well guys. I got my car back and turbo'd. Came back from my long extended vacation.. Any who, the turbo runs greats. Pulls hard in second and shifts very smoothly. So far no problems. Im getting the BOV HKS SSQV installed next week and a few other things. Ill have to find a place for me to dyno it. Ill let u all know how it all turns out. *pics on the way**

There have been some complications with my greddy install
apparently the 2005 and 2006 have different ecu wiring a fact which greddy has now been made aware.They are working on getting out a corrected diagram for the emanage but in the meantime i have a nice turbo'd car i cant drive because it has no feul management system

know the feeling man im not to happy with greddy myself i blew my engine due to what i belive was a sucky map for the emanage or maybe a overboost due to the wastegate not being set properly i will no more soon when i get my new motor in the car and a street tune. did you install your kit yourself? if you did what did you think of the install i say the instructions are horrible compared to turbonetics and also the altenator heat shield has to be cut so not to hit the manifold. i was very disapointed in the greddy kit ive always recomended there products and have had a honda b and d series kit of there among other products but now i wish i had spent more on the turbonetics kit.

here are some pics before i took it out and blew engine
when i took it around my house if felt great in the fist 3 gears must have made 15 passes taking friends for rides. but the motor shot a rod right threw the bottom of the block in 4th gear on the highway at around 4.5-5k rpms i personnally think greddys map sucks and was the cause i know im not the only one who feels this way. if you get this kit get it tuned!!
Dont know if you can see it here but there is a one-way vacumfitting that is in the parts list as #47 but not in the instuctions as to where to place it i was told when i called greddy that it goes before the three way T-fit with the black side and arrow facing engine just incase this helps anyone.

Looks like somebody spilled some oil!
To those considering the Kit, yes, I always recommend our customers to get a shop to tune the ECU/Emanage, even thought it comes pretuned at 8.5 psi.
You know your car more than GReddy does, hopefully that goes for all of us here.
We've sold 6 of these kits, no known complaints regarding parts. We try our best to help you out, by email, phone, forum, or IM. Even I try to help when I am at home, liek now, haha.
The kit definetely bolts right up, comes without the BOV (We have BOV's and Flanges in stock). I myself am not sure about installing the BOV during the initial install or by waiting. In my opionion, either way is fine. just be sure to have it in by tuning time.
One customer got as much as 275 to the wheels with the kit, an exhaust, and some other parts. The largeer gains came from fine tuning by a good shop.

As for not putting a BOV on here for a while , I don't know about that. I'm not claiming to know a lot about turbos (nothing much really) but I've read a lot of people that know their stuff and it can cause problems not having one. Even not having a good one. I've also read up on the HKS pull BOV and it seems to be a better design. I'll stick to having my HKS installed during the kit install.
cdp1279, and the others that have posted problems with the different issues... thanks for the info. I'm sure it will help others installs go smoother. Keep the info coming!
