This guys wants advise on what to buy not this bits good bit this bits bad.
He's going to buy a kit so why buy one with known problems?
My current setup cost me less than 3K all top stuff but doing my own work safes heaps.
Need to read properly or possibly open up your dictionary nor you opened up my built thread but let me comprehend it for you:
I have a turbonetics turbo and wastegate in my vehicle right now and had travelled 12000km since I installed it with no problems. It is not acceptable to say in general they are poor in quality. = My own experience coming from my two hands and mouth.Quote:
The fact that I'm using turbonetics turbo/items and has been fine since last year (12000km travelled). It's bullocks to say they're shit.
Turbonetics came with log style cast manifold. It flows not-as-good-as ramhorm, sidewider, custom fab. But they resist to crack especially for daily driving purpose. Balancing reliability, performance, purpose and price.Quote:
only negative with turbonetics is their exhaust manifold and yes they're just log style and flows terrible but highly susceptible from cracking.
I have not mentioned "on what to buy not this bits good bit this bits bad" but rather judge on what's worth for their price, so we should.Quote:
not here to rant on this and that is shit but rather extrapolate on what's worth their price
In summary, there are no mention of problems with turbonetics items. First two quotes reflects on turbonetics. Third quote reflects on "This guys wants advise on what to buy not this bits good bit this bits bad."
Says who?? says me who have experience with their products.
Sorry I misread your post and that’s great you’ve has such good luck with Turbonetics.Quote:

Still, I researched for years before going with the GReddy Kit as my first turbo project and still think it’s the best option for a first timer.
It's great we came to somewhere in this. From your sig, $3K and 161kw is bang for buck in B-series. Extra note on my $0.02 - One thing I was advised in turbonetics forum was to always connect the coolant port which was most failures to blown seal etc etc, oil gallery in the turbo is smaller then most turbo in the market since it has to accommodate the coolant cooling jacket thus oil is primarily for lubrication of bearing where the coolant does the majority of cooling. Tune is important as well, dump it rich and egt will rocket to space.
guys i appreciate your input.
what i have come to as a conclusion, i have run into a idiling issue which is electronic and not mechanically as ive just had a full service completed.
if worst case i need to replace the ECU i will be going all out with my project, if and when i do i will post pictures however i wont be doing the work myself due to resource and time constrants.
Do it bounce on idle? clean your FITV that's bolted onto the TB.Quote:
