so i bought streetstar's fixer-upper turbonetics kit. only things wrong with it is the turbo has some play on it (probably just needs to be balanced), there's a dented section of the IC piping with a small 1in hole that needs to be replaced, and i need to source clips for the injectors from motron or somebody.

other than that, everything's looking awesome! comes with an emanage blue with an 07+ pnp harness and a base tune for 6psi so after i get the turbo and piping fixed i can install everything and be on my merry way!

eventually i want to dyno tune the emanage for 8psi, but i ony know one place in austin that can do that and i haven't heard the best things about them (MZM?).

i suggest you try and pickup a dezod black box or upgrade to a FIC or ultimate so you can partial throttle tune

on the serious now, I don't believe they carry it anymore. you would have to find one used. Brandon (java09) might still have his, but he's deployed. Ryan (satoman44) might know if Brandon still has the Black Box.

I almost changed the title of this thread to "i'm getting a turrrrbonator"

Balancing has nothing to do with play in a turbo. Some of the play (depending on how bad some people over exaggerate) is there due to clearance for the oil passages and once filled with oil will be gone or taken down to a mininum. Keep this in mind.

I understand side-to-side play is normal as long as the wheels don't come into contact with the housing wall, but I'm talking about end-to-end shaft play, of which you don't want -any-.

Anywho, I got the kit and everything looks great. Ordered the TRD oil pan, injector harness EV1 pigtails, emanage support tool, and the NGK 1 step colder iridium plugs. Plus I've arranged to have the damaged section of the IC piping replaced and I'm packing up the turbo to send to Majestic Turbo in Waco for a complete tear down, bearing replacement, and balancing all for $355 (beats getting a used 50 trim for over $500).

All in all, I should have everything ready for an early October install In the meantime, I'm going to go re-read the turbonetics install .pdf for the 30th time.
