It's amazing that you could cause your own problem with your kit and blast it to no end!
Jetpilot.... amazing! Your a lame no-life troll as well!
Check the classifieds for all the Greddy kits being sold! I guess everyone loves then so much!

Everyone has sht to say about all these kits. Its unreal...just constant psycho babble. I love my Greddy kit and couldn't be happier with its performance.
If you are happy with your TK, that's all that matters.
One thing's for sure...if you post on this forum, someone will bash you no matter what the topic is...

Then I'll shut up!

Besides, if you've had 3+ turbos and your car is still smoking then there's definitely something else wrong. Hopefully everyone that reads this has a little common sense...
I don't like debating this same stuff over and over again any more than anyone else, but for god sakes people use your heads!

Has anyone tried Jet's turbo(s)??? Does it smoke in another car?
were the seals intact when he returned the turbo for exchange?
In fairness, there does seem to be a fair amount of people that have had the problem. Off the top of my head: me, Solidsnake, Jet, redline, even you taurran....I'd be willing to bet there are many others.
In my case the replacment turbo resolved the issue so it would be hard to argue that its not the seal (in my case). Others have had it continue after replacing the turbo. In any case there does seem to be a common problem.

As far as Jet's turbos - I'm pretty sure the answer is no. Maybe someone should ask Jeremy as Jetpilot's car is there (at Performance Factory) right now getting Greddy TT's put in.

I don't really want to stir the pot with this, but after seeing some of the banter in this thread, I found the wastegate pics in this thread interesting.
It looks like a really nice kit to me, just saying...

In the case of turbo 3. The turbo was smoking. Then I belw the motor. I sent the turbo back in while I rebuilt the motor. Idon't know what they did to it at Turboneticsif anything. So the turbo was returned to me. Upon rebuilding the motor I installed a brand new oil line and drilled the oil return to the upper oil pan instead of the pan spacer I had. The turbo still smoked on the dyno at Sharif's immediately after the install. I droveit for about 1500mi before removing the turbo again and sending it back inbecasue the oil leak was so severe it was running down the pipes ans getting all over the silicone couplers and blowing the couplers of funder boost. I inspected everything and it was fine. They inspected the turbo, sent it back saying nothing was wrong and I installed it again and it still smoked of course because nothing was done. So now m ywarranty was up and Iwas out of options.... just like Redline.

You sound like an idiot being so happy they are going to let you PAY for a watercooled bearing section. Lucky you!
