I sold my kit and some lucky owner in TX will be tearing up the streets. In the meantime, I've been busting knuckles taking it all apart. Anyone else that went back to N/A ever regret it big-time? It'll look so naked under the hood!

I got over some of it with spending some of the molla on a sub and amp.

I didnt look forward to boxing up my first turbo setup either. Going back to N/A was disapointing for the first couple months but i got over it. The about a year later i built my custom kit and going turbo again. Im way happier with the new setup. Hope your just upgrading and not going N/A for good.

If I were upgrading I wouldn't be selling the Greddy EMU with SS enricher setup. That ish is golden! I really had no issues at all with the kit. I loved it. Losing my job right after buying a house is a big part of me selling the kit. There is no way the idea would have crossed my mind had that not happened. Either way, I've still got a bangin' sound system, the car still looks great and it's not honda civic ex slow so I'll be OK... just gonna miss the whooooooosh!

Dang brad sorry to hear the GOV let you go. Your car was so clean when I saw it the first time. The economic state is horrid I want to quit my job so bad but it's the only income I have right now. Hope you come back bigger and better.

Good luck P.S. the FIC is great on MAF tuning the pulls are smooth. Who needs MAP LOL

That is the most problematic part of the entire unit (MAP sensor). I hate how twitchy it is. If you can circumvent it via MAF and get it nailed down, I'm sure the ECU will make everything else smooth and problem free. I just didn't have the patience and was ticked at AEM for doing nothing for me when the MAP sensor on my first F/IC took a dump. I literally JUST finished putting the car back together and it purrs like a kitten. It's louder than when it was boosted (even with OEM header) but that was expected.

All this time boosted and speeds over 140 mph (that's right, I did it lol) and no tickets or even a second glance! Now that I'm slow and N/A, I'll get a million lol. Just predicting figuratively I guess.

Now I just have to clean up all the parts and go buy tons of shipping material to get it all there safely.

The car is a little "ghetto" for my tastes right now though. The oil pan tap is plugged and there's RTV all around it for extra measure, there is a spark plug where my wideband used to be, my heater hose lines have connectors and clamps from where my watercooled setup was spliced in and my OEM intake box is cut in half from when I used it boosted but a new aftermarket intake is on the way. I'll take donations for an OEM oil pan! lol That will ease some of my worries. Not to mention all the vacuum line I still need to replace to rid the engine bay of vacuum caps. Ugh, too much work! Oh well, all in good time.

I have to drive this thing like a diesel... 50% throttle until 3k then shift. Anything more and I'm just making noise and wasting gas... ugh. At least I can do roadtrips without worry now I guess.
