Really, wow you would think it would at least come with that...

 

pe actually doesnt include a bov either, ill probably install one no amtter the kit just because im a *****.

 

Damn, I could have sworn the PE kits came with an HKS BOV...

 

Yeah, couldn't make out the BOV during shifts in the videos, could you hear it miaplaya??

As for the headers, I kinda have a feeling that all of the piping that is being routed back to the front of the engine will take up some of the space that is used by the aftermarket headers, especially the long ones like Crawfords. With all of the piping with the kit, there might not be the extra room that aftermarket headers use. Guess we will find out soon enough though.

This kit will have to come in at about $4500 to be a real competitive with everything out there, lets hope this is the case. The Greddy sitting at less than $5900 is still a good deal, and since the install will be similar in price, if the turbonetics is too close to $5000 for us, then there is no reason to not get the twins for $900 more. BOVs are only $160.

I have liked the single concept for a long time, but the price better be right. God, I got some decisions to make, lol.

 

Not that I'm an advocate of this kit, but it should install fro much less than the greddy. The greddy is a royal PITA to intall. Yes a BOV is ~$160 but you need to cover the cost of welding a BOV flange on the intake tube and minor plumbing. Of course if you do this yourself it's nearly free.

 

Exactly. Install time for the Greddy is going to run you about another $2k on top of kit cost. This should take about half or even less time to install then the Greddy.

 

Hmm, hadn't really thought about what it would take in the install, just assumed it would be similar. Guess it would be less labor when you consider that you leave the stock manifolds on the car and not have to remove them like the TT (real time consuming to put headers on the car as we know). Don't know if it would be half as much money to install, but it should be less.

 

from the looks, its a little harder then isntalling testpipes, IE you can do it byyourself in a day.

 

Yeah, Turbonetics recommends 10 hours to install this. The last time I read I think the last Greddy kit when on in something like 40 hours?

 

Yeah I could hear the BOV. We had the windows up for the first part of the video. After we talk to the Evo guy (towards the end) we have the windows down and you should be able to hear the BOV. Check like the end of part2 or part3

 

if the kit is around the $4500 range, i'm on it like a fat guy on cake...

 

MSRP from Turbonetics is like 5k so the street price should be the same as Vortech (~4000-4500).....I am a fat guy...and this is my cake...

 

if it truly is around 4-4.5K and comes with all the parts mentioned in the other turbonetics post...then I will be on it like white on rice. Hopefully it'll be compatible with my 5AT, I don't see why not.

 

From the pics on the first page, it looks like the flange where the charge pipe meets up to the MAF sensor will probably interfere with my JIC strut bar, which is considerably wider than the stock strut bar…….looks like I may loose that too. Damn!

 

don't worry, i'm sure the trade-off won't be THAT bad...

 

Yeah I'd trade back to the stock strut bar in a heartbeat for a nice chrome 8PSI producer..Hmmm....maybe you could shave off some of the underside of the strut bar....?

 

must...have....turbonetics....kit....now....

release it already!

 

Agreed...

 

Any pictures of what this looks like underneth?

 

No unfortunately not...There should be a lot of pictures getting release soon though as SEMA gets closer.
