It amazes me that the best turbo kit for the 370 (IMO of course) can get better. Props to Sasha!

Thats correct. I am running what you could call the V1.5 kit right now. And right out of the gate I am building 0.5PSI more boost with no changes to my boost controller. So the kit is able to push that air more effectively than it has done in the past.

Are you still running the original PT6266 or was the new turbo housing part of the V1.5?

You need a whole new turbo manifold to be able to fit the new turbo housing. I am running the original turbo, its just clocked different and the elbow that was welded to the outlet of it is now removed.

Cool. Just wasn't sure if Sasha sent you home with a new manifold or not for your efforts. Nice to have real results that the changes do indeed increase efficiency.

Nice work sasha! I think I will be upgrading my v1 kit to v2 as well once available. Still not happy with the fitment of the 45 elbow on the passenger side, and this would completely eliminate my worries about it

Agreed,a kit like this would be great:
1. new e-cover
2. new turbo to ic piping
3. thermostatic plate with new oil lines.
4. Even happier BP customers :)

Sasha your killing me with the car porn in anticipation of getting this kit great work.:tup:

When talking with Vince at the dyno(he was talking to me about e85, he REALLY wants someone to do e85) he got pretty excited when I told him you were switching to the BP kit, I didn't know if you had talked to him yet...

My wife will kill me if this happens lol.

Wondering what the cost will be to upgrade.

Divorce? JK! I cannot see it costing a ton, we could probably buy the cover from pt, and Im sure a standard mocal t plate would work as well then we would just need the pipes and oil lines from Sasha...Im excited about it actually, it will make things so much less cluttered in the turbo area! Maybe we can play a pitty card on Sasha since we just bought the kits ;) hahha.

I can probably recover a lot of the cost selling my GReddy thermostat plate

Sign me up! I want in!

You'll be sloppy seconds. I'm the first...mawahahahahahah

Hahahahaha I'll settle for the first g37 built block to run this kit ;)

At that pt their all VQs and Mr. Squeeze will beat you too it...I'm getting the feeling you like sloopy seconds.:D

However, come join the low mount single turbo club bud! The water is warm. We're always open to welcome new members and more than willing to offer tech support. God knows there's enough of us that have done the install

Mr Squeeze has a 370. Granted it's the same motor, it aint a g37 :).

I will definitely be making the switch. Block is at machine shop. I'll be ready and motor will be dropped in the bay. I'm just hoping Sasha will take my money asap!

They are all the same cars but one's a 2+2.

And Sasha doesn't rush. He makes sure everything is correct before he takes money; however, it'll definitely be worth the wait.

You going with the 6766?

Jwick.. well.. in that case.. don't your car have back seats? I want a ride in your car then! I can help weigh the back down for traction? :rofl2:

In all seriousness, I'll definitely be the first to welcome the next G37 homie!

Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk

I don't know of anyone that can fit in the back of a G.

But I'm more tham willing to give you a ride. Come out to the shop and introduce yourself. We always welcome another modding homie

Give me a day and time and which shop are you talking about? Jtranz or Chucks? If I have the day off, I will show up no prob. As for wrenching, I hav'nt done anything except regular maintenance. :tiphat: Give it a little more time and we will see what happens.

I haven't spoken in a Vince while he is a excellent tuner I am still on his tune 2 years later I doubt I will use E85 though.

JTrans. I should be there next Saturday (26th) showing off the new build

dang, I'm scheduled to work that night and the nights before. BOO!!!!

Very nice. I'm saving up. 5k more to go plus installation. It is such a slow process.

I'll be there during the day, probably around lunchish

It's definintely DIYable. Everyone I know with the VQHR version has installed it themselves. You might be able to save the installation cost depending on you mechanical ability.

Vince wrote my base map for E85. So he knows one is about to be done. Ill post results Saturday when I'm off the dyno.

Sorry gentlemen, I have been slow to address some of the questions here....


There won't be any difference in performance between the V1 and V2 kit, especially on a stock block. The main reason this change was done was to accommodate the new turbos that Precision is releasing. These new units simply don't have the smaller E compressor cover available. I did not want to be left behind due to this change by the turbo manufacturer.


According to Precision, unless you are going to run over 30psi of boost, there is no difference in performance between the E compressor cover and the SP compressor cover. There is no tuner in the world that has a pair big enough to run 30+psi on a VQ, the most I have ever seen was 25psi, and that was on E85. There are many factors attributing to this...but let's just leave it at that.

I just wanted to make sure that you guys understand that there wouldn't be any performance gains by switching to the V2. There are nice benefits when it comes to oil cooling (1 less oil line), and intercooler pipe routing, but that is about all.

I like the fact the stock oil filter will stay in the same place so I can utilize This

You can use that with either version of the BP kit.

I have one and it comes off anyway for every oil change. With the sandwich plate its real difficult to impossible to get the oil filter out of that little door. That plus I like to grease the sway bar during oil changes and it has to come off for that.

Even if you could get the oil filter out through the trap door with the sandwich plate installed, every drop of oil inside it would either end up on the undertray or in your face.

Well I'm getting it anyways, but thanks for the buzzkill guys.

Just thought it was cool that Sasha could utilize his kit in a effective way and keep even more things stock...

Nobody said not to get it. We just told you that you'll have to take it off to change the oil. It's not a big deal at all. Especially when you consider what you have to go through to change the air filter. :rofl2:

dood, it's not even on your wishlist.... :stirthepot:

Word!
