People i guess have personal issues that they should just take it up SBR personally instead of getting ugly on site.

 

Did you see the JB weld on the radiator from his wastegate hitting it? You won't have that problem with a SBR kit.

 

All you have from him is a intake and UICP. I bet you have never had hands on experence with a upgraded turbo kit.

 

Accually the only reason the WG hit was b/c it wasn't adjusted properly (it was late and i wanted to be done with it)
I haven't had a problem since.

 

That is fine, but like I said you won't have that problem with the SBR kit. It is no where near the radiator. I am happy with my kit and I am sure you are happy with yours. I am just tired on these kids talking sh*t about a upgraded turbo kit when they have no first hand experence with having one or even putting one on.

 

Understandable, the threads that have come up in the last month or so have just really turned people away from SBR. I myself ordered my Buschur kit way before any animosity started with SBR. I just went with the what the best was using, i guess that makes me gullible but hey, i am more than happy. I guess what im trying to say is that when people are going to spend $3k+ on performance parts, the other members on this forum, while blunt, just want to steer them in the right direction based on reviewed products. Im sure SBR is a good company and from the sounds of the recent posts the customer service is top notch but if i were to choose on a turbo kit again i would still probably rule them out based on the UK thread.

 

This is the only "problem" that I had with my AMS kit, install or otherwise. I cut/re-cut/re-positioned my stock radiator hose in every possible configuration trying to figure out how to get the hose away from the exhaust mani as it was basically touching it and I felt the heatshield to be a patch at best.

Eventually I did end up melting through the stock radiator hose. I went to Advance autoparts and they let me dig around in the rad hoses until I found one that was shaped like my stocker, but with more agressive bends. It works absolutely perfectly and looks like it was engineered for the AMS kit. Cost me $10 and I'm glad I was in my driveway when the stock coolant hose popped.

 

I am just trying to defend SBR and give other opinions anout their product. Alot of people are quick to jump and put SBR down when they have never used their turbo kit or even had a turbo kit of their own to have to deal with the problens you encounter when putting aftermarket parts on a car. I am sure when AMS or Buschur first had kits out they probley had some problems with them also. It takes time and people useing the products to find out their flaws. I am happy with my SBR kit. Here is my dyno chart even. I am also still on the stock block.

 

Agreed,
Nice numbers

 

how many lbs of boost is the 534 run on?

 

26 psi. That was done on C-16 and meth. The 508 was on 91 and meth. The hotside and manifold is a little small for good exhaust evacution and why the numbers are kinda low for a 35r. I need a .82 a/r hotside to try to pick up the numbers a little. I never said this kit was perfect.

Do not post anyting related to street racing again...

lol i had the buschur 35r kit and it has the smallest exhaust housing ive ever seen on a turbo this size but it made 506 and 434 at the wheels and spooled much faster than alot of other kits

 

Basically what i would do is just go with your gut feeling and which kit you like best and who you think will give you the best customer service. Do a little research and find out which one you think will suit you. It's hard for people to say get this one instead of that one unless they've experienced with both compainies. I went with the AMS because i did some research and i found which i liked better and if i had to do it again i woudl go with AMS again. Just my .02

 

well heres the update.

Defently gotta give these guys mad props for hookin me up. Chris and Mike for giving im sure the oks and what not but i gotta give it up to these guys for an amazing un beatable price on the turbo kit, injectors, and their complete front mount kit.

Im just waiting on the manifold, all the piping, and all the bolts and gaskets. hope they are here in the next 2 weeks

edit: I apolagize for the comment about Full-Race. They are a quality company and make some great stuff. If I had a Honda, I would go full-race no doubt
