My kit has about 5000 kms already... holding up super well!!!! Testing for any leaks tonight and if I don't post about it, means all is well! =) From the first day after install until now, my AF and Boost has been perfect!

My only other engine mod that remained with the kit is an MD Spacer and I should have some UR Pulleys soon.

Quote from installer, "I've done about 3 GReddy TTs and 1 APS TT and this kit is by far more superior when it comes to completeness, installation and on some parts quality"

I was just wondering, how much rwhp and tq do you have? What boost do you drive at, what boost do you race at? When do you hit full boost?
thanks in advance!!!

The last dyno I have was a Dynapack shown 371 RWHP and 357 ft/lb. I drive and race at 8 PSI. I hit full boost between 3200-3500

PLz PLZ answer my question i track my car every couple of months, its so important that i know this question, CAN i run this kit at the track and really expect no problems, i assume radiator would be a good idea but nothing more plz tell me, i must must know i want a turbo kit so bad but im so afraid i recently blew my motor n/a so turboing it scares me, plz help me guys, i dont want to have to deal with this stuff again, im not looking for 400 to the wheels im looking just to have enough to be a little faster for the track and everyday.and i dont screw around with boost levels and stuff what it comes with is how it stays, so give me the scoop if you think its good for the track and stuff oh and a number to someone that would know what to buy aside from the kit to make me run safely at the track would be great too thanx guys, and mia i would like to talk to whoever you got your stuff installed with, they seem to know alot.

If you want no problems, install it how it came out of the box, leave their suggested boost and install it their way. Make sure you have your ecu tuned to your other mods also and if at the track dont run continously turbo and engine can over heat. Once done with your run pop your hood leave your car on for 5 mins let turbo cool down (get turbo timer) then shut off 20-30 mins then run again. Thats if you want to be extremely safe. Should have no problems, lastly dont worry about it just go out there and have fun! If you worry it messes up your driving!

If you want to track this kit, I'd suggest upgrading your cooling system. You'd want to look at getting an aftermarket radiator, an oil cooler, and some kind of vented hood. I might also suggest getting a larger oil pan (preferably one that's baffled with cooling fins).

Just from seeing (somewhat firsthand) what miaplaya does to his car, I think his car is holding up well. What impresses me is that 3 people from sport Z flogged his car for three hours straight and i think his temp guage didn't move. Not to mention he pretty much ****** his car out to other people (t'netics, protocav, jimrhit, myself...i'm sure there's more I can't think of right now). If I let that many people drive my car i'd be a nervous wreck.

I really want to bring my car out to autocross after I get my kit in. I think I'll heed taurran's and D350Z10's advice a bit and at least upgrade the radiator, and get an oil cooler and turbo timer.

Was even considering doing forged internals, but thinking it's probably overkill. I don't plan to turn the boost up. Thoughts anyone?

Hey you guys with the kit please see the following thread and post up PLEASE. Also if you can attach a dyno to your post that would make the thread super informative. Thanks much.

You should have bought an APS (ducking). Just kidding bro. How'd you do against the built Mustang and the GS430?

First run agasint the built Mustang was bad. I went from second like an idiot. Had to shift almost immediately. Second run we were about dead even till we hit traffic. Guy had heads, cams, Vortech at 9 PSI I think, upgraded ignition, shorter final drive, and some other stuff I think. According to him the made 435 RWHP. The GS 430 I have been told y a friend makes like 450-475 and from 80-140 he picked up just under a car from me. That was going from 5th gear at 80. Consequently on the way to Turbonetics day I roasted a pretty well modded EVO. From 5th at 60 I let him get on it first he jumped a fender by the time went WOT but that changed fast. I pulled a car on him by 6th.
