Just want to clarify something here since we are getting questions whether Ecutek will be replacing UpRev. This is not the case, we are still going to offer both of them since they are both good options. The reason we are also offering Ecutek is because it offers a lot of features that improve the overall functionality of our turbo kits. It is simply another option for people.

Also, it's not a question of whether or not Ecutek will make more power, but it does offer features that improve the experience.

megalapagas · 05-29-2013, 01:32 PM

This is Such a Noob question (so flame suit is on) but from experienced FI users whats the difference between these turbos and ball bearing turbos?? im confused as to how these turbos make about the same whp to the other turbos gtm sells that are more expenssive. i believe its the Garrett turbos i think that are the expenssive ones not really sure but yea can i have some feedback because i am interested on these and could just call and pay in my lunch break.

p.s: my 370z is an 7A/T, forgot to put that in there. and can the 7A/T hold on the 18G or just STRICTLY 16G?

so by what it says ball bearing turbos Spool faster and gets you More Optimized performance then.....so really there isnt a difference just the mere fact one is more improved than other? and do journal turbos cause lag or maybe i misunderstood that on the description i read??

I want the SC 1.5, however, $1700 almost buys a clutch, radiator, and an oil cooler. I will be closing the deal tomorrow when they open.

Doubt you will find anyone who sells them, best bet is to take your TP and have a shop cut up a set of factory cats and weld them onto the TP to 'look' like OEM.

Ha that's what I was considering doing actually. Sounds so ghetto but it could be worth it. I might just get some test pipes and roll the dice for now and hope they don't pay much attention.

I did this when I was a young buck. JB Welded stripped cats around off-road pipes and then painted the "welds" silver. Passed visual inspection.
