so sick! This kit looks real promising.

question: what power levels is this kit good to? and did you do your own install? or did you have your tuner do the install, as well?

It dpends on the turbo. With the T4 6765 ($250 option) you will reach the limit of pump gas. With race gas one should be able to go deep in to the 600whp range. Supras have hit 800whp with this turbo and race gas.

The standard turbo is a T4 6262, and it should yield 550whp no problem.

thanks for the info. what is the difficulty of install? Could someone (ME) with no mechanical skill, tackle this with the right tools and such?

It is always best for the end user to install the kit themselves. This helps the person understand the kit, and if something needs to be serviced down the road they feel comfortable removing a component.

If you can use basic hand tools and follow instructions, it would not be difficult. As Vas said in his review, if you can remover the catalytics from your car, you should be able to install this kit.

This alone makes this particular kit very very very attractive. No pulling the motor for hard to reach manifold bolts which also would limit leaks, low intake temps, overall lighter weight kit when compared to going TT.

I think he might be saying that with warning haha, getting the catalysts off the car is no easy tasks with basic hand tools, especially if they've been through 50,000 miles of heat cycles without being taken apart it'll be a very daunting task. I've found it easiest to have a 4 foot extension and a wobbly socket w/ a 3/8 air gun to get the pass side cat off.

With time and patience anything can come apart, but when you look at the catalyst you think, "yeah i'll have this thing off in no time". So yeah if you can get the catalysts off you could install ANY kit haha

When I test fited this kit on a G the catalytics came off easy. The car had 80,000 miles and was being driven throgh our long (8month) winters. Not saying that they are all like that, but it really is not that difficult. Removing them may end up being the hardest part of the install.

9K when mine came off and ended up with some broken bolts. Dunno if the HR is worse then the DE. But it sucked.

It's called a b r e a k e r b a r. Get one. "ha ha" If you do get stuck, it's $20 for an exhaust shop to torch off a bolt. No worries.

Who are you FredB with 20 some posts? You have an air gun but you think taking off cats is hard. Hmmm.... Sounds like you work for a shop and you don't like guys doing their own work. Your post history is telling. Hating with a smiley face and a "haha" at the end is still hating. Please refrain.

Here is to who ever is wondering how the WG and turbo sound. PURE SEX!!

Heres a video a buddy of mine took.. This video is with the WG vented to atmo. But I also Have done something custom to the WG to silence it down but keeping performance the same. ( I will make a new thread very soon with a review and pix! about it )

This is taken with the iphone4.. and at some point in the video it just doesnt pick up sound because its so loud! lol

Btw this was not at 8.5-9 psi 415/400rwtq. I had to use another setting which is around 6, due to my exhaust being too small and restrictive. This was up to about 100mph+ . I will take more videos tomorrow with my HD cam. But yeah enjoy this vid for now!
