Good point but you're not running 17 PSI on pump fuel .

91 octane ....thats the highest we have here in AZ.

Again its not the psi that matters......

All I can get out of a GT28RS at 17psi is just over 360whp. That small turbo does not flow that much air.

If that works for you sure.....I am all for it

how about a GT3782?
My first response would be what are you trying to accomplish by using this turbo?

Other than its just another random "hybrid".......unless you can rev high...there are better turbos suited for the TC. But thats just advice. I will always sell you what you want.

Todd thanks for the PM i just read
You said version 2.1 is better for me. Can you PM me a price to 10704 , for version 2.1 with the same look options.

And would you be able to do free install and tune me kit as well ? ( ofcourse i'll take care of your plane tickets.)

im looking to go turbo, but i feel i dont know enough about it, like maintenance, tuning, and basically everything. Is there somewhere where i can read up on this? This vocabulary is so new to me, log vs. EL manifold? Im just looking for a kit that will put me around 250whp, nothing huge

Damn! Power is out! I'm on my blackberry!
I missed 3 pages AND the return of forpinks who conveniently disappeared, installed, destroyed and removed a greddy kit and then reappeared!
What the hell is going on?!

I'm pretty sure there is a station on Mcdowell in Mesa that has 93....I don't know why, but I remember hearing someone talk about it while I was living out in Avondale...
