Mental Addiction Testbed wanted

The time has come yet again to release another great turbo kit to the Protege market.The Stripper S kit is a non-intercooled version of it's big brother Sleeper. The Stripper S kit is fully upgradeable; it can be upgraded with an intercooler (then it'd be a Sleeper kit).
Mental Addiction is in need of two highly motivated and dedicated individuals that are looking for a little boost in their life. As a testbed for Mental Addiction you will get the turbo kit at a deep discount in return for providing us with a professional How-To write up, answering questions on this board about the kit, and most of all, providing a day-to-day log on how the kit is performing. Here are some requirements:

Must be 21yrs or Older
Very Mechanically-inclined
Have a second vehicle or other form of transp.
Active Member on this board as well as others
Patient
Have a job
NOT arrogant
Most of all, NOT A FLAME WAR starter or target (since you will be representing this product for us)


The Stripper series kit will include the following:

GT28RS
Thick-wall stainless tubular exhaust manifold
3" stainless steel downpipe
BoostSciences Reflex diverter valve
Black powdercoated charge piping and intake piping
Cone style air filter
SPAL 12" electric slimfan
SPAL 9" electric slimfan
High grade silicone couplers
Hose clamps
Oil feed and drain lines
Polished billet aluminum vacuum source block

Retail:$3395.
Testbed price: Serious inquires only, PM for price.

Upgrade options:

Turbonetics Raptor BOV $175
Ceramic coating for manifold, downpipe, and turbine housing $300
T-bolt clamps $25

The Stripper S kit is basically the Sleeper kit without an intercooler nor ceramic coating, and utilizes hose clamps, not T-bolt clamps.

If you feel you meet these minimal requirements and are looking to join the Darkside, please PM me with your proposal.<!-- / message --><!-- sig -->

^^ Awwe dude if you get it, I want to help. I'm not mechanically inclined, but I'll learn, I'll help. We could prolly get other NEPOC members to help.

I am not mechanically inclined either but you have to start somwhere... ooops... yeah you can help and i could probably get other nepocers to help as well since it never hurts to help. I am still applying for this since I would like to boost my protege5 but we shall see how this goes. just wish me luck!
 
Hmm, it looks like this is being marketed as a sort of budget kit
With non-intercooled, I'm assuming you wouldn't be running a whole lot of boost, so are the upgraded radiator fans really necessary? Just curious, not trying to hate.
 
they are, because the kit places the turbo in a position where the stock fan would be in the way. otherwise there is no other place to put the turbo with this style manifold.

besides, they move a shitload more air than the stockers. and you could always upgrade, adding the FMIC later.
 
The age and mechanically inclined are alittle flexable.We all must start somewhere.As long as you are patient and not a hack, the mechanically inclined requirement can be flexed.
 
Well I have been waiting for this budget kit to come out......from the budget kit thread to this Stripper thread....hahhaha.... sign me up again...I meet all the requirements...

does this kit come with any type of EM???

just wondering because dont the rest your kits come with EM....
 
Well...are MSP's excluded?

I think I would fit the bill quite nice considering my knowledge and skills as well as all of my previous accomplishments.
I would love to do this kit and then upgrade to the sleeper....almost simultainiously...but will do testing and what not first,as well as a nice how-to.
I am already trying to get parts together for another motor so I can build a 300 HP MSP....this just might be the ticket here....obviously I would be buying a ton more parts from you guys...to say the least.
PM me if you think I might be a good candidate.

Hey my ride is open if you're interested. My warranty is about to expire so it would be perfect timing. Hit me up if the other contacts you get don't work out.
