and by bugs out i mean, TSI has "worked" all the bugs out of their kit for the d17. I called and talked to a guy from Turbo Specialties and was asking about the kit, told him I was interested. He said that the manifold issues have been resolved, and that it fits fine with NO fabrication needed to it. All of the intercooler piping/charge piping is all worked out also. You get to keep AC for SURE, no ifs an's or but's. Just thought I would let everyone know.

mmM if they can get it right...its a cheaper alternative too compared to other kits...but still you get what you pay for....

i mean yeh your saving yourself a grand or so...but i mean your gettin generic stuff (tsi bov?) compared to like the dezod kit where you get name brand everything

Obviously you haven't heard TSI's blow off valve. Everyone else with a TSI kit can back me up, it sounds niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice Very very loud too.

ohhhhhh yeah. I alsmost nutted the first time I heard it. I was like, WTF??? It doesnt sound cheap or generic at all.

I posted a few days ago the issues with the kit. I installed mine last weekend.

Just have a dremel, a hammer, and possibly saws ready. hehe.

It isnt that bad of an install at all. Just still need some shaving of the top right (drivers side) of the manifold. They shaved some of it for the fitment issues, but not the right part of it, lol. I also needed to buy one flexitube from a store to be able to turn right a little. But you DO keep a/c, and the isntall isnt that bad at all. Have a few friends helping you and it will get done in about 30-40 hours i would say. Good luck, you'll like the kit, I got my new ICU yesterday, so hopefully I can tune it today to run good til monday (pro. tuned).

Peace

Boost_Junkie, hit me up on AIM sometime (EternalBlueVic) and i'll send ya a video clip

the Tial's and Greddy's are very high pitched compared to TSI's. The TSI bov is more of a louder mid-pitched PSSSSSSSSSSSSKAKAKAKAKAKA at low boost and PSSSSSSSSSSSSZZZZZZZZZKAAAA at high boost

good to know they got the bugs worked out.

eternal when ya gona fix your pipings im nervious even for you hehe.

i love the sound of loud bov's but i want one as quiet as i can find due to i want my car to be a sleeper.

 
Rep Power: 284

haha, i will once it becomes a problem, but i still have yet to have a problem due to it
look into getting a bypass valve rather than a blow off, one that recirculated to the intake before the compressor rather than vented to the atmosphere, much quieter, and if i'm not mistaken, makes no noise at all. If so, then very little.

ya somone told me about that before but i forgot. will it work for 20psi+ all the parts that i am ordering and things that i am fixing on my sf kit are done so with 20+ psi in mind

Here's 2 TurboXS racing bypass valves, H-34, H-25:

Note it says, "This valve is not loud compared to an atmosphere BOV."

I am going to make a new thread about the TSI D17 kits. I just got off the phone with them and have new information.

so if i get the tsi turbo kit... would I be able to exchange BOV easily or would it not even be worth the trouble. I want one of the GReddy ones

You will most likely need a new GReddy Type S flange welded on the charge pipe.

Yeap, they only mate to their flanges, the good thing is though that the type RS and the Type S are interchangable on the same Greddy flange

maxrev needs to rework their kit as well!

what kind of BOV does the TSI kit use TCC works BOV? can someone please take a pic of it?

 
Rep Power: 0

cant find the picture but from what i remmber it looks like this...



the black part has 2 holes in it.. basicly a large rubber tube.. one pipe goes in... one pipe goes out.. basicly connects 2 pipes together

Here's a pic of it under my hood:











And here's a better pic of it: http://www.sportcompactonly.com/prod...=1196&catid=45

the best thing about it is that it does not have to be welded. It comes with a huge rubber T fitting
