Hey guys, well the kit got finished this weekend.

Will have updates soon with DYNO graphs and shots where I actually have the body kit put back on.

Can't give enough thanks to Jamie from Powertech Imports. Couldn't have dealt with a better person. Thanks again Jamie!

Anyhow, here are some in process shots.

Cheers!

Actually it's the GT2871R. And I love it! Not dynoed yet so I'm taking it easy and just driving like a grandma until then.

After that I'm going to smoke off my two front tires just to get it out of my system.

I'm super pleased with the kit itself esthetically, and with Jamie's service on this, it was unbelievable. I learned so much from this whole experience. I highly recommend the kit. I assure you, you won't be dissapointed.

ahhh hahhaa 2871R, goin for the big power eh?

can you tell us dyno numbers please? I was talking to Protech earlier and i think Jamie called him while I was talking to them

I'll post DYNOs as soon as get one. It' sonly street tuned right now. Going to the dyno in teh next few days. Grandmothering it till then.

damn...talk about some truck tires..

 

[SilverStreakCDN]

Yeah they're only there so I was able to take the wheels on and off for the install quickly, without worrying about damaging my 18s. But yeah, they are some serious wheel gap fillers fer sure.

Very nice!!! Congradulations! Welcome to the family..

I expect there will be more pictures to follow

Funny that someone posts new pictures of their newly turboed Spec-V, and people make comments on the tires/wheel gap??

Awsome setup.
I cant wait to get the rest O my shiz.......this is driving me nuts.

How you liking that 2871? When does the power really start to come on?
How does it sound with that 14 inch res?

Man that's great! Thoses piping looks great too!

BTW, the PTI turbo kit don't include the removal of the 2nd runners butterfly? I tought it was better to remove them with turbo applications...

 

[svrspec04]

How much did the kit cost u? And how much was everything after installation and all?

Why is it that on EVERY SINGLE post about a satisfied PTI customer... people want to know how much it cost and what the install ran you.

USE THE SEARCH BUTTON!

Or better yet. Visit PTI's site at: www.powertechimports.com

Call a local tuner shop and ask them how much they charge to install a turbo kit.

JESUS!

Yes the kit does call for you to remove the butterfly valves, apparently it hadn't been done yet in that pic.

Yeah, that was taken right before we took them out. But yes, they do come out for the install. I had them loctited from the dealer with the red, but they still came out pretty easy. Makes you wonder...

Love the turbo so far... but it still needs to be tuned. The power comes on almost imediatly wen you step on it, but the car is still quite drivable at low speeds.

 

[SpeC-V_Freak]

How does it sound? Deep? Throaty? Like a swarm of angry bees?

 

[DarKStaR]

^^^ Yup, would be interessted in hearing it as well Do you have access to a camera or something? thanks in advance

 

[chimmike]

2871 is overkill for a stock QR25

basic differences between the GT28RS and the GT2871R are compressor sizes. That's what allows the 2871R more top end....(still more than a stock QR can handle even with the gt28RS)

no turbo car will ever sound like a buzzing honda. Also, turbo cars are generally half as loud as a car with a header.

I ran no cat, no resonator, just straight pipe to muffler from the turbo and mine wasn't that loud. Hell, before i put the resonator on my car with the stock header on and no cat, it was louder than my turbo setup.
