Ok guys be completely honest with this one...is this kit good or not? So far i have almost everything i need as far as management and fuel setup for my turbo build...now i have to decide on what i want to do about the actual turbo setup (manifold, wastegate, turbo, bov, ic and charge pipes) This kit by treadstone performance features a turbonetics turbo and wastegate. Comes with everything i have left to buy for my build. If this isn't worth the money and you think i should find something else can you please give me an idea on what i should be looking for? It's going on my gsr and i am hoping to make around 250 whp on 7-8 lbs of boost (daily driver) Here's the link

looks like a decent kit for the price

 

looks very similar to another company or the vecco kit

 

those are all pretty good components that come with that kit.........not a bad price at all..

 

so you guys think i should go with that kit? Do you think the t3/t4 will give me a decent spool and some good numbers as well? With this kit i will have everything i need then. I already have hondata, injectors, fuel pump, and a wideband so i'll be good to go

 

i know there intercoolers are very good a few friends of mine have them and i will be purchasing one for spring

 

I say go for it

 

Im buying one of those kits on monday but before i do theres four choices of turbo that they let you pick
V trim stage 2 .48
H trim stage 2 .63
60-1 trim stage 3 .63
60-1 trim stage 5 .63
i don't know which one to pick...
i was reading about a guy that bought one of this kit and did 12,s in the quarter...

 

the only flaw i see it the wastegate placement, it is gonna boost creep

 

boost creep i hava drag manif and wg the same way no problems 10 psi girl!

I would also like to know the answer to this. I know what the .63 and .48 are...the area to radius ratio. I will definately go with a .63 size turbo but what is the difference between a stage 3 and a stage 5 turbo? Also what is the difference between an h trim and a 1 trim??

+ 1...

 

60-1 stage 5 with the .63 a/r FTW. I believe stage 5 have a bigger turbine wheel which give you less back pressure then the stage 3. You know turbo hate back pressure. Don't quote me on it though.

 

what about the other trim turbos they allow you to choose from? What is the difference between them? As previously stated i know the difference in a/r ratios but not the different trims or stages.

 

bump

 

anyone??

 

experienced user of this kit, found out the guy was actually born a 10 minutes away. Good guy to deal with, RECOMMEND NOT using filter supplied with kit, because a metal piece got sucked in and DESTROYED the turbo, but they replaced it for free! HIGHLY RECOMMENED but PLEASE save yourself the troubles and buy a decent air filter.

 

i just donnu about that mani, it looks good, but the WG flange is njot in the right spot.

 

wastegate is in a fine location. Just may have to customize your dumptube a little bit. Also make sure you dont crossthread on that manifold.

 

Is it a/c friendly and will it fit a GSR in an EG?

 

Kinda O.T.- but im using a treadstone intercooler on a turbo miata running a t3/60-1@ 12 psi, and street tuning the haltech showed an over 20 degrees drop under ambient of the air at the t.b......so I givethem a

 

there is one on ebay looks identical

for cheaper too
