The Greddy kit should be one of the easier ones to install, so my estimate might be a little bit high, but I would still budget for more.

Anybody heard anything about blowing stock catalytic converters with turbo kits on this car!? I heard this horror story recently and want to check if this was an isolated issue or are people activley switching to high flow cats to prevent this?? Especially greddy kit owners?

I only know of one person who had issues with the cats on an OEM header based turbo kit. I thought the Greddy kit came with a new manifold that replaced the OEM header and cats since it is a front mounted turbo setup.

It does, but there's 2 cats no? In the frontpipe? That doesnt get changed

Yeah there is one, but that is way after the turbo, downpipe, and overpipe. What horror story are you referencing? I was talking about the one where the cat broke down and the metal from it destroyed a turbo because the cat was pre turbo.

Semi horror. The cat just blew out at the welds from the preassure about 2 days ago. So he has to replace with a highflow or remove altogether. He is local

Hi - Gready Tunners ..
I am about to install my Turbo and decided to go for ECUTEC.. but in South Africa the 86 Turbo setup is limited as every other 86 here runs SC..
So my question \ advice \ cry of help to you is , can you share your ECUTEC maps with me to at least have a baseline start setup . ECUTEC will assist remotely with maps ect , but I first need to start and send them my log file ..

PM me if you can help .. thx

we have some customers who have been running to kit for over a year no problems.
Give us a shout if we can help, we are also greddy authorized, and to the best of my knowledge have the highest HP greddy kit out there. (posted elsewhere on the forum)

Great little kit! I still am at 7psi, plan to go higher in a few years. As of right now I have 250 whp on dynojet and almost 0 lag. Its a beauty to drive. Its been on the car since december 2013. No problems so far

mines still running strong at 12PSI and it's my daily. I just got my car back from being tuned on e85 as well and it made 307 WHP on a mustang.

30+ track\time attack days and about 20k miles with the kit and it's still going strong. Just get your oil/radiator cooling figured out and it's a champ.

Hi, i'm new to turbo kits and planning to install this kit soon.
Do i need other extras like blow off valve, oil cooler or wastegate?
I am planning to run 7psi at start but will increase later on probably, so would appriciate suggestions.
