Guys I promise once I get my exhasut system hooked up I WILL DYNO my car but till then I dont want to do it because I will have to pay and besides the shop that is doing my ride will end up dynoing the car anyway. Hmmm is Dynoing a word? Sounds kinda flimsy!

I dont want to purchase a turbo for the FMIC on the car just to look cool and say im boostin..... I and im sure others will purchase something with proven results..... Cuz what if when you dyno your turbo you put on lets say and extra 35-45 hp..... in my opinon thats not worth it.. and now you have a turbo that voided your warranty where you could of purchased the b.s. supercharger scion is coming out with and had the same results.... pretty much if im risking my warranty by boostin... i need facts and legit numbers from a legit place like lets say Jotech..... not just any lil shop trying to make bank off a brand new car..... coming out and saying call this guy for a turbo dont cut it for me and probably 95% of the people that read this post...... a turbo is and investment and a risk... not just a "cool accessory"

LMAO at the haters like you would turn down a free turbo kit. I dont really give a crap what you think I got hooked up and thats final. I know if I wanted to I could boost high and have great output but I didnt really want it for racing im past that I just need a daily driver and with the turbo its sweet. I used to have a Twin Turbo Z and I traded it in for the car when I was offered the turbo kit as a sponsorship I took it because I missed the extra power. Anyways you guys keep drooling about getting some real gains I will chill here on my end enjoying my turbo and laughing at the haters. Pe@ce! im out of this thread.

unfortunately some people do get turbos for accessories.. how many ppl with hondas have turbos and you ask em whyd you go turbo they say.. i like the blow off valve.. it sounds cool... ive seen taquitos car... ITS FAST so chill.. dont get all butt hurt cuz he didnt put it on the dyno yet.. for him its a waste to do it now without his exhaust.. and who cares if he decides to post up about it and not put dyno charts or what not... sometimes we all get excited and want to post what we got but dont get around to posting other facts.. lay off guys.. they will be here in time

what im sayin is coming on here trying to get business for a friend that hooked him up with a turbo with no dyno, no numbers is just stupid....... i wont let anybody put anything on my tc unless i know its legit... and the way he talks dont sound legit to me, specially since it takes a couple of dynos and alot of tuning to get the perfect setting on this car....... good for him that he got a turbo on his tc for free.... but id rather have a flawless set up with test and numbers, then just something somebody just whipped up for free......

Sad, sad person. Yes, I will turn down a free turbo kit if it will void warranty on a $20K car. Your buddy got a great deal - a guinea pig for the cost of parts. Your engine blows - oh well, it was a free kit ;)
Go on, win your shows. Might have to tow the damn "show car"... LOL

Anyway, yah, dyno and specs would be nice. Otherwise, there's not much information being passed here. I'll check out those pics though
