What are the bad things you are hearing about it? Its probably best to mention them so that people who do have the kit can explain to you why that problem may have occured in that particular situation.

The only problem I have heard about the turbonetics kit was from the earlier kits that had the overboost spike problem which has been fixed on the newer kits.

I have the kit, I like it! The only problem I had with it was the ac hose getting burnt up. I went and had some beefy hoses made and not it runs good. The other thing I hate, no piggy back ems comes with it. All u get is a reflash with the kit. Other than that, its smooth running.

Yeah, you can reroute it if you like...just making some beefy hoses was fine for me.

Mines not done, but I did just go through the A/C reroute. I double heat wrapped the TN line, wrapped the up-pipe, and even though it will be hard to put more on now since the turbo is it, I'm going to try to put some on Down pipe # 1 and the wastegate discharge tube.

I'm worried about the seal where it plugs in by the radiator, i really was rough on that pipe trying to get the turbo onto its flange. Hopefully its ok. Idk how ud change it without taking the turbo out, something I def don't want to do.

Also, I've heard about drain problems with the AAM spacer and oil drain line, hopefully mine flows alright, It looks like the problem might be that the line doesn't connect to the spacer at an angle.
