Ideas?

lol oops i forgot to add, for the turbotoyotas you have to buy your own injectors and you can get it off ZPI....As for Dezod, they are great. I would suggest them, for turbonetics, they are reliable, but your average you will end up like 280 whp at 8 psi. I would rather get Dezod with the .63 turbine and with ball bearing, you get better spool and last longer.

Turbonetics seems to be the most popular of turbo kits and the most reliable. The Greddy turbo have been getting bad reviews. I am not that experienced with differences in turbo styles/models, but believe the turbonetics turbo to be the better choice. Now all you need to do is research the "kits" out there and see who has the best quality and developed for reliability.

Sup navy...figured I should chime in with my GReddy experience....


I've had my GReddy kit in for over 16k miles. I have the eManage Blue, and the 440cc injectors that came with it. I have it tuned very fat (rich) in order to make it safe and drivable in Atlanta traffic. The numbers I posted are 229.3 whp, at 314 ft/lbs of torque. This tune was purely AFR, no injection timing as of yet. I do plan on opening my exhaust (currently only running a Borla axle-back) and getting a boost controller to go up to 10psi. I estimate that at that point, with a more precise tune (I'm used to this boost level now, I want more :P), I'll probably be in the 250-280 range.

The problems that people have had with the GReddy is the external wastegate actuator being damaged or bent during shipping. Prior to installing the kit, you may be able to detect this type of damage, but I am honestly unsure as to what degree of bend can cause the overboost situations. The only way to verify this after install is to make sure you have a boost gauge, and keep an eye on your gauge under road conditions. If you are in boost, and your car spikes beyond the GReddy 8.5 psi, GET OFF THE GAS!!!

Good Info. A data logger setup with some type of warning display would be the ticket.
