How long have you been waiting out of curiosity? I never got a standard lead time (tried to locate one) - Archangle's situation seemed a little different than a standard order though.

Vince if you want to buy my old turbo as a core I would be happy to help you.. My turbo was just swap out today and my old turbo had 30k on it.. FYI..

Haha - no worries. I paid the charge for a refund after purchase. Just trying to see how long people are typically waiting to receive theirs - excited to get this thing installed.

In regards to turbo upgrades I just poked Hellion Turbos to see if they've made any head way with their setup. I emailed them last November and they said they were having a 2.0 come into the shop to look at...awaiting reply

Hopefully you can compare the stock turbo to a bigger wheeled one, that's my biggest interest right now

Well I was told 5-6 weeks wait time to have it built and shipped. I ordered mine about 4.5 weeks ago and havent heard of anything yet. So just playing the waiting game now.

So whats you're impressions of it? Is it the turbo bay one?

Archangle · 07-20-2018, 12:12 PM

Well I'm personal friends with the owner of turbo bay performance and I offered to sell my old stock turbo as a core to Vince because he lives the town south of me in SWFL. my car is still at my friends shop for two reason one he is on vacation for 10 days and two my TCM was sent out to HP tuners and the return date is this coming Monday and Tuesday my set of new tires will be arriving. Anyway once that is done then I can get it tuned. I will post my dyno numbers once everything is tuned. I'm shooting for 360 to 370 whp I don't want to go any higher due to the stock internals .. If I had a built bottom end I would have them max it out. but like I said before in a past post the picture of the turbo on his site is mine with the forge waste gate on it. I ordered a all metal diverter valve to see if it lines up and if it dose I will swapping out the POS plastic one for that one when it come's in next month.

My experience is about to change a whole lot... regrettably my I4 is becoming my girlfriend's I4 and we no longer have need to put the Turbo Bay stage 2 turbo in it. I am hoping they will have mercy on me at Turbo Bay, since they will be much better at selling it than I would... however I know their T&C does state no cancellations or refunds.

In more dark news, I am now the owner of a 2018 SS and have joined the dark side. Was fun pushing the I4 when I had it, but it has now been eco tuned by ZZP, the meth kit turned way down (doesn't activate until 18 PSI, doesn't spray full until 20 PSI), and the stock wheels thrown back on. Excited to now be driving a 6.2L V8... but a bit bittersweet to no longer be the underdog.
