I want the turbo kit
Hey Ballrub, I have made the decision to buy one of alpines turbo kit's. I just have a few questions first. Does the kit come complete? the only thing I need to get are two head gaskets for the head spacer, Have there been any problems with the head gaskets blowing out with the spacer?. I know that the kit comes with the unichip, does it come pre-set for a MAF US spec tib 2.0l? or will it need further tuning after the install? cause I looked around my local area and it seem's there is nobody who can tune it. How do I go about ordering the kit?
Please give me the info when you get some time, Cause this will be my christmas present to myself, Thank's.

As you stated, the kit comes with everything needed except the two head gaskets, which youwill need for installation.
To date, we've never heard of a head gasket or "decompression plate" failure, even when subjected to higher than our pre-set 10-lbs/psi of boost.
The Unichip is pre-programmed for a "stock" MAF U.S. spec'd engine, and needs no "fine tuning" if your engine is stock. Depending on how many upgrades, and their influence on performance, it would be advisable to have the Unichip "custom-tuned" for your modifications. We are now aggressively setting up Distributors and "authorized installation facilities" across the country now, and hopefully may have one in your area soon, that could handle the "custom tuning" of the Unichip for you.
If you e-mail me with your location, I will refer you to your nearest distributor or dealer, but if your serious, would suggest you act fast before the $200 price increase goes into effect January 1, 2003.

1.8L/2.0L (I4--BETA-I / BETA II engines) Hyundai--`96-`03 Tiburon/`96-`00 Elantra Turbo w/Intercooler Kit
The Turbo w/intercooler kit has been meticulously engineered for optimum performance and reliability, and designed to be bolted on to a stock engine, with no other modifications needed or required. The suggested retail price is $2800 plus shipping from Southern California. This system uses a Mitsubishi TD04H-15T turbo (oil lubricated--water cooled), and includes the exhaust manifold with built-in wastegate, fifth fuel injector, fuel pressure regulator, a front-mount air-to-air intercooler and plumbing, and all the required parts and mounting hardware, plus a "Unichip" controller (already pre-set) to work with your Engine Control Module to maximize performance (electrical wiring is required), and will work on both MAP and MAF engines (except you will need to purchase 2 head gaskets for the decompression plate supplied). All kits are pre-assembled as far as possible.
Performance improvements for the turbo kit are approximately 75+ HP & 90+ ft/lbs of torque "to-the-wheels" @ 10 lbs./psi boost. (1.8L figures will be lower due to lower baseline figures, but the percentage of increase should be the same.) Dyno charts on U.S vehicles will be available soon. Our systems as an aftermarket item, carries a "1-Year / Unlimited Mileage Warranty "against defects in materials and workmanship.
Turbo Kit Updates as of 01/03/03
1) We are working on the re-location of the first catalytic converter (or sourcing a smaller replacement cat) if CARB certification is determined feasible (will know by end of January).
2) We have discovered a few previous kits sold with Fuel Pressure Regulators set at incorrect lower psi, and will now check all FPR settings here prior to shipment.
3) After reviewing the "pre-programmed" maps on the Unichip supplied, have found them to be quite adequate for U.S. smogged vehicles, and have decided no changes or revisions are necessary for this application.
4) Having discovered no opening large enough in the front of our `03 Elantra (applies to `01-to-`03) to plumb the intercooler piping, have made the decision to re-design and convert to our "AQUA-COOLED" liquid-to-air intercooler, and should aide in getting CARB approval (if cat issue can be resolved).
5) If catalytic and CARB issues can be resolved with the new "re-engineered Aqua-cooled" version, will make the decision to either discontinue the original "air-to-air" version, or decide to offer as a separate application.
6) Once the basic kit is ready, will re-evaluate the price of the kit, and plan to look into development of "stage one", and possible "stage two" upgrades.
This kit was recently re-tuned and dyno'd on our Dyna-Pak wheel dyno, on a `99 Tiburon (BETA I-engine w/over 60,000 miles on it, using 91 octane gas--no front cat) and got 180.6-HP and 198.9-ft/lbs of torque "to-the-wheels" at 11-lbs/psi of boost! This was our first kit ever installed in the U.S. (July of `01)!
