oh snap, they bump this topic up again

...well, mines just need tuning and it should be good to go. my turbonetics runs good, no problems. I guess i learned how to control the stalling part of it-->just gas it a little.

 

There are NO issues with the Turbonetics kit. Most problems are install error and tuning. The kit in my opinion , is PERFECT in every way

 

Yeah, turbonetics probably the most complete kit...although its not factory - so there is gauranteed to be some issues.

As for my experiences, well, not cool. wasted a lot of money.

 

I second that, it is an awesome kit. Definatley perfect. The tuning is just ____ing me off. Did you ever dyno yours Munch after the install? Whaat numbers are you putting down?

 

munch got like 275-278 whp when he got his dynoed... i got 280 whp

 

how much boost is he running? What are you guys using to up the boost? Manual boost controller?

 

im runnin stock boost but i got a lil extra from the lack of exhaust back pressure so im runnin 9.4 psi... munch was running 8 psi on the dot when he got his reading...

 

That was when I bolted it on my car. I'm putting down Waaaaaay more than that now

 

Gimme a ride next time Munch?

 

yea well your 280ish is good - the other 2 guys on the forum that had 200 and 210hp ..... either the tune is way off or something is very wrong

 

Whenever you're ready bro

 

Yeah it doesnt make much sence that Munch's kit produced those numbers"just bolted on" compared to the 200-220's others get. I'm not trying to offend anyone but it has to be something with the install's. If they all leave the Turbonetics factory with the same tune how can there be a 60-80 whp difference?

 

Care to share your numbers with us

 

^^^ok, when u got those numbers before, were there any add-ons other than just the turbo kit?? what dyno was it ?? did you get tuned when you got those numbers??

 

No tuning was done, I had a 2.5 inch s-pipe and Megan Racing 2.5 inch exhaust. Everything else was stock with the turbo kit bolted on. The car was rich at 10.5-11.0 at WOT.

 

Sorry bro I won't even go there on this message board . My numbers I use as a tuning point for my car. Alex put my numbers out there..........................Me personally, I wouldn't have done it sorry .

 

You guys do have to keep in mind that even though people think their install is solid there could still be something wrong. Other things will impact the tune a bit. Type of gas, plugs, environment variables, state of the car pre-turbo. In reality what should be done is a before and after dyno to see what the total gain was with the turbo kit. I'm not saying the 200 number is good but my question is what did the car dyno pre-install?

 

Im not sure how much that matters because the dyno before hand would have to have been 110whp for it to be anywhere near correct....... and you know it wasnt.
