Ok point taken but personally I have my Z for Drag and Street Racing, sometimes for Circuit and I dont care if the HP begin on 4000 or 3000, after is on 5000 is OK for me... if you notice our Z drop only to 5000-5200 rpm's between shift's so for me the only turbo lag I worry about is on a roll on a street race that begins under 4000 rpm's but is not comun for me so the Turbo lag is not a factor that I worry about

Default I found some pics!

These aren't the best, but might help our hunger. Can anyone see that dyno?

Back from SEMA guys. Got lots of pics of everything including this kit. pictures are uploading now. I'll post a link when all done. All the pics of the kit on the mockup motor are final production piece pictures. That is what the kit will look like when it gets to your door. i'm not even going to bother wasting my time responding to all the people talking ish. If the kits not for you...don't buy it. I want this kit and so do several other people here. None of you has driven in this car, I have. No not everyone is expected to take my word for it and I wouldn't dream of asking anyone to. When I get this kit installed I'll be VERY happy to dyno it, take it to the track, Streets, whatever. If any TT cars APs, Greddy, etc that are "out of the box" tuned want to come run with me we can get a nice little comparison done. No i'm not sponsored by Turbonetics. No I'm not getting a kit for free. I like what I see so i'm posting info on it. I'm placing a pre-order for one in the next week or two and price is the same as everyone elses. I'm just trying to help everyone out and keep things fair as far as threads go. fooch I got as many wheel pamphlets as i could carry dog so PM me the address and i'll send them to you. I came home with just over 300 pics from SEMA. My laptop melted down and now I have 162. I also managed to hit something on the freeway on the way home thanks to some lane hogging f@cks so now i got to figure out if the noise in my car is a f@cked up exhaust or something worse. Either way my car is parked till tomorrow when I can get it on a lift. Aplogize the curt and rather un-emotional responses but I have a f@cked up car. A toasted laptop harddrive. And the Mossy Show is a week away.

Sorry to hear about everything that went wrong. Sounds like my trip to carlisle last year. On the way how I hit a turkey...a freaking turkey on the interstate.

Thanks a lot though for the pamphlets. You rock!
Also, did you grab the pamphlet from the Turbonetics booth?

That is one bad a$$ set up. Twin-turbo would definitly be better, but the money you can save makes this kit worth getting. Also, what makes me like it more is the fact that there are less parts to mess with.

The more aftermarket parts you throw on your car, the more will go wrong. I didn't see any close up pics of the dyno though.

No prob...Got my car figured out. Apparentely whatever I hit was hard enough to bend my frame brace so that it was constantly touching my exhaust. Pulled it off, bent/hammered it down. All better. Million thans to protocav for helping me out. That was clutch!!

The dyno chart on display in the overboost.com pics looks to be the same sheet posted early on in the this thread. They look identical. For what it is worth, it was said to be an initial dyno chart of the kit before an changes and when MIAPLAYA road in the car it was generating boost at 3k RPM, full at 4k.

Very true. I did not notice the dyno chart until I saw it in one of my pics. I should have grabbed one but I was busy fondling the chrome black piping of the kit. After seeing that piping color I have decided that my engine bay color of choice is chrome black/carbon fiber....
