New Turbo Kit Sneak Peek(Ptuning)

[kanundrum]

Yea we all had a meet this past weekend and they took a few folks for a drive everyone seemed to love it and the GT30 makes a really nice airplane sound.

I rode in the car this weekend....runs awesome w/ great drivability.

We did a pull from 2nd gear around 20mph and up to 5th @ around 120 witch was great, but what really impressed me was the normal around town driving in traffic. Between 2500-4000 rpms and still having instant throttle response with boat loads more torque in that range.

I was very impressed with the PTuning team and there knowledge, I had a fun time picking their brain on their FI setup which is still young in development, I see lots of good things coming from Ptuning in the near future.

My favorite sounding turbo so far. I have one so I"m biased..

[ecko04]

I had one of their kits & it was my daily driver when I lived in Atlanta, GA, Charlotte, NC, Dumfries, VA (commuting to Alexandria daily) & Auburn, AL.

Never experienced a single problem. Then again I don't track my vehicles. They're just for the personal use and permagrin.

That's an awesome plus for this kit! Means I can get my UEL header now and money wouldn't be wasted when I go turbo in the future. Still drawn to the AVO kit thought due to the mechanical oil pump. This kit would be a no brainer if a similar setup would work.

I'm just browsing and pre-spending my money.. Unfortunately FI funding is a ways out yet.

If this uses the stock headers I can see this being way below that price. Then again that exhaust work looks so good, I would pay money for that.

Yes, that is correct. You can use any existing header with our setup. With that said, we'll be testing our own prototype header in the next week or so. We're anticipating that our great results thus far are going to get even better.

Full of Win.

We'd like to thank everyone for all the positive feedback and wanted to reiterate a few things.

Our turbo system is the only one thus far that uses a full 4" diameter piping from the filter all the way to the 4" turbo inlet on the anti-surge compressor housing of the GT3076R.

The distance should not be of a concern to anyone, since a 4" diameter pipe has a cross-sectional area ALMOST TWICE that of 3" diameter piping. This is the reason we went to such great lengths to design a full 4" intake pipe. In addition, our compressor housing is unmolested. No hacked or welded inlet, and no restrictive 90 deg cast pipe welded to the compressor outlet either.

For those questioning the intercooler piping length, this should also not be of a concern to anyone. Creating an intercooler piping setup with smooth radius bends from the compressor outlet to the throttle body is just as important as minimizing the length. Again, we have no short radius 90 degree neck or anything welded onto the compressor outlet.

In addition, in case anyone missed it, our intercooler piping length is still shorter than the ones on any stock-manifold Subaru with a FMIC.

As the independent reviewers (the guys who were given a test ride) can vouch for, our transient boost response is pretty badass, even with a turbo that supports about 100whp more than the others.

I wonder if oil cooler lines from a plate under the filter would fit under that cold-side IC pipe.

Shorter intercooler piping > longer intercooler piping...nothing anecdotal about it, homeslice.

Having BEEN in this car I can tell you the transient response is excellent.

The anecdotal evidence was not talking about intercooler length, obviously. It was referencing your own driveability review of the kit, close friend from the neighborhood. Which is why I referenced your name, orbitz.

"Got a ride in it. Pretty street friendly for 300hp. Transient response is NOT worrisome at all; quick boost."

So excited to see this kit progress.

I believe my reading comprehension is lacking, my apologies oshkosh.

I want to see more close ups and details [please]
