Can you say exactly how much it cost you for the kit, guages etc in total?

 

Me and NINJA-Z will be at Z1 Motorsports tomorrow afternoon (probably after 4:30 GA time). You should drop by. I am having them retune my Vortech setup!

 

haha, zach, didnt i ask you about this a while back?

 

Brave man. Congrats! I wish I can intall my own kit too...

Can you post where you had to trim off the headlight bracket? and a closer shot of the turbo of course

 

I guess so!!

 

Congrats on the successful self install! It took me almost 3 days and I had help!

 

can you use cats at all? Is Turbonetics waiting for CARB certification, or is this kit just for LAW BREAKERS!!!???

 

There is a cat version of the kit avail. But it is currently not CARB approved.

 

Nice man, the install looks clean. Good job installing it yourself, I wish I had that kind of know-how (and tools)

 

breakin' the law... breakin' the law!

 

Jonesboro (Clayton county), and well I am not doing it solo... Always should have a friend around to help you out and what not. Not trying to be mean, but I am planning to do the install with two others who have previous experience with boost/gauges and didn't want the possible distractions if others came to hang out like most of our install meets (cause more time is spent messing around then working on the car)...

Once again usually with basic bolt-ons we have install meets so everyone can get together but this install we must take with ease and focus cause it is alot invested

 

MIAPLAYA ..... Does theTurbonetics have a fitment issue with a Bola True Dual Exhaust system? Thanks!

 

Yes technically it does. Because the kit merges the flow of both headers into one pipe to feed the turbo and then runs the exhaust out via a single downpipe everything forward of the stock midpipe is replaced. This includes the y pipe and cats. In order for the Borla True Dual to work you would need to have a shop fab up and reverse y pipe to feed each of the two pipes. it can and has been done before.

 

well i have some shitty news... i saw a puddle of oil under the car this morning so i pulled the gravel shield thing off and its leaking from where the T goes into the block at the oil pressure sending unit... i drained the oil and took it out and there is a hairline crack there on the threads that opens up when i tighten the T in there. PLEASE someone give me some good news... any way to repair this??? DONT tell me i have to replace that part of the block. what do you call that part neways??

 

The upper oil pan you mean. Was it cross threaded when you installed it?

 

All i have to say is your my Idol.... And a ****en Pimp

 

no it wasnt cross threaded... it didnt even want to go in at 1st, it would start to go then pop itself out like the T was too big, but finally it started. i really dont think i overtightened it because there is still more than 1/2 the threads from the T showing. i just turned until it was snug. so MIA how bad is this??? can u replace that upper pan without pulling the motor??

 

I believe so. Its going to be a beatch but you should be able to. Call Greg Vogel over at Mossy Performance 1-866-55-MOSSY. he can get you a good price on it if it needs to be replaced.

 

is there anything you would try to repair it before i decide to replace it?? this really sucks.

 

Not sure if it can be welded since it is cast aluminum...I will ask around though..
