looking around at all the pre fab kits out there the greddy seems to be the most user friendly and complete...looks like very good quality compared to drag

couple ?'s tho...do you just plug in the "blue box" and go?

is it safe to run the kit without an IC or BOV?

does anyone have experience with greddy turbo kits?

I personally would never run without a bov. I've ran with no intercooler before and i'll never do it again. It's so much better with a intercooler. safer and more power.
How much boost do you plan to run?

JeremyL

id keep it at whatever the "stock" level of the kit is...i think its around 6lbs

APEX i GSR

i did my friends Greddy kit on his brand new GSR block from Acura and he is boosting 7 lbs on low boost & 10 on high.

he basically is running the blue box until he gets Hondata this summer
its ok except for the always present Check Engine light

but is plenty strong

but geta blowoff valve & intercooler

JeremyL

always present check engine light? why?

I have a 99 ls and my engine light is always on also. I have been through 2 new blue boxes from greddy and have tried someone elses, and still get misfire codes. The kit is very nice though. 13.7@103 w 2.2 60ft. stock clutch and tires

JeremyL

come on dude 13.7 on a "stock" greddy kit on an LS? is it the IC'd kit? how much are you boosting? do you have any other mods in addition to the turbo?

Come on dude what!!!, You have been asking for our opinions and suggestions and I gave you mine. If you read my reply it said stock clutch and tires. Just in case you wanted to know, I am running an intercooler as well as a greddy evo cat-back. The boost is set at the stock greddy setting of 8 psi...

you're in the 13s with stock clutch and tires. and still running a cat? lordy i need to get to the track and the dyno!

JeremyL

just seems like a very low 1/4 time for 8lbs out of an 18g turbo on an otherwise stock LS motor...especially for stock tires

i like the greddy kit. personally i bought an i/c and bov. no problems with the kit at all, very reliable. it's been close to 5 months and still running strong.. im using the blue box

it's not so much "plug-in" for the box, you have to wire it up to you ecu.

As for running non-intercooled, I did for 6 months without any problems except for the awful turbo lag.

The BOV is a must to me although there's a wastegate. Not only for the sound, but for the extra comfort knowing that I won't have blow back.

But make sure you get the ic, I have the greddy type 31 ic and it made a huge difference in performance and temps

I have the greddy kit in my GSR but never had the check engine light come on maybe something is wrong. I have a little back fire but regap the spark plugs and it was fine. And for 13.7 in a stock LS i hope I can run that when i test my car.
