overboosting issues, turbo seals! We will just say the turbonetics kit has made a lot of z owners very depressed. The turbonetics kit is one of the older kits for the vq. Alot of better options out at this point. I would get it retuned and hope you don't blow your motor prematurely.

Thanks will keep that in mind if I decided to sell it what would the used price of the tn kit be worth

And yeah here's my fd (will never own another) lol it had a 1jz twin turbo swap

The kits seem to sell around 2,500 to 3,000 max. Most people that are z veterans know to stay away from the kit but others that don't know will end up buying it. If you want to turbo your car so many better options at this point.
