From what I've heard, the T-netics kit has been hitting 8psi boost at or around 3200 rpms. I guess I'll put this to rest when I make some quality videos once mine is installed.

The car comes alive about 4,500rpm and pulls hard through 7,000rpm. It depends on the driver and how they drive the car, I think Jason was conservative with mine considering his Z was under the knife in my shop at the time.LOL
If you look at the dyno overlay between a Vortech and our Turbonetics Z, the under the curve #'s just blast the Vortech by as much as 80whp/90tq by 4,800rpm.

My boost gauge is accurate. At ambient temp of 70 degrees F my car is making a full 8 PSI at 3200 RPMS EVERY TIME. I have posted a few videos of this as well. My next mod is going to be a camera mount so I can get some better videos.

I find that hard to beleive. Extremely hard... Your telling me your fully spooled 1/3 through the RPM range and carry that all the way to redline? I would question that even on a Roots blower, but I just can't accept that for a turbo.

Just didn't notice the #'s he had posted, was on track with how we boost up slower at altitude. When he posted back " I'm at full boost @ 3,200rpm" I picked up on it. In addition, with discussion at the shop of our Z boosting, our boost on the Z at 3,200 was arround 4lbs. We have a hand held which passenger holds, sorry for the mistake.
Mia, none of my people are dumping on you. You have been helpful and informative which all members thank you for. This is a discussion group forum and topic discussions breed disagreements.
I said earlier it seems impossible for a small displacement motor to be able to spool a 6.1 turbo to a full 8lbs of boost @ 3,200rpm.
I also asked others to chime in with their comments and experiences with this turbo, lets see.

Questions:
1) So the turbonetics kit COMES with the reflash? Or is that extra?
2) If it comes with the reflash, how does it work? We send in the ECU to have it reflashed for FREE?
3) Im closer to technosquare, can I just reflash it there?
4) What else does the reflash do other than the fuel and rev bump? remove rev limiter?
I did read through the page..but all the bashing and arguing is giving me a headache...

Yep, one of the first things you do is send the ECU to T-netics for reflash. They provide a Fed-Ex shipping container with shipping labels, so there is no cost to ship. The reflash isn't free, it's cost is built into the purchase of the kit.
That's probably a question for Brad at T-netics, or MIA.
It alters the fuel and timing maps to account for the increased airflow, as well as raise the rev limiter and remove the speed limiter.
