GL with the T-netics turbos. Been there before.......

 

And good reasons why your not.........

 

I think it's safe to say that there is no way to put together a complete quality turbo kit with everything you need for 2K

Just not realistic, not to burst your guys bubble.

Watching with great interest!!! Scary when soooo much Gen1 gear falls along the wayside. Nice to see fresh gear.

 

xbgod, your just hating on the price! lol

 

I wish that were true. I just know as a manufacture of racing parts that a complete kit is impossible to make for 1999.00

You notice, there hasn't been a update on the release like he said there would be for the first of the year release.

Go back and look at the break down of pricing You'll see a complete kit can't be done for that amount. At least not one thats worth a ____.

Sorry dude.

XBG

 

True, some of it looked custom made cant imagine that kind of time is cheap

 

Your right, not if you want to make any money on it. Cause look just at this break down:

Turbonetics turbo or Garrett at a dealer price 750.00 mabey
AEM FIC at discount price 350.00
exhaust manifold with down pipe all hand done like shown in his pic 850.00 to make it worth your time.

These 3 pieces alone= 1950.00

so.....You still need:

BOV
Wastegate
Intercooler
Oil lines / Coolant lines
Inter cooler piping
T-bolts
Silcone cuplers

Not to mention the time you would need to put in for a pre maped ECU so you don't get all the retards out of the wood-works calling you because they think eveything should be handed to them. Knowing full and well no two applications are the same. To many variables...which is why you have to take it to a tuner.

But the kind of people that will buy this complete kit are the kind of people you don't want to deal with. For obvious reasons..

XBG

 

Other than that, there cheapest kit right now is 3k, 2k turbo kit....they will be sold out in a day.

 

It would be fantastic to see a kit come out for around 2k. Just not really practical.

I think the parts that Rob makes are great and I don't belive he would sacrafice quality for price point. I belive he could pull off a kit for about 3k. But that would be more of a tuner kit.

XBG

 

agreed^^^ no way could it be bolt on and go that cheap

 

I love all the speculation!

YES...the DESCENDANT xB1 turbo kit will be $1995.00 + S&H. A complete detailed list of the components included coming soon but if anyone is in a hurry please feel free to contact us...other wise I'll update the thread ASAP.

Thank you,

Not saying anything agaist what has or has not happened in the past with you and Turbonetics but 99% of all turbo failures are caused by something other than the turbo or turbo builder. I have been a turbocharger designer and engineer for over 15 years and have done lots of failure analysis and most of my findings were that the turbo failed from abuse, trash or lack of oil not from poor craftsmanship. This is across the board with all the main stream larger turbo companies.

 

I love all the stupid flagged posts!

 

Congrats on the new addition to your family. Kids are awesome!

 

Thanks very much! It is so awesome!

 

The 1g xB just got back from the dyno and made considerable more power and torque from the stock configuration.
Stock the b made 84whp@zero boost with the turbo kit installed and making 6 psi it made 145whp through the auto trans and with no intercooler.

 

nice numbers

 

Its not bad for an auto trans and a 1.5 ltr engine for sure.

 

Nice
