Turbo Charging Dynamics!

[fairweatherpunk]

Turbo Charging Dynamics! I know I just asked about TRM (The racers Market) but does anybody know anything about TCD's turbo kits. It's looks like they are just getting started, but I like the way the kit looks. The intercooler is kind of centered to where all lot of the air goes. It looks like a nice kit. I'm just trying to figure out the best bang for the buck. AA at $10,900 is definitely out of reach for me even though there are things I like about their kit. The only thing I don't like about TCD's kit is that software not included and it looks like you may need to add some extra things to the kit. I know a lot of guys that like to go all custom, but there you also run into certain problems especially if you don't know any fabricators in the area. Just trying to get some F.I. info and trying to make an educated decision. Thanks for the help guys.

Awesome, Awesome kit def worth every penny! Great kit for the price!

I'm surprised the AA kits haven't come down since all the new players on the market....their kit costs more and makes less power. The only thing right now about TCD and TRM is they don't have tuning for OBD-II.

Technique Tuning still the way to go though....

True, although your better off just getting a standalone unit and jumping on a dyno anyways.

Not so sure that is wise unless you know exactly what the hell you're doing and then, you could get a tune through the stock DME good for 600+rwhp from NickG still.

I don't think I'll ever go standalone because I don't ever plan on running race gas, which seems to be the main reason for going standalone (multiple maps.)

Maniac,
there are more advantages than that with a stand alone. Removing the MAS, awesome datalogging capablities, and many more tuning parameters than a normal DME.

You can buy start up chip's from TCD for there turbo kits.

[itsabimmerthing]

Yes, the chips are awesome, but not near anything of a standalone.
There are tuners of standalones that unlock up to 80 dynohp (saw it on Evos anyway) just on a better tune, going from some of the best reflashed chips on the market. Datalogging, as I mentioned is one of the most important things. Removing many restrictions, and being able to tune all parameters, and get rid of the retarded computer from the factory is nice.
You can run antilag, NLTS features, and all kinds of other goodies.
Buy quality the first time,
Not the second.

How many people has got a TCD turbo kit for his obd1 car?

I have not read any reviews on TCDs products but I can tell you this, the guys that make up TCD are real guys like us and true enthusiasts. They spent about 45 minuts on the phone with me telling me about the different turbo set ups the advantages and disadvantages of the different setups and what I would need and how it all works, Tips on installation, all the opions and lots of other good info. And the whole time they never tried to push as sale. Just two guys talking about the love for thier e34s

That tells allot about the products that they would sell. I have decided to go with a compressor but if turbo is your thing, TCD can give you some great info!
