A/T TC with Trubo

[lukeyd900]

I have an A/T 2006 TC and I am about to purchase the following set up. Could you all offer some advice or opinions please.

Turbonetics Turbo Kit
XTR/CP Pistons
Carillo Rods
ARP Head Studs
Cometic Head Gasket
Ingals "Stiffy" Engine Damper
AEM Fuel/Ignition Controller
Agency Power Exhaust
Supertech Ti Retainer Kit
Greddy HC Oil Catch Can
Greddy Front and Rear Strut Tower Bars
Tein H Tech Springs
AirRaid PowerAid Throttle Body Spacers
TRD LSD

Does this set up look decent? Also, would it be beneficial to upgrade my clutch, flywheel and pulley? One more question too, am I stuck with the headers and down pipe that the turbo kit comes with or can they be replaced and if so, which headers and down pipe would be good for this set up? Thanks a lot for any advice and opinions.

it sounds great to me .. altho i would add a nice sway bar kit and prefer coilovers
( even tho i have lowering springs myself ) lol
but yea i don't really see anything wrong with that set up

i wouldnt go with the aem fic you rtubonetics kit kit will come with a unichip which i slaready mapped for 8lbs but its safe to run 10 on the stock unichip map. is your tc an automatic ??? A/T???

[carboncrazytc]

i would go with a 3inch exhaust agency power is only 2.5 im going with the greddy ti-c axle back which is like 80mm like 3.15 inches and a custom 3 inch midpipe proably just straight pipe. yeah and like boogi said coilogvers if your spending the dough might as well go for it. dont feel bad i just spent 10,000gs on parts yesterday lol.

Yeah, my TC is an automatic. So, should I upgrade my clutch as well. Also, will the unichip support a NOS system? Thanks.

10 Geez ?? where are you getting this money from carbon ??
wow .. so since im upgrading my head gaskets .. engine mounts and studs .. can i run 10 Lbs ?? or shud i stick with 8 ?? how much HP would i we see with 10 lbs ??

Drop the AirRaid PowerAid Throttle Body Spacers. Don't believe the hype, it will only harm flow.

[lukeyd900]

So, should I also forget about updating my clutch as well?

[carboncrazytc]

for an automatic you cant really upgrade the clutch ads far as i know and i just traded in my automatic cause the trans wouldnt hold. so i would suggest a valve body upgrade for the trans zpi used to make make one but they went under so i couldnt find any one who made it so i just traded my car in b4 you buy all those parts be sure you can find the upgrade for your trans. its a different type of clutch instead of a pull type i believe its a push type or something like that???
the unichip is programmable it uses a windows based program i believe you actually have to cal unichip to get it but why would u wanna run nitrous on your car with a turbo ??? if any thing i would set up an intercooler chill bar !!

acboogi i talked ot kenny tran the other day and he said we could do 300 whp on my car and he would have no problem doing it he said i would be good for 100,000 miles with 300 whp so im going to run 12 on my completely stock motor.. worst case scenario i go to 8 to 1 compression pistons and some carillo h beam rods and then i run 16 lol. well if it is true 1lb of boost = 10 hp be in the neighborhood of 265 wheel.. hey boogi when the parts get here in gonna lay em all out and ill send ya a pic : )..

[ac3 b00gi3]

16 lbs ??

Navy I have a throttle body spacer and it works GREAT on my current set-up
will i still be able to use it with the turbo ??
or will it start harming the flow like you said

[carboncrazytc]

but a manula boost controller electronic ones are a rip cause you know there isnt any one who actually turns it down lol they crank it up as hihg as it will go and leave it there lol.

[ac3 b00gi3]

manual it is
Thanks for the tip
didn't think it would make a difference

Yes it will. Talk to any professional and they will tell you, smooth and straight. If the small twisting indentations do anything, it is to cause only a small boundary layer of the air flow to try and swirl. The main percentage of the flow will continue flowing straight. These two flows will cause friction of the atoms in the boundary layer. This will cause a degradation in flow. Take a study in fluid dynamics if you want the physics of it. Turbulance also begets an increase in IAT. To what extent is unknown.

If Kenny says he can get you 300WHP reliably, you better believe it. The tC is one of their specialties.
