Jeffie - is the rust on the turbo from the hood vents, or a pooling effect that members with stock hoods may run into. +1 on Dave's dyno - 37X ~ 400whp on DJ.

Jeffie did a huge solid for the PL community as the only real knock on this kit was the the instructions weren't as photo complete as those of the TN kit. MANY DIY installers refer to jeffie's thread for guidance on thier installs. Woot for the Mid-A!!!

Congrats on being one of the few to know when enough HP is enough...

 

Congrats on the update Jeff. It sounds awesome when someone like you takes matters into their own hands, installs their own kit, busts out a few swears here and there during the install but follows through.

Not only that but both the car and kit are happy one year later! It doesn't matter if the car went 2,000 miles or 20,000. The point is you put it through the paces with enough pressure to burst pipes if the kit or car weren't solid.

Kudos bro!! Guys like you, make guys like me want to learn more so I can be the guy like you doing a project like this

( if that makes sense )

 

Guessing its from washing it and not drying the turbo off. Outside of that I dont drive it in the rain other then the day I had it tuned since it stormed on the way home.

As to knowing when enough power is enough..... I have a GSX-R1000, my Z can't touch it. 100% stock bike. If I have a desire to go REALLY fast, I get on the bike.

+ I'm not a highway runner, not on my bike, or in cars. I'd much rather get busted for doing 90 in a 35 then 160 in a 55.

 

I've never done a turbo install, I just made sure I had more then enough time and took it step by step with no hurry.

I get A LOT of pms from people about the PL kit, it seems the ones with the most problems are trying to install the kit in 1 weekend and run into problems that I easily figured out out AFTER walking away and coming back with a fresh mind, mostly HOW THE F DOES THIS PIPE FIT HERE??????

there's like 2mm worth of space from my trans and the down pipe. it's Friggin tight!

 

d00d, the chick in your avatar is hot!

 

yes some how they managed to fit 4 me a 3.5" one...with out bringing out the "hammer"

 

That's because your trans is smaller then mine



esta mismo que tu pene

 

Very good stuff, thanks for the update Jeffie!

Glad to hear everyone is satisfied with their kits and making dope power, Bottom line PowerLab delivers.

Jeffie is the king of all DIY'ers on this website, almost every PowerLab thread references Jeffie's build thread!

 

Thanks for the update Jeffie. I for one used you build thread on my Install. Powerlab does deliver. Running strong on 9 psi. Stock block.

glad to hear your ride is doing good, fuzzy!

 

This makes me think I may be able to do my own Turbo install

 

hey jeffie im seriously thinking of going with the PL system in the next couple of weeks. seems to be a damn good system but i know its a tight fit. can you tell me if your having any rattling or issue with noises coming from piping hitting because of its tight fit.thanks

 

Good to hear that the kit is still running good Jeffie. I just hit over 10k miles on mine and it still runs like the first day I installed it! I daily drive mine 60miles a day so the mileage is adding up but it's damn fun to drive.

As mentioned above Jeffie's thread FTW! Saved my butt while trying to install mine. Really awesome guy.

 

Nice! That neighborhood looks verrrryyy familiar.

 

does anyone have the link to this jeffie thread?
