Here at Mental Addiction we are always trying to improve our products so they are quality, make good power, look great and are easy to install..
With this in mind we come to the Sleeper tubo kit.As it stands the Street Sleeper turbo kit uses a GT28RS and an external wastegate(Tial 38mm) that is plumbed back into the downpipe.Many in the turbo kit business's that offer external wastegates vent it to atmosphere because of easy to build and install..
Right now everyone that has bought the Sleeper kit get's caught up installing the downpipe.This is because they install the turbo to the manifold, install the wastegate to the manifold and then try and install the downpipe(the wastegate pipe is attached to it).What happens is the turbo can move on the manifold 1/8" up/down and the wastegate will move 1/8 side to side and when installing the downpipe it looks like nothing lines up.I then get a phone call and I tell them to loosen up EVERYTHING and then install the downpipe.They do this and it lines up.My concern is while they are installing it and run into this they are pulling there hair out cursing up a storm because they think it doesn't fit(when they are needing to install everything loosely and fit the parts then tighten down).If they PM me or call and don't get ahold of me right away their fustration level hit's the roof because they need their car running because it's the only one or what ever the case might be. When they finally get ahold of me they feel dumb because they where pissed because they didn't think of it or read it in the instructions.
So the idea of redesigning the Sleeper kit has been on my mind to ensure a smooth install.
Because of the stock cooling fans the GT28RS internal wastegate can not be used because it hit's the fan shroud.
This is what I have inmind and I want your input.
The redesigned kit will feature the following:
Stainless Steel Tubular manifold(same as the Thumper kit)
GT28RS or GT2871R Ball bearing turbo internally wastegated or a GT32 internally wastegated(the GT32 is good for 520HP and is not ball bearing.The kit would be $200 cheaper with the GT32)
2.5" stainless steel downpipe
Boost Sc. BPV or HKS SSQV BOV
The intercooler and piping after the intercooler will be the same and the kit will still will be powedercoated and Jethot coated.The difference in the kit will be internally wastegated and have a tubular manifold.The price tag would be $3695 without engine management for the GT28RS,GT2871 $3850 or $3495 with the GT32 without EM.We offer a few different engine managements that are taylored to your needs.
We are also getting ready to do our non-intercooled kit and before we do this I want to get the redesigning out of the way.
