I would say, just save up and find a good used kit on here. You should be able to get used greddy kit around $3k.

LOL... Thats the kit that I have, or at least thats how it started

so far I have replaced due to failure...
turbo
wastegate
crappy rubber lines (replaced w/ braided ss lines)
BOV (this week)

also the O2 bung in downpipe is in spot that can not be used.. you will need to weld another one on & fill in the old one

If I were you I would buy quality main parts (everything I mentioned above) & If you wanna save a few bucks the godspeed manifold & intercooler kit.

Keep in mind that even if someone does the install for you, you will end up spending countless hours working on it yourself.. bottom mount setups suck & I dream of the day I get a nice sidewinder manifold

ok call them up and tell them you want the intercooler n the manifold thats it they will do ti for like 700 i was going to do that and order the inline down pipe it matchs. grab a turbo t3 5 bolt style to match the down pipe n piece it together from there i was gonna spend around 2600 when i peiced it from there ALL new stuff besides that dont included aem n a tune so about 1600 on top of that. cheapest you can build.



just saying you can call and order the manifold n inercooler kit from them pretty cheap rather then buying that hole kit alot of it is junk

Why not just go with the inlinePRO kit? There are always used ones avalible.

That kits not bad, it will have its limits but a couple guys run it with no problems.

Thanks Revenge..

I'm one of the persons with this kit.. TWICE.... first time i had it, i sold it because i needed cash and i bought the same kit again..

i got a deal on mine and i didnt pay no 2600...

As of today.. i have had NO turbo failure *on either kits* and its a turbonetics 50 trim t3/t4.

I did however not use the oil drainline and went with one similar to IP and had it routed to the top right of the oil pan in front of the motor..

The 02 bung on the DP was a problem the first time.. i went AEM and wideband so i just capped it off and used the TP....

Everything else was completely fine.. still is, and its really a nice bolt on kit.. a friend rode with me and now has one.. PTUNING installed and tuned it and even they were impressed on how easy it bolts right on and ready to go... they said this has way more potential than a greddy kit.. and yes you can use the E-Ultimate..

The Wastegate i've gotten both times were Tial 38MM so i never had an issue on that either..

I do however have to agree that this kit, even though is a great bolt on kit, its still no IP or PFAB or something.

I've gotten 330whp on 11psi..230tq.. other turbos can dish way more..but for a turbo that is at full spool practically at 3grand and holds ALL the way to redline.. direct bolt on, you can't beat it for the price..

i did all the work myself, had my tuner tune it and with injector dynamic injectors 1000cc, aem 1052U, tuned and everthing out the door was 4 grand...some may be able to peice things together for cheaper i'm sure....i could've done the same, but there are folks out there who are new to FI and turbo's so that really isnt much of an option..

if you want an alternate to the greddy with external WG and potential to hit way higher numbers.. go with this kit...

again....*william Shatner voice*.. NOTHING.. HAS FAILED.... ON.. MY KITS!!!
