This review will cover the approximate 1 month between now and when my 16g was tuned and installed.
I was one of the first to have the Kamak 16g's here in the states and I'm extremely happy i jumped at the chance and got one.
The installation is really over all pretty simple as this is a 90% bolt on turbo setup. Coolant lines will need to be modified and some slight adjustments will be made but other than that its pretty much the same as unbolting and bolting on the original. Ive done the install twice and id say it can be preformed in about 8 hours by a backyard mechanic or about 4 hours by an experienced one. Mine was custom tuned and used for the current canned tunes being sold so i do not need and MBC like the current canned kits do.
Over all i was very pleased with the staff of BTR with the way they conducted the tuning session and handled there customers. I saw quiet a bit of the above and beyond that i would not expect from other companies from helping diagnose problems to joining in on wrenching on cars that needed help in the parking lot.
Now the important part
The drive...
This is the car Hyundai should have made in the first place. Although there is slightly more lag with this turbo over the stock the difference is barely noticeable and you are easily into the power band quickly. If in sport mode 1st gear is useless in traffic even with my swapped 3.8 rear end (3.73 Gear) because i need to shift almost immediately. I havent had a chance to take it to the track yet but i should be soon. This went from being an everyday commuter car to a car that i really enjoy driving and cant wait to get behind the wheel. I get the urge at lunch break on work to go drive the country back roads then actually eat. I just simply cant stop driving the car its so much more enjoyable now.
On those back roads coming out of the twisties the power can be overwhelming at first and i strongly recommend keeping TC on until your used to your new found power. The power out of the turn is instantaneous and punchy when you first apply throttle but smooth through the power band and pulls very well through all the gears. Overall im very pleased with the Turbo the BTRcc crew and Kamak guys who made the trip to ohio to see our cars get tuned.
I strongly recommend anyone with an auto looking for a good bump in power to look at the BTRcc option. don't be intimidated by the install its really pretty simple! and myself and the couple others who have this kit are more than willing to help you out with any questions you may have.
Now i need to build the motor and grab a 20g
