*update 6/17* New vid+1/4 #'s.. My Turbonetics TC
Hey guys, thats right today i picked up my car and is now turbocharged by turbonetics 
. Pulls hard as hell and is much fun to drive. Still have to get used to it and all. But enough of that here are some pics!
I know not the best pics but will post up more once i get them from my friends' cameras. Already dynoed at 274whp and 269 torque!! Other than the turbo I have magnaflow catback exhaust, and zpi crank pulley. I have vids too but same thing waiting on getting them from my friends camera. Oh yea, also new megan racing coilovers got installed at the same time and man is the ride STIFF! You can see the dampeners in the engine bay pic. Please come at me with any questions/comments I will do my best to answer!
BTW: Installed by PromotionTuning (before known as Creative Compacts) in Fredericksburg, VA. GREAT service and fast they did quality work and I would def recommend them to any1 who lives near them. I would like to thank James and all his coworkers for all the hard effort they put into getting this kit on.

Lucky Bastard!!! =o) Cant wait to get mine! Numbers sound sweet... are you thinking about upping the boost?
How much was the install... if possible without the coilovers... just so i have an idea of how much its gonna hurt.

what settings are you using for the dampers? can you compare the stiffness to lets say a ground control/koni yellow set up? or something similar. or a tein basic/ssp etc feel?... im subscribing because i wana hear some review on the megans on a TC. ive heard alot of good and very little bad. but from other cars, not a tc. have pics of the drop also???? i'd like to see how low you can adjust the height.
congrats though on a nice set up.. should be awesome to drive.

Looks good Dan. Now there are 7 TCs, 1 XA, 2 XBs the are boosted locally, that I know of.
People are probably scratching thier heads wondering why the hell they cant keep up with, as they call it " a slow ugly car!
