PTuning does not have a log manifold. It's a low mounted equal length manifold. However, it is not a sidewinder manifold like Mase etc.

Think longterm and don't purchase something you're going to be upgrading down the road and spending more money on.

I would create a comparison sheet between turbo kits and figure out the kit that best meets your goals (power, reliability, etc.)

 

he probably thinking of the Pfab log.. Actually that would be my vote for a cheaper kit. Well made, easy to work on. No oil filter relocation needed. ~$3000 NIB

Just relocate the battery to front cross beam, add a little heat shielding & your good.

 

I have the godspeed kit with a built motor at 9.6:1 running at 8psi made 380whp. The wastegate that comes with the kit is fine it is a turbosmart ultragate replica. Do not use the bov that comes with the kit it is an ebay pos. Do not use the oil drain line they supply, it is not made for oil, it will swell, kink, then ruin ur turbo(guess how I know that). The intercooler does not come with mounts so you have to fab some up. Also the kit does not come with most of the hardware needed like studs and nuts for bolting the turbo to the manifold. After you work out the the small problems with the kit it is fine. The kit is sold for substantially less on ebay call godspeed and they will match the price that way u don't have to go through a middle man for warranty claims if problems arise. I bought the kit almost 2 years ago so they may have fixed some of the problems I talked about. Oh I have about 7k miles on the kit. Hope this helps!

 

that pretty much answers all of my questions. thank you so much.

Deception- yes that was the kit i was talking about for the log mani. thank you!

 

no prob..

also let me offer my insight on the god speed kit.. I started with one, and had to replace every component more or less because they all broke

Figure it this way, even if only a few things fail, WG, BOV, Mani cracks.. thats $700-$1000 of replacement parts,

take that $1000 and add to your funds to get something better from the start.

 

yep will do bro. when you linked that site to pfab. i started leaning heavily towards it lol. but my main concern about pfab is the top mount configuration. i wanted a bottom mount since there should be less heat compared to top mount, right? i.e. the turbo housing (hot side) is right next door to the head. isn't that not a good idea? lol

i mean i'm going to dd this car for the most part and of course get on it like i stole it every so often and don't want it to meltdown on me like i've seen in videos and pics lol. i believe most of them were top mount mani's... idk. but i may just end up going this route anyhow... my mechanic said he'll offer me a discount since he's the one pressuring me to go turbo. lol i believe he wants to race me. yeh right, 600whp supra vs 350ish whp. i don't think so lol

 

Get a blanket for the turbo.. should help a lot with the heat issues.

yeh i've seen those a lot. i'll definitely add that to my turbo kit list. thanks.

 

ok.. i've made up my mind. pfab turbo kit stage 1 is perfect for me. thank you for everyones' reply!

ps. pang from pfab pretty much convinced me on this one since he was very fast at responding to ALL of my questions. lol

 

if you look at my sig in running a custom kit i made but i use a revhard manifold which is what comes with the godspeed kit.
