Pros: Kit is beautiful and works wonderfully
Cons: Instructions need to be upgraded with the kit

This kit has provided me with almost unlimited happiness. I was expecting to break the 400hp barrier with ease, considering I got the upgraded fuel managment (UTEC), and bigger injectors (440cc) than with the original kit (380cc) but unfortunately I fell a little short. I succeeded in reaching 350rwhp and 390ft/lbof torque which is still respectable.

I installed the kit myself which was a great experience. Unfortunately, Turbonetics was great in upgrading many of the parts as early released kits came back with problems/recommendations. The bad part was that although Turbonetics did upgrade certain parts, they failed to upgrade the instruction manual. BIG PROBLEM!!! They were supposed to have sent me an attachment for the update for the wastegate relocation. This is necessary to resolve an overboosting problem. Never got it!. Pretty major if I am concerned. There have been reports that the boost can creep up to 10psi of boost. That is significant since it is set up to run at 8psi. Overboost too much and BOOM!!! So it is a little important. Ooops!

Still not the end of the world. I was lucky enough to have discovered a Turbonetics Owners Forum which provided me with all of the answers to questions (some with pictures) to help me through the rest of the install without a hitch.

Keep in mind, THIS KIT WILL ONLY WORK WITH STOCK HEADERS!!! Actually I believe there is one brand of aftermarket headers that actually fit with this kit (Alphawerks) but the likelihood that you have a set that accomodates this kit is not good.
I would not recommend this kit if you have any aftermarket headers other than stock or the alphawerks.

The power is Great. Compared to my previous supercharger, it is unmatched. I am very happy with the neck-snapping effect it provides. Almost like the exaggerated blur you see in Fast and The Furious movies, but to a lesser extent.

I would recommend this kit, but before starting, make sure that you have all of the necessary tools and parts from beginning to end. Even those obscure tools like o2 sensor removers...
