2.0 TurboSystem: How would YOU want it?
#227
My preferences as far as this goes:
-Easy install (complete setup)
-Simple (not too many parts)
-Walkthrough Manual on install
-Warranty
-High quality parts
Can you tell us why you are pricing it at 4000 dollars?
Thanks in advance

Ouch!! A wee more than what i was hoping prices to be. And what a bummer you don't get a boost controller in your setup, you would think that would just be included or have it on one of the options, since you are showing the possibilities of it hitting 360 with it. Hmm I'm going to have to think about this for a lil bit....
I'm going to PM you Bill about some more details... But great Job getting it all done Bill Jr.

Bill, you will have a PM shortly about a Level 2 variation as soon as I find out about something that I working on right now. Any chance to see pictures of the intercooler piping? Very fair pricing by the way.

Boost controllers range from $15 DIY to $600. A good manual boost controller, Hallman for example is only around a $100, so you don't necessarily have to spend $300 on one. Hell my Integra uses a $15 DIY one that holds pressure great without creep for that matter, so that's more of a preference than anything.
Hey Bill will the downpipe come with a bung installed in it for wideband monitoring? And what color will the piping be? Didn't you say black unless stated otherwise for an extra charge? And what would that extra charge be for a different color piping? Thanks

The Cobalt however may see the AEM one since I can replace my stock boost gauge with it to see increased boost and have an easy palce to mount it meanwhile utilizing the boost control part effectively killing three birds with one stone!
Bill, more so than the intercooler piping routes, I would like to see how the turbos outlet, inlet, etc are facing more than anything. Is the piping the same for the 20g kit as it was on the GT35R swap? Thanks again!

Good point, I've been just used to and love the GReDDY one myself which like you said is 300. All in all the pricing is very fair because he is allowing you to pretty much create your own kit as well. Which most company's will not.

Fact is, if we get custom color requests in the frst batch of orders, the charges will be reasonable...I'd estimate another 25-50 bux a system, depending on the colors (some will be more expensive than that, such as candies, metallics, etc) . It will be more costly once we get down the road a piece and have pre-coated pipes in standard gloss black on hand, for then we'll have to re-coat them for custom colors.
I can't deny that my Integra has recently been upgraded to the Greddy one itself, but it was not $300 for me. My buddy did some work for a guy who in return gave it to him to which it was installed on my Integra since he has no turbo'd cars and has a lot of time into the Integra along with me.

Yes, this S20G system is laid out exactly like the GT35R version. We made the systems as close as possible...easy upgrades later for those who get busy! To swap in a GT35R should involve just a hose coupler and a single charge air pipe, some oil line revisions, and a different exhaust outlet housing...they may even end up using the same downpipes! Adding GT35R will also involve adding watercooling to support the ball-bearings, whereas S20G does not require coolant.

Bill, the Greddy boost controller does indeed have that capability with the remote switch. I have one for my Integra to test when I return, as my buddy just put in my new clutch, slicks are awaiting, and once I return we'll be hitting the track to use it. If I like it enough, I'll pick up one for the Cobalt too! I never rule out anything until I get to see it or give it a go!

- relocate your washer bottle
- tend to some sensor differences
- compare throttle body mounting (may be the same, not sure at this time, perhaps someone here knows)
- extend wiring for MAF and throttle body
- take care of your own tuning
We don't have a standard policy on this, but I will look into it

Bill,
I thought you might enjoy this and maybe it'll drum up some more business for you.
I this is a post I made in another thread IRT him wanting so desperately to get a new SS/TC. I cleaned the language up a bit from the original post. Post it on your site or something.
Now, back to the subject of a military discount.....

Personal opinion, you're making a mistake buying the new TC.
Outside of me trying to sell you my car, pay attention to the way I'm thinking.
Look at the price of most any SC now, bottom dollar. Granted, they aren't set up like mine, but they're dirt cheap. $15k give or take depending on the miles.
Also, look at the Stage 5, fully funtional, bolt-on, top of the line Hahn turbo kit for the 2.0. This kit is ready to go. It's not some lost cause like the SC swaps that people have been trying. This kit is tested, proven, in production, and for sale now from a reputable company for about $4400.
Giving you a total of around $20K for a car that is already proven capable of 360hp on pump gas and will kick the crap out of a brand new TC by 100hp.
Now we'll look at the TC which you're so in love with.
$25,000 + financing = about $30K?
Save you're money, do it right. If you're buying a TC because you think it's badass, you're sadly mistaken and will just end up dissappointed all over again. Buy a car that nobody wants, debadge it, maybe even get a lowpro spoiler, and build a real badass 4cyl beast that will have everybody wondering what the hell you have under the hood.

Somebody help me out here. Which is better?:
~$20K for 360hp
or
~$30K for 260hp
and a car that you know you're going to want to mod.
If you say you're not, you're lyin' to yourself.
~$20K for 360hp
or
~$30K for 260hp
and a car that you know you're going to want to mod.

Forgive me, I don't mean to get hung up on details, hahaha...your comparison is still very sobering!
I am still looking into the military thing. Hey, for those of you who have taken advantage of such military discounts...what do the vendors require you to provide to verify your military status?
We've looked at payment systems and financing in the past, and it's just not a good fit for our company, we've learned.
