will you be willing to help me? I need help with install. But i need help find the kit at a good cost and the few extras to run it.

 

How much do you have budgeted for the install?

And . . .

What are your plans for the vehicle (i.e. show, drag, combo)?

Although its not included in the purchase of my kit, I opted for the profec e01 since it can act as a datalogger, boost controller, boost gauge, and it accepts the input for other sources (AF gauge). If you have a trusted Greddy dealer, allow them to tune the vehicle with the laptop software or your e01. Only a handful of DIYers have the resources or knowledge to do a proper tune (that will not drastically shorten the life span of your engine).

 

I might be holding off on this...i can afford the kit, but i was looking at a friend and his shop to help me. But the tuning and install might not get done right nor will i have the money to pay for it...So waiting might be a good thing i guess..Thanks for taking the time with me...made me realize its more than buying the kit and installing with no worry

 

Installing should not be a huge concern since my kit has been . . . let's say "test fitted."

I would worry more about the tuning, unless you're content to stay at the basic Greddy configuration . . . Good luck!

what is used when the tuned? special computer?

 

Just a laptop and the Greddy support tool software. The software and cable are around $119.

You'll also need a wideband A/F guage to confirm your dyno tune with a road test.

 

i dont see anyone having this except a greddy dealer i suppose

 

You can buy the software yourself for $119. And any laptop with a serial port (double check...most new puters dont have them anymore.)

 

Ditto for gq's response . . . you could use the e01, but its a little more cumbersome to go through all the cells and edit. If you go this route, be sure to consult the members here. One wrong move and *bam* you have wiped the emanage clean and your car will not / barely run with black smoke bellowing out your exhaust--its not fun

lol ok guys give me a ball park figure of how much this would cost me..everything.. turbo kit and extras ...i know install is 2000 - 2500 unless i can find help with someone you has the tuning stuff

 

ROFL....gee....wonder how you know that? kidding..

 

Have you looked at the new Turbonetics Single Turbo System for the 350...saw it a SEMA...looks great and it comes complete with EVERYTHING!! Turbonetics estimates 8 - 10 hours install and off you go. 385 whp at 8 psi...right out of the box!! Turbonetics literature states $5595.00 plus install will run you $2K less than a non-intercooled Greddy kit...available in January '05.

 

Correction...the Greddy kit is around $5500 street price...and that INCLUDES the intercooler.

I'd like to see the Turbonetics at the $4000-$4500 street price.

 

. . . a lil' birdie told me

With install and a few goodies, you're looking at 10-11K . . . it adds up quick.
