I feel sorry for you, hopfully you have enough money for a new engine. This is why I have Greddy kit sitting in the garage, I dont have enough money to fix the car if it blows.

My guess: You'll get a new block, build up the engine, have 600 hp and run 9's with those driving skills of yours. Sorry to hear about the engine blowing ... makes me think twice about purchasing F.I.

I love the powerband the ST creates, the way boost comes on and the TQ is awesome. Cant imagine the rush of 15psi coming on its gonna be fun....

Im sorry to hear about what happened but it will be cool to see what you can do with your new setup.

Yes your beast a$$ TB sucked in all air and any small children around through the air duct...$hit happens some of us give up (sell Z-take back to stock) to things like this I wouldnt consider it

1- loose and missing intake bolts
2- loose and missing header bolts
3- loose radiator support bolts
4- loose torque converter bolts
5- missing bell housing bolts

saw you pulling a red RX-7(one w/cf hood) on streetfire ...no doubt your car is quick if can pull an rex..(not sure how built that rex was though.....but it didn't sound too stock)........anyways g/l on your new motor.....

I don't think TN caused Alberto's engine to fail, I think having a turbo in general did.
He could have owned a greddy or APS TT and it probably still would have failed. I think the TN kit itself is perfectly fine. Turbos in general generate a lot of peak torque really fast
Alberto, do you have an APS oil pan or are you using an oil pan spacer with your turbo?

Sure you can buy a piece pick one from the pics-btw I dont blame TN for this at all, like Sentry said I think any kit on my damn car would have blown eventually.

Maybe I will have to settle with a vortech instead although I was offered to have a 2 year/24k warranty offer on an f/i system with a good ems.
