Another Turbo Installed :D PICS!!! 56k, suck my....
Hey Guys and Gals,
So this past week, I finally got my Treadstone turbo kit installed. I want to thank Robby, my installer, and his crew for all their hard work. I'm happy with the end result. I'm currently boosting at 6 PSI. At idle my AFR's are 14.5-15. At WOT, they are pig rich running in the 10-11 range. The maker of the kit says this set up is designed to run without management, but after playing with it for a few days, I am going to get some sort of management this week. Still not sure what route I want to go. All in all, I LOVE the power and am happy with the result. Here are some pics. THanks to everyone who helped me with my turbo quest. I'm now part of the Turbo family

What kind of numbers are we expecting with the Treadstone Turbokit for the Auto?
Any tranny issues?
Have any video footages yet?
You say you're not running a management system...how did they go about around that?
You say you're going to be getting a management system...anything in particular that you have in mind?

Interesting gauge placement. Can you describe the wraps on the charge pipe? Is the pipe to tall that you are using wrap so it doesn't vibrate against the car? If so, you could cut the piping (on the TB side) to drop it down so you wouldn't be hitting the windsheild wiper housing, as well as giving you the ability to run a strut bar if you should happen to get one.

THe reasoning behind not needing management with this kit is the maf flange. its designed to read MAF readings that the stock ecu can accomadte for. As for management and which to use, i'm looking at the emanage basic and/or ulitmate or the unichip. I'm still not sure how much I want to spend. But it def could use some since it's running 470cc injectors. HOpe that answers your q's.

I dont think you would need heat wrap on the charge pipe though...dunno. I don't think there are any performance gains can be had from it or there are any components that need protecting from heat on that side of the engine bay.
