would go with aps tt with garrett turbo's but there internally wastegated ftl. so i'll prolly just go with the greddy tt and customize it some.

nice. im just hoping to make 450whp. whats your piston/rod setup on your built engine? im going with arias and either eagle or pauter just trying to justify paying twice as much for em though lol.
are you running the 440cc injectors that come with the kit or did ya go ahead n upgrade them as well?

I was running 550 injectors on my Turbonetics kit making 460whp. I have The Arias ED pistons and the Eagle H-Beam rods. The pistons I won't go cheap on. The Eagle connecting rods will take anything you can throw at them and they are lighter than the Pauters..

sweet thanks for the info. my plan is to sell my turbonetics kit install the greddy upgrade the injectors, walboro 255 fuel pump, switch to an hks bov and maybe upgrade the wastegate not sure yet. the greddy comes with tial 38mm right?
what exhaust system you got on yours? i currently got the tanabe ultra medallion titanium exhaust and i love the way it sounds. I've been trying to find a true dual titanium but havent been having any luck.

All you guys with current smoking issues, I talked to Reggie at Turbonetics tonight and he asked if everyone who currently has issues with their turbo would contact him via PM. His screen name here is blk180sx We spoke about the options and he will gladly explain what can be done. This includes those out of warranty. If you are currently having no issues but are close to warranty expiration you can PM him as well. He may not be able to take care of anything right away as he would like to take care of those with issues first. To briefly explain what is planned, a rebuild of the turbo to include a wet bearing section. I don't want to speak for Reggie on the details of what will be included at cost so I will just ask that you PM him and he can work with you on the whole process.

You're wrong. Plain and simple.
FYI, the whole reason for the install of my water cooled bearing housing on my car was to test fitment on the Z for the actual water lines, and ultimately to make sure the setup worked properly. This was discussed WELL before any of these recent threads were started. I certainly know that Rob and I have discussed this issue for a while, and he's been giving information to Turbonetics not only of our own findings, but from feedback here on the forums.
Jetpilot has done nothing but inflame the situation, and has gone about it in the wrong way. I personally know the real issue with Jetpilot's car and the repeated oil burning was not what he lead everyone to believe.
And you, with your constant prodding and over-opinionated ranting on an issue that you have no say or business voicing your narrow minded opinion in, should take your trollish behavior elsewhere. You're just trying to incite drama here, as you consistently have in other threads. There's no reason for you to be taking any of this so personally other than to incite a flame war for your own enjoyent. Pretty sad to say the least...

again as i said.. had this thread not been posted.. no one would have given a **** about these poor guys who already tried to get something done..
do you need glasses? did you read the thread? did you see how many people said they don't know what to do now? because they can't get help and they are lost?
