So I finally went ahead and bought the Greddy Turbo kit. I dropped off my car last night at 20/20 Customs up in Bellingham. I am scheduled to pick it up on Friday afternoon. I will then take it to have it tune with the AP by Chris (Kane's friend) with the PPO2 software this weekend. I will keep you guys updated with this in the next couple of days.

 

congrats! i just found an awesome deal on a used greddy kit.

 

Congrats on going FI! I'm really interested in hearing about your results with the PPO2 tuning process

 

Ahh old Failsafe....

Pinch his nipple for me.... LOL

I'll be in the Garage working on the Corvette; so call anytime if you guys need some help.

 

I will keep you guys posted on the results.

Kane: I will be sure to do that..Im sure if something comes up he will give you a call. Hopefully everything goes to plan.

 

Just finished my install , not something i would have liked done at a shop . But if that is your only option .......

 

don't forget an oil restrictor!! my turbo went up at 10k miles, i had to rebuild it using a TD05/TD06 rebuild kit.

 

Do you have a good source for buying one of those rebuild kits?

.......looking for one soon.

S

 

^^ditto i would like to keep one on the shelf when the time comes

 

ebay...just type in TD05/TD06 rebuild kit.

very very easy to do. i spent a total of $60

 

i knew i should've done a DIY when i did mine. damn...

 

Just curious...

When you rebuilt your turbo, did you get it re-balanced?

Thanks.

 

If my turbo was stock\starter kit I'd just upgrade it with the next turbo... IE 80mm Just me... Power Addict

 

no, i simply marked the shaft and the compressor wheel and re-aligned it when i put it back together.

 

i wanted to upgrade to the MM/BHR GT3071R, but with the way things are going over there, i have to wait. plus, $1800 isn't something i can just toss up right now.

but yea, if you are able to upgrade, i would definately do it. the journal bearing type turbo isn't reliable.

 

Not just that but think of the extended boost range come race gas...

 

Why wouldnt you want a shop to do the install? You have me second guessing my decision. They seem to do really good work. I received an update last night, and he said it was almost done. I may be able to even pick it up tonight.

 

Thanks.

 

Just that they are under time pressure which can lead to shortcuts . If they are good mechanics you will be fine - if not look out

 

Well I dropped it off on Tuesday night, and I was told I could pick it up tomorrow. He said it was about 11 hours of work including the installation of the Blitz boost controller. Hopefully everything works out fine.

 

dont mess with boost til you have everything figured out

 

yeah I am not gonna touch the boost until I get the car tuned. I am going to run the base map for the Emanage Ultimate, then use the AP when I get to Seattle.

 

Hey dan, Is this the rebuild kit to use to rebuild the stock turbo in the greddy kit?

Hey man I'm new to forum and outta of Everett, Wa would like to see car sometime if your down South

The car is up and running. It's running the base Ultimate map right which is like 5 psi. The car definitely pulls a little, didnt really want to get on it to much with it not being fully tuned. Tomorrow I will have the car tuned, If you want to see it today or tomorrow I will be in Seattle. Let me know.
