Looks Good Sam!!

It also looks like that thing has some expandability in it. Local customer?? Or is this a dealership car?

The car is complete and amazingly quite. On the street it is quieter than stock under throttle. Talk about a total sleeper!!! We had an issue with the supplied pcv system and now I am waiting for the Turbonetics guys to get back from the PRI show in Orlando. We fixed the pcv issue and the car runs great. She still has alot left in the tune as you can see from the graph, but like I said I wanted this to be an out of the box test. I am sure the guys from Turbonetics will get us dialed in. There customer support has been really impressive. If you have any questions I can be reached at 702-641-1571 or just shoot me a pm. We keep these kits in stock and this is only our test build. We have two more aggressive setups going together after the hollidays!!

Looks like a great start!

Did you run a boost gauge with the kit? Or monitor boost while on the dyno to see where you are at?

Also, how does the AFR look?

So Sam, this setup is with:
a) 91 Octane
b) Stock Cats
c) Stock Airbox
d) Stock Exhaust
e) Stock Cam

Q: Looking at the pics, it seems like the hot side merging before getting to turbo, has to travel through a long set of pipe. While driving on the street, how much lag did you noticed from the time you press the gas, before the pull starts? From the graph, I see some delay compared to TT.

8psi and the supplied pcv check valve was defective. Allowing boost pressure to enter the crank case. Simple fix and she is much happier!!
