Turbonetics should be giving you a rebate for doing this write-up....

I had seen many write ups on different kinds, it really seemed the most bang for the buck. And it's "ease" of installation vesus others really made it a hands down choice. AND I got to drive a Z with the same setup at Boulder Nissan. I was stoked at it's performance, and when I get Utec, I will even surpass the Z I drove!

i didnt drive it but i got a ride in it... and the way it felt to me was exactly what i was looking for.

once the pedal was down, you could feel your self get pulled back immediately, nice and smooth. and hear that nice wastegate.

Turbonetics received my ECU today, I will probably get it back tommorow, awesome but.....
Serious hurdle we are up against now. This hasn't been that bad of an install up to this point,I'd say were 70%ish done. There are now some SERIOUS TURBO alignment issues!!! We are done until we figure it out. I will post more pix SOON!!!!
Yes YoungZ33 it was the roadster, the guy took me out tho the middle of nowhere and said go nutz! It's not like Kevin's of Justinz, but I LOVED IT!
HERE IS MY ONE OF MANY TO COME PUBLIC THANKING OF KEVIN AND SHANNON, I soooo OWE YOU GUYS!

Sorry to hear about the issue, how far is it off? Possibly mis-machined somewhere in the piping?

Awesome pics can't wait to see more. I'm looking into buying one of these set up myself at the beginning of the year.

What is it that is not lining up? You may have to reclock the turbo. Do you have pics of the mis-alignment?

Looks like if you can turn the turbo counter clockwise ( looking from the hood down) it would line up, Can you moddify that gold bracket?

Are you talking rotate the turbo the direction it spins (or counter clockwise to it) or turning the axis of the turbo as you are looking DOWN on it? You can loosen some bolts on the side and turn it so it will clear the headlight brace, but this wont help the alignment out the front of the car.
