I was told once the year is up it will cost you to have the turbo rebuilt.

Our kits used to come with T-netics turbos, but we ran into problems with them, so we stopped making it the default turbo. Now, we offer Innovative turbo as the default turbo in ur kits, but soon it will will be our own turbo line, which will use Garrett and ITS components!!

The ITS turbos have been nothing shy of stellar for us. One customer with an Innovative F2 DBB 54 Trim with a Stage 5 .63 A/R wheel made 258whp at 5 PSI on our kit.

I've had some major issues with Turbonetics, both their service and product. I'm not going to openly bash a company, but if you want details, PM me and I'll tell you the whole ordeal. Bottom line is that they refused to give me a new turbo (within the 1 year warranty period) and said I'm SOL. That's actually the main reason why I sold my car and got the mazdaspeed3.

If I didn't want to upgrade and stayed with the turbo that comes with the kit. Would I just do more tuning and up the boost(assuming 7-8psi after talking to Jeff a long time ago) to reach around the same whp level?
