it is actually fairly different....i would think you know there is more to it than how the intake pipe is designed

I'm curious as well. TN stage 2 should be pretty nice GTK turbo, new gen w/g, it'll be hard to improve from a basic kit to that one for less.

My kit will still be a "Turbonetics kit", just customized. And thanks, I'm pretty good like that.

It's not only that. You should know.

Anyway, this thread is far enough off topic already. Please let us have a discussion on how we can make our cars better without giving you money.

it will be nice to see how much you bastardize your kit in the end.

and how much it will compare to the TN stg2

I do know, that's the thing, but do you know? I have nothing against turbonetics , or any other turbo kit manufacturer but i know in order to make big power for a solo company to take on the task of upgrading it would be very costly, I'm only trying to give my 2 cents from my own personal experience.

PS i give advice to many FI'ers in this forum without them giving me money, dont be so hostile...

I think his installed has already bastardized a TN kit a bit and he is just taking it further to see where he gets to. Its to bad he couldn't just do the stag2 at this point, but its not like he doesn't know a lot of what they are planing on upgrading...

But i mean, i know CRaig is very fond of turbonetics so even if he knows a lot of the changes in advance or he is doing some r&D himself he wont switch to another kit even if he know he could jsut go another route, and i am not even saying twins.

I don't know or care if my setup will be better than this PL turbo kit. I do know where my money is best spent and what I'll be happy with.

I DO think it's a bit presumptuous for someone affiliated with a vendor to come into a thread about turbonetics turbos and try to take advantage and push their kit. And of all people, try to talk ME into buying one.

It's about respect for board members and not trying to hijack threads.

I'll tell you what I'm trying when it's done, for now lets just talk about nitrous on the ST kit.

Im no TN rival, i've installed, supported, tuned, etc more TN kits then I can count, they are good kits I know where they are limited... I'm only giving advice from my own experience.

At this point I am just looking to do some tweaks to what I have until an option presents itself to get into the upper 500's. I am in no rush and I'm sure that JT can get me into the upper 400's.

I only paid 4200 for my kit shipped and at the time and I had no idea 1 year later I would have a built motor, but I do and if people like taurran and Perf. Factory can modify or tweak what I got to make me happy for less than the cost of a new kit prop's to them cause in the end I will be a happy camper

At any rate this thread is about installing nitrous on a Turbonetics kit. Intense Fab you don't appear to be a sponsor on this board and even if you are your posts about your kit have no place in a thread about a different turbo kit. If you want to discuss the merits of your turbo kit over others do it on your own thread. Craig is not going to be running the Stage 1 Turbonetics kit. In fact as it stands today Craig will be running a much larger turbo then the GT35R you include, a wastegate that is larger then the Tial 44mm you use, and intercooler that is larger then the core you are using and several other items which are drastically different then your kit. It would be nice if you can keep your comments to your own thread so this one doesn't go off topic any more then you have already taken it.

JT looking forward to the results with nitrous. What size shot do you plan to run?

is it going to be a "tease" of the stag2 kit what he will run?


obviously what u mentioned that Craig will be running is pretty expensive unless somebody has already R&D prefitted some of those components, the cost willb e higher. which was the point intense fab was trying to make just about pricing, but again he didn't know he was talking to Craig, who will not witch from Turbonetics even if if there is soo many more things better than it.... in any case at least this is not a switch to twins thing ST kit ftw! . His nick should tell you he is a sponsor, there are quit a few in the vendor threads that are not registered yet also

It has nothing to do with Craig not twitching from Turbonetics. Simply answered yes Craig will be running a new setup from Turbonetics that is intended to test some new items. The cost of Craigs setup is his own deal. If Intense Fab would like to plug their kit and how much "cheaper" they think its going to be then they should do so on their own thread. We've had enough infighting, bashing, and thread crapping recently and we certainly don't need anymore.

AJ is going to run a 50 shot on about 10 or 11 psi with his setup. Looking for 10's on the stock motor.
