1LE Turbonetics BOV video

So yesterday after my friend and I installed the front brake kit from Wilwood he took the car for a few spins just around his block to test the brakes a bit. Nothing crazy until we do the back set today and we take it for a real cruise.

So I decided to take a short video of the sound of the Turbonetics BOV..

The video does not do justice of the actual sound.

Ok here is the info the kit is usually around $7,000 I got it for a bit more than $4,000 shipped to my door. Thanks to a forum member who sold it to me since he was gonna trade his SS for a ZL1.

All the kit was brand new, injectors , tune, turbo. Just the hot pipes where used for testing.
I had my mechanic start the install but we ran to some issues due to some brackets and some pipes that did not match my 2013 model due to the difference of having electrical power steering and that's where a pipe passed.

So talked to Turbonetics they went to my mechs house and decided it was better to Rowe it to their facility 30 mins away from me in Moorpark CA.

They used it as a R&D car and did the new bracket and pipes. And got a new diablo sport tune. I only payed $400 to my mech for the work he had already done and for rowing it for me to Tnetics. The rest that Tnetics did was free of charge

The car dyno at 509 RWHP at only 5.5 PSI which is awesome to me. Plus is 50 state legal. So a plus since I'm from California. I got stock cats. Just my turbo kit and the bov is atmospheric cause I choose to leave it open.

I might boost it to 7lbs not sure yet .. Just cause I don't have anymore money and don't want to do any more engine work at the moment. And don't get me wrong LS3 engines are great but at high boost the piston rings can still get messed up .

I do have a set of JBA mid pipes I might put and retune it. I was told I could make around 600RWHP

Lio, I am really glad they got the turbo kit worked out for you. I lost your number on my phone and was planning on PMing you to follow up when I found this thread. I hope it is was worth the wait after the shipping BS and then the install hiccups.
