Talking Turbonetics install

Have a quick question for those of you that have/had the turbonetics kit. How was the install process? About how long did it take? I'm droppin it off w a pretty reputable shop here in az and would like to know what to expect. Anybody have any #'s with this kit on the stock motor paired w a greddy evo exhaust? Thats going to b my set-up to start and really lookin forward to it, would really like to know how everyone else is enjoyin it!?!?!

doubt it will be done in 2 days, especially if u have any gauges, tuning, custom exhaust, clutch, utec install etc. if you doing just the kit, I would say 1 week realisticly. shops are busy and usually work on mutiple jobs and run into problems. but then again the turbonetics kit is pretty easy to install from what I know. just check hour many hours they bill you for.

I have known a few people that have had it back in 2-3 days... I guess it depnds on the shop and the additional stuff you are getting installed at the same time.

Why do you have 3 threads started on the turbonetics kit for the past 2 days? I really doubt you've done your research.

I'm doing it myself starting saturday morning, if everything isn't installed by sunday night I'm going to be very unhappy. so 2 days for me, but then again, i insatalled all of the gauges last weekend and that took quite a while. I'm also waiting to install the piggy back until i'm at the shop to get tuned.

Why did your last thread get closed?

Anyways look in my sig for what you want. That's with a very modified GReddy EVOII exhaust, UTEC, 650cc injectors, and Tial 38mm wastegate w/open dump.

Get a 7/16" stubby gear wrench for the v-band clamps, and a long T-shaped allen wrench with a swivel ball tip for that one allen bolt on the turbine flange.

I would say for just the turbo kit 8 to 10 hours the kit is really easy to install.
What year z is that kit going on.

Like that. Notice the ball on the end, allows you to turn it from an angle. I found one that was perfect at Ace hardware and made that bolt so simple to tighten where it was nearly impossible before.
