Would putting a guage on a narrowband sensor have any real benefit? If so, I might change my auto-meter to a 3-guage and get an A/F guage in addition to Boost and EGT.

Wideband (or EGT) (2)
Fuel Pressure (3)
Oil Temp (4)
Water Temp (5)

Basically you add some drilled out spark plug non-foulers to the O2 bungs. It ends up basically spacing the probe of the rear O2 sensors out about 2". By doing this you take the O2 probe just far enough out of the exhaust stream so that the change it is looking for in the lean rich signal is read correctly. Its a relatively simple mod and works well on various Nissan motors even those with a wideband O2. These are pre-welded in the bungs on all Turbonetics kits....bottom line=no O2 SES light.
Also, for the kits sent without the O2 fix, will Turbonetics provide it at no charge?
Your SES is on in your vids, if it's not an O2 code I might be concerned.
On a lighter note, I love this system. The turbo pulls low, temps stay normal and it makes gobbs of tq down low.

An update on the group buy:
Turbonetics told AAM that our kits had shipped out almost two weeks ago, so I set an install for the end of the month... Come to find out, Turbonetics is out of v-band clamps for the kits and haven't even shipped them yet. No telling when they get these in. To make my install date I'm going to have to buy these three clamps (almost $150) and pay for overnight shipping.
I think these are the same clamps that were missing in previous shipments? I wish I had someone I could contact at Turbonetics directly and put some fire in their @$$. They build these kits like old people f***.

Say this isnt so?!!! That just sucks!! This is just tourture! I called T-netics maybe a week and a half ago and they told me they were going to ship them in the mid month so I was thinking mine was already in the mail. I hate being at the mercy of a company. Maybe we'll get lucky and they will receive the clamps by Mon. so the kits will get shipped out next week.(fingers crossed)

I can't wait that long. My install is supposed to be going on the 31st.
The worse part is they told us they were shipping out over a week ago...
Do you have a contact I can call directly at turbonetics? I'd like to talk to someone there.

I'll just say that so far dealing with Turbonetics has been a nightmare. Their service sucks, and they just don't seem to care about sending out their product in a timely manner.
This kit had better be worth it.
