Those are Dynojet numbers and I do not know what MAP is used. My tuner dealt with TurboXS to get car running correctly. This was my second UTEC that was running real rich at any acceleration and tuner had to deal with manufacture to get fixed.

I know they were supposed to be testing a different compressor a few weeks ago.

My lips are sealed and all I can say is wow.

I would hate to think that someone has been saving for a STS kit (myself) and now it has been determined that the STS turbo is a piece of garbage...

The last 800 posts in this thread. This is what I get from those posts:

1) The test cars completed by CIN were a success with some minor alterations.

2) *TBD outside forum due to FI TOU*

3) The price of the STS kit is $2000 above the pre-production target of $3500.

4) The production kits sent out were missing parts and were impossible to get from STS.

5) Critical parts were defective from STS and the customer service end is not cooperative.

This was the perfect kit for my needs, Someone convince me otherwise!

i'd have my reservations about buying this kit.... there are plenty of other COMPLETE kits out there with great customer service, costs the same, and have been successfully installed on countless cars.

I finally got to see this kit in person yesterday at a car meet as Jon (i have no idea what his screen name is here) from NC drove down here to Orlando to have a local shop perform their magic on his UTEC. He made some very powerful dynojet numbers at that shop for stock block. The sound the kit/exhaust made...I really wasn't a fan of. But there was no denying it was very quick.

Turbonetics $5,350?

Last I checked the center-routed STS kit was ~$5500?

i believe the word complete was used and that usually reffers to a system that comes with an engine management solution. I don't think the reflash counts as a complete engine management solution

yeah I think that was a good demonstration of the STS kit going up against a turbonetics kit. I still would like to know what kind of numbers the TN was putting down and what boost level

well the TN kit costs 4500-4750 shipped? add a utec and it comes out to about the same maybe a little more. this combo is more of a complete kit than the sts imho, because its a straight foward install no need for modifications and custom parts to get it to work right, which will cost a shiny penny. TN customer service not only exists but has gotten high regard in the community.

and this is only one kit, plenty of others out there. though they will be a little pricier, its well worth it considering what you get with the STS. not trying to bash any owners of the STS, just my take on it

my kit didn't call for any additional modifications or custom parts which didn't cost anything extra. The labor for install on this is quite a bit cheaper actually
