Do you have a WS6 TA or normal TA? Was thinking of selling the Tial and the Turbonetics Delta Gate I had and getting a Turbosmart 38mm. The turbonetics WG is even taller than the Tial, by almost an inch! The Turbosmart is around a half inch shorter than the Tial and does have a fitting at the top either, so its even shorter.

I didn't realize more than 3 people got their kits I put the deposit down on one, waited like 9 months for them to deliver with them giving lots of excuses. When I asked for my money back, Marco sent me a check for like $800 with promises of sending the rest later. I did give him a few weeks, and when no additional money came, I told him I'd have to take him to small claims, and his response was, "well, I'm rich and have a lot of lawyers, so good luck with that". I got the rest of my money from the credit card company because they were nice enough to do a charge back They had no obligation to do it past 90 days!

This is actually the same kit from his car. It's been passed around a few times. I bought the kit from Bill (TURBOLS1SS), re-coated all of the hot side and put it on my red '98 z28, I sold that car to 86cutlass350 on here, he F'd up the motor and took out the turbo in the process and sold the kit to ttransam, who sold it to xtremedime. And thats the end of the history lesson

I had mine done at their shop. Marco was running some sort of transit service with Semi's and crap, I searched around for were he might be and found not alot Marco djevic or whatever- if you google marco supra then you find out his name. He has a nack for running his mouth and not delivering. I sold my car, no ac lines ever came in, but the guy that bought my car is still running it with no issues, besides a seal on the wastegate and some weld issues.

I'd hit up either 86cutlass350 or ttransam, it was on the car when I sold it to 86cutlass, it had 90* bends welded to the waterpump housing to make the coolant lines run under the dp.

What did everyone do for plug wires on the passenger side? Looks pretty tight but Im thinking with heatshields on the wires and some wrap on the header that the normal length wires would work...

I have heat shields and some reflective heat wrap on parts of the wires with a couple coils rotated with custom length plug wires. Havn't seen anyone do it with stock length plug wires? Don't think it will work.
