Default Turbonetics Tuner Kit

Anyone have the turbonetics tuner kit?? I want somewhere around 380-400 rhp... What supporting mods do i need with this kit? What size/brand fuel injectors? Should I get utec? Anything else I should worry about?

Walbro fuel pump, and at least 440cc Injectors, and an engine management of your choice-Emanage Ultimate/UTEC. Fuel return would be nice but not necessary at the goals you have.

Boost gauge should be considered mandatory. If you are unfamilar with a boosted car and EGT gauge wideband should be too. Both can be had for about $400. Turbo timer is a nice convinience and can be had for less then $100.

What I meant was if you are not familiar with a turbo car and reading an EGT gauge you should get a wideband as well. In this case I would just get a wideband. They are much more reasonable now price wise.

do your self a favor and get a new clutch to save your self a head-ache down the road, mine went out after 4k miles with turbonetics kit . (not fun having 400whp and have your clutch slipping.)

I would consider a Valve Body upgrade manditory. Ask around...there a several members using the Forged Performance VB upgrade.

Link: http://www.forgedperformance.com/sto...cat=261&page=1

As Mia mentioned, boost gauge, and wideband AF gauge would be the essential gauges. Happy to help if you have any questions...PM me.

Wow it's so funny how this thread was treated way differently than usual. Usually when a guy posts something like this a bunch of people jump on "USE THE SEARCH!" and this time a woman posts and everyone is so inclined to help. Just thought it was funny.
