Default Hows the T-netics kit holding up?

This is for everyone who has the T-netics kit and has been up and running (even though it has been a real short time) How has it been doing? Have you been beating on it or have you been babying it? Any major pros and cons you would like to share. I might be buying this kit as soon as today, just really hesitant. (its alot of coin for me to drop) Any one have numbers from a dyno yet. I know T-netics is claiming 386 whp but I am a little sceptical I am thinking it is really going to be closer to 360 whp, so anything over that is a plus for me. Thats how I see it anyhow.

Read the two threads about pics of Turbonetics, and just received my Turbonetics kit. Sounds like they have issues with fitment, several missing parts, running rich, and heat. They also are receiving bad customer service from Turbonetics.

Could just be the initial batch, only time will tell.

Default Dyno Chart

It's a little amazing that Turbonetics is shipping kits for which an official dyno chart has never been published. All I have seen are two dramatically different unlabeled charts supposedly from their preliminary testing. Since performance is one of the most important reasons for buying one brand over the other I would expect a dyno chart before sales begin. As I recall there were a couple of buyers who were going to dyno their own but those also haven't yet been posted.

Where are the guys at? It makes me a little uneasy when before the install you couldnt get everyone to stop talking about it and now you cant find anyone talking about it.(lately) Is that good or bad? I hope the only reason Mia and others with the kit are just not posting is becasue they are out enjoying it.

Well guys, how about giving folks some time. Some folks just got there kits like last week, I would understand these kinds of threads like maybe after a couple of weeks/months.

Though I do agree on being let down on kits being shipped missing parts, you pay a price for getting the whole darn thing complete... Not so you can make extra trips to places to get what you need

Well I have had my car with the kit installed for over a week now. No issues to speak of. Car runs strong and fine. Yes the kit is tuned to be rich for safety. Heat has not been an issue for me to date. Even after SEVERAL passes some even done by someone else driving the car. The "official dyno chart" that was done on my car cannot be released due to it being part of the Sport Z Mag shootout. My car will be back on a dyno as soon as I get some time. I had a rather personal and horrible situation come up this week and it axed any plans I had for my car this week. the car is fine but my personal life is not. I will get to a Dyno as soon as I can...
