o and one more thing, the shop ordered me the wrong pnp harness they ordered 07-up and then he didnt want to wait for the 05-06 so he just modified that one idk if that might be a partner for the issue that is being created.

have you checked plugs? are they fouled? what are your fuel trims doing at idle? hows vac at idle? have you ever done a boost leak test? using an aftermarket intake?

well the thing is i didnt pay for anything i kinda tricked them and told them i paid already while the guy was on vacation and they shipped it out to me but its a greddy pnp they just swapped to wires to make it work and no boost leak none of that the problem is why isnt the car turning on with emanage ultimate and its the stock greddy kit no mods to it

Sorry but theres no way youre "swapping two wires" and making a pnp harness for an 07+ work on a 05-06 - the vehicle harness connectors are COMPLETELY different. And lmao on the first part, thats great, just hope they dont find this post

Well i suggest not to take a chance on some hacked up wire harness and get the right one. Second after getting the right harness i would go and get it tuned again.

i was thinking the same thing but i havnt seen his harness...kinda wondering if its even a boomslang pnp harness cause 05-06 has 5 connectors where as the 07-10 has 4. connectors are a little different aswell.

I'm looking to a greddy turbo kit of a ex Tc owner that sold the car and now has no use for it. All the pippings. But he just does not have actual turbo. My question is how can I trust to make sure its a real greddy kit and not an eBay kit. And what should the greddy kit have Included ? I just wanna know I'm not buying half the kit. Thanx can any one help me A.S.A.P . And I also have another choice on a zpi stage1 I don't know witch one to choose I need help plz

ebay kits dont have piping thats already bended for our cars and go look up greddy turbo tc and see how the manifold and dp look like and then youll know if its real i would do zpi though even though i have the greddy only reason i ahve it is cause i got everything brand new for 2800 the whole kit with injectors emanage ultimate and greddy type rs bov and hks turbo timer and greddy profec b spec 2 boost controller all for 2800
