg. I will try to find some pics. There was a thread done about the pipe rework that has pics on it.

 

pics will help greatly. and u get 24-26mpg??? really? our cars come stock with that range. i figured with bigger injectors gas mileage would plummet.

 

You still will get decent gas milage as long as you don't boost all the time. You use the fuel when you start boosting.

 

^^ very true, I should mention that i drive on the highway a lot and don't go into boost all that often.

 

also, what ecu did u guys used for the kit? and bottomline, is the kit worth it?

 

I like mine a lot but I am sure there are people who feel differently

 

i get 300 miles per tank with that kit on a 08 tC

 

not true just bore out the braket and push fan away half inch
