turbos done

Hey whats up?
Just thought I'd let everyone know the turbos in and done. I finished it last week and not for nothing this thing is pulling pretty hard. I tryed to put up some pics but it didn't work out (meaning I don't know how) anyway if you want to see more check out my myspace page (reilly0878). And if anyone els has done a turbonetics kit let me know I got some questions.

Thanks everyone,
Yes I did it my self, I am a heavy equipment tech have been for almost 8 years now. I did it in the garage over a weekend. The directions say it can be done in 6 to 8 hours but I'm kinda slow I guess it took me almost 14 with basic hand tools. The hardest parts were the fuel pump, injectors, and a couple of the pipes were mf too. Other than those it went pretty smooth.
I am running no cat so I keep getting o2 sensor codes but other than that it's running good. I thought it had power before now it's out of control. This is the first car I put a turbo on and I wish I did it sooner.
I do want to get a ecu upgrade. Because it feels like it's lacking, but I'm still not sure wich one to go with.
P.S.
Hi tech, I tryed to call u a couple times but I think that # I got is wrong hit me up on myspace

Ben, you can never reach him lol...dude's got a new prepaid phone every week

I suggest you be careful with the reflash as it's proven to cause issues in the past. Whatever EMU you decide with, give Ballistic a call to get it tuned right

wow, crazy timing... i'm seriously considering a single turbo setup right now (TN or APS ST). any advice you can give me? here's some general questions I have...
- Which setup is better (APS or TN)?
- Is the included engine management in each sufficient?
- Would you recommend a VB upgrade for my 5AT?
- how much should i expect to pay for a used ST kit, VB upgrade, install, and tune? (is that all I would need?)

thanks, and 'grats on your project

1. Neither is "better"...it's subjective
2. NO
3. YES, and a cooler, or you'll end up like me
4. Don't buy used
