LMFAO!!!

TN ers defending Turbonetics = silly

Directly from the Turbonetics website:
"Turbonetics' Nissan 350Z turbo system is the first and only production single turbo system available. Utilizing our proprietary ceramic ball bearing turbocharger, this system outperforms all twin turbocharger kits currently on the market."

LOL! This BS is still posted on their site and we all know it's not true! Turbonetic's marketing hype has claimed a lot of victims... and apparently some AC lines too.

I might be willing to put up with the Turbonetic kit's flaws/eccentricities, including burnt AC lines, if the kit actually outperformed the twin turbo kits out there. But it doesn't.

GReddy twin turbo kits put out about the same power at their stock boost. Turn up the boost and tune and that's where twin kits outshine the TN kit. No biggie.

Right. The turbonetics kit puts down about 380whp on stock boost which is 8.5psi. This is more than the TT kits do on the stock boost levels with the base map that comes with the kit. Yeah, it's stretching the truth because you can change that with a few mods and/or tune on the other kit, but it's still true to a point.

Don't think you're smart because you just now noticed that or anything.

Yeah, that's interesting because the stock motor greddy kits that I've seen and ridden in hit full boost around the same time my car does. Any difference is negligible, and if you know how to drive a turbo car by keeping it in its power band this doesn't matter much anyway.

lol..I'm not a big fan of Turbonetics(has nothing to do with the quality of the kits), but this made me LOL IRL..before you call BS on something you might actually read a bit into it.

On a side note, why is this thread still open?

actually it produces just as much whp and more tq in the stock block... so its not bad... out the box on a stock block its better and cheaper than greddy

this thread is reateded, i never had any proble with my kit, had it profesionally installed and its all well...a lot of the problems poeple have were on the DIY installs, where ...who knows if there is a "screw up" somewhere or what not... could be driving habits.... many things...

only thing i am not a fan is how long stg2 is taking. but regarless... it will be here

Aye thats why I lol'd at his post. TNetics kits are not bad, every manufacturer has a flaw somewhere. I don't 'dislike' Tnetics I'm just not a big fan of single turbo's (personal preferance). Seems like every thread with the name Turbonetics in it turns into a TN bash.

If I'm not mistaken here I posted this somewhere else but. The new Moddified mag. has a VQ powered 240 with the stage 2 TN kit in it..high boost @ 640hp range. Soooooo I would imagine if its new in the mag it can't be a one off kit....Closer than you think.
