I remember hearing someone say their engine blew because the turbonetics wastegate let the boost go up to 12 lbs instead of 8 or 9.

That's a really difficulty message to read. Sorry about your problems though.

I have only heard good things about turbonetics. I ended up going with Garrett, but Turbonetics was up there.

o really i better watch that i have a boost gauge in the car, but i havent even had the chance to drive mine and i put the kit on in Jan. do to turbonetics giving me the run around. so i did some research on people who also had my kit and i found a guy that was in a magazine and he said it costed him another three grand to get fixed just to work on the road but still overheats. i took mine to anderson ford motorsports in clinton, il i am suppose to get it back soon and itching to take it out. how much is a tial bov tho
