Did it quiet it down a whole lot..? Or is it just as loud with turbo noises mine's going on in mid july and definitely don't wanna lose the motordyne sound.

looking at this and the z fever kit, and where I'd rather not have all that heat right in the bay I also need the intake higher than where the BP kit's filter ends up.

Is there any way in hell to fit a 3" intake tube up the passenger side to get the filter some where in the engine bay? I live where when it rains it RAINS and there is alot of standing water since the island is flat and at sea level.

You could probably fabricate an intake pipe and route the filter wherever you want but I don't think it's required. You would have to drive thru water deeper than the center of your axel hubs before you would get water on the filter. Driving through a puddle won't matter cuz there's enough heat to evaporate it away.

What most people don't realize is some of the TT lots have he filter just as low. The GTM kit route the filter to the bumper where the washer fluid reservoir used to be and it's about the same elevation as my BP filter.

It's kind of hard to tell looking at the underside pics of the BP kits but it seemed like the filter was just above the subframe. looks like I should be ok if it's above the hub center. Thanks

I'll let you know which ever route I take :ughdance:

Any differences in the kit if its going on a G37?

For those who are running a Motordyne Exhaust, are you running the 2.5 inch or 3 inch turbo version?

Z Fever in Tampa? Do some research first. They do not have the greatest reputation and have put out some hackjobs in the past.

Thanks for clarifying, so far my single turbo search results came up with BP, Z fever and STS.

My main hesitation was the oil less turbo part. I would LOVE to get an BW S362 or EFR8374 in place of the COMP turbo but the COMP's seem pretty damned reliable once the service instructions are followed.

I'll get my self in a position to join in on the BP kit on the next round or 2. :tup:

No problem. Would hate to see you get jobbed by someone.... I DO wish they were reputable as they are local to me... FYI I don't think Z Fever ships their kit- I think you have to ship them your car so they can hack it on themselves. If that is something you are interested in, there are some great shops that will do a custom top-mount style single turbo job for you - I believe JTRAN in Houston has done it and they have a great rep. Incidentally, they also tuned my car and are great/honest people who have gone above and beyond to ensure my satisfaction.

STS also has a poor reputation, and if you go read a book about turbocharging you will start to realize the flaws inherent to their design.

For our platform, and in kit form, the only real choice for single turbo is the BP kit which has a great reputation. Had I not gotten such a great deal on my TT setup, I'd probably be a BP user myself. Good luck and do a lot of reading in this subforum - there is a ton of knowledge stored here.

I've heard that elsewhere too... Though it seems they are still taking care of previous customers to some extent. Glad to be "grandfathered" in there.... but sad for the community to lose such an awesome shop.

Coincidentally, I happened to exchange facebook messages with Johnny today. I scored an Ecutek tuning cable/dongle not long ago and he is going to touch my tune up for a few things dating back to when I got tuned 1.5 years ago.. they never got addressed since I pretty much got tuned and then drove 1000 miles away immediately. Great service still, too bad they aren't taking on new work.

Sensor 1 is the fuel trim sensor. If I recall properly it's the passenger side that sits directly over the turbo. Mine gave me issues after install. I replaced it and code went away. I also wrapped the sensor wiring and harness with thermo-etc heat sleeve.

Ni55anPat 07-18-2017 08:06 AM

It's the air fuel o2 sensor correct?
