Default Turbonetics ST

I am looking at spending about $8-10k on a turbo and internals. After doing some searching and reading on the forums, I have decided to go with the Turbonetics kit w/ Clutch Masters Stage 3. It would do what I want, and from what I have read, I wouldn't have to replace the internals.

I was doing some looking around on different sites comparing the prices, and found taht vividracing.com is the cheapest; however, the picture they have shown is different from the picture shown on alteredatosphere.com and intensepower.com. Does anyone know why this is?

I did a quick search, but nothing came up. Thanks!

Save money for next GT-R[/QUOTE ] I’m still trying to find the intelligence behind this statement. Turbonetics has great customer service and great resource info available publicly on all there products and the member network is vary tight

WTF MAN GO KILL YOUR SELF, turbonetics has a great system do not let anyone else tell you ant diffrent. I had a shop telling me the turbonetics was a piece of crap because the prefer APS ST. But be careful and have fun with the car and hope to see some turbo numbers soon.

Why would they sell a kit if they knew that there's is going to be problems with it? Just don't make no sense.

OK Turbonetics bashing hour i see!
1. all of the turbo kits have there faults YES OR NO?
2. Have you your self gone turbo?
3. If so why try to make your self good but agreeing with someone elses opinion? Form your own
4. I am sure you know what i am about to say "GO KILL YOUR SELF BIOTCH"

You got my comments all wrong. I know turbonetics is a reputable co. and know what they are doing so if they think they are making a bad kit , why would they sell it? I was laughing at vn_350z on his comment, not with him! nuff said

Wow keep us updated on your progress. Do you have the TN kit as a base or is your complete kit custom?

Blah whats to say that hasnt been said. I'll make it simple.

Miaplaya= 30k miles with Turbonetics kit (50k total) Those 30k miles include two magazine editors test, two drag strip days, several road course days, drift events, daily flogging, etc. Never an issue.
