turbo "kits" are crap... if you want a little extra boost then go for it but if you want performance or the ability to upgrade... don't do the "kit"... build it.

that is not true at all, it depends entirely on the individual company

germ is a great guy, ive worked with him, he p&p my u & l im, put on ls1 valve springs and knife edged my throttle body. the difference is amazing and his work and craftsmanship are incredible, if you are going to spend money on parts for your car that he makes, buy them from him you wont be dissapointed.

sounds like he meant mass produced kits are crap, and alerored's expirience with you and donkeypunch proves that other MASS produced kits are in fact crap.

i went to the track today and man i have to admit, every penny i have now is going towards me builduing my kit, im in the process of buying the main parts, then to put the small pieces together and install, it, then im going back to the track

i gotcha now.

i was surely hopeing that he wasnt refering to donkey punch. we are not out to make tons of money, our prices reflect that, however, we dont make them in advance and we do them one at a time and put a lot of time and effort into each "kit".

they are not the "pretty" mass produced kits that is provided by others, but ours works, and works pretty damn well if i say so myself, lol.

No Germ i'm not callin your stuff bad... actually i commend your stuff... that's what i'm saying... don't go with one of those mass produced kits because they don't do enough... they aren't worth the money... if you are gonna turbocharge a vehicle make it worth it... it doesn't have to be pretty... it has to work... and it has to work well... i welded the intercooler piping into the Z24 we did.... i moved the shift bracket... i modifyed the intake and the blowoff flange... i modifyed the oil return flange and the wastegate... why did i do all that? casue it wasn't a kit... so it needed a little work and was a little more time consuming... but my freind is getting DOUBLE what those "kits" put out.... he hasn't had it on a dyno yet casue he is still tuning his feul controller and stuff but i'd say from the looks of it our work paid off and the mass produced "kits" that peak at 6 or 9 psi or whatever they're doing suck ass... he built the engine to take as much as he wants... even got a group buy for some 3ply metal gaskets off j-body so when it's ready he plans on feeding it 17 for daily driving and 25 at the track... we'll see how that works out.... he has 5,000$ into but that includes the fuel pump, dual fans, 3 guages, apexi fuel controller, forged pistons rods... new engine... exhaust, turbo components, and a few other things... so for the money i think he did good. better than a lot out there... mad props to you for doing it yourself too... it's not an easy thing to do

Hey, i know its been a little while since the last post, but i just started looking into this.

How hard is it to install one of your kits germ? Like i was wondering if it was easy enough to do over a weekend with the right tools, or is it better to get it done professional? Also about how much WHP does the stage 3 kit put out? And i noticed that the kit from Turbo Charged Power came with headers, does the donkey punch kit come with headers or is that something else i should get separately? I really am liking the sound of the kit being made with more time put in, i just wanted to know a little more information before putting a lot of money into it.

i have tubular turbo headers for sale and you then you can piece together the rest to push as much boost as you want, or at least as much as teh engine can handle.......

germ

yes, our kits come with log style turbo headers.


you can expect close to 300 whp on the level 3 kit, which is about 360 crank hp


basically, you can check out our store and forums and find out all the info you need about the kits and specs.


and on a side note...

hahahaha, sorry, i had to laugh @ tubo-alero for a second, i thought you were actually going to turbo the alero finally, or did you finally realize its not as easy as you thought it would be.

so now im an asshole and a douchebag... ouch, your words really hurt me man. you can laugh and try and make me look like a dumbass in other posts, but when i lol at you, you get all butt hurt. /yourself you hipocrit

funny how your family emergancy is forcing you to sell the alero and turbo and s/c, and yet, in this thread, your going to buy another car/truck when your poop is sold... http://invision.aleromod.com/index.php?showtopic=14942&hl=


if your having a family issue, then sorry for your luck, but poop happens to all of us, including me, but dont get all anal about an internet forum, how the f*** am i supposed to know your family issues? do i know you, nope, are we friends, nope, do i call you at night and read you bedtime stories, nope. so just chill the hell out because you and sc alero have been razzing on me for a while and when i make any type of come back, not even a good one at that, you get all poopty and act all high and mighty and get pissy with me. i could care less what you have going on with your family as you could care less what i have going on with my family. i dont expect you to care, and you shouldnt care what i think either. its the flipping internet, and if you can dish it out but cant take it when you get it back, your the one thats wrong. funny how karma works sometimes.

ok, the only thread i confronted you on really was your dyno results thread. why? because you are or plan on making products for the alero community (ok maybe not specifically for the community, but will work because of the 3400). I not saying you are a bad guy or making it out to be that way, but i just want 100% of the information to be up front for the people of the alero community

so if your getting it for free, why do you have to sell your car first, and the turbo stuff?

yep, you did confront me on that thread, with useless counter points. you were trying to compare my results with a 3100 to another car with a 3400, apples and oranges. you expected higher results than what i had because of some odd reason, even though i am using a smaller moter with less hp and i made similar results with it. and yet you wanted to be a prick about it. so yea, before that thread, the only thing i thought about you was that you were all talk, and with my reply within this thread, that was me coming at you for talking all this poop about how easy it was to do a turbo kit and that you have this and that and you were waiting on this part or that part and now all of a sudden you give up.

maybe if you were on here other than to post your results and to sell your turbo kits you would know something happened...


maybe you should do a search with my name and read all of my posts asshat. then you may realize what a complete uninformed tool you made yourself out to be. i do a lot more helping than i do promoting. as a matter of fact, i not once have ever started a thread about my company, only replied to questions asked of me.

Ok, maybe i don't know you, no we aren't friends, i definately don't care about you, but if something happened to you, i am not gonna laugh at you, because that is just wrong, that is like laughing at people and families affected by the hurricanes "haha, you shouldn't of lived there, hahaha!" anyhoo.......and i don't really care what you think although it is interesting to see what people post in response to topics and what not.....oh and i can take it back, you can bash me all you want, because you are right it is a flipping internet forum, and yeah maybe i reacted to much, but i have a lot of poop going on and when you posted it really hit a nerve................as far as Karma, not sure the exact definition, but i don't really believe in that poop......



first of i was not laughing AT you or your family situation (hell, i didnt even know your situation), i was laughing at the fact you were selling your stuff after talking all your poop about turboing your alero for..... how long? i cant remember its been so long. and you know what, i have had family issues before, hell my wife and i just had a miscarriage a few months ago, so i feel for you about any family sitiation, so im not hating on you about that, so dont take everything so f*cking personal.

the only thing i was originally waiting on was the company, but they suck at customer service, that is when i decided to take what i had and finish off the kit myself, at that time i was in no situtation to throw down the money to start finishing, i was just starting to be able where i would at least finish the base kit, but unfortunately now i have to help my family out

What happens to all the stuff that is supposed to be where the turbo ends up going? Mainly the washer fluid reservoir, what happens to that? Also is there any problem with stock fog lights?

germ
11-04-2005, 08:06 AM
fog lights should be fine and not get in the way

the washer bottle may have to be removed/relocated

and the battery will need to be moved to the trunk (if its on the driver side of the engine bay)
