This is great news! I am glad that you can actually enjoy the car now.

I had the same experience with Kenny's Hydra tune on my tC when I got my car back at the beginning of the year. Being my first turbo setup, I just thought my car was a pita to drive for the fact that it was turboed. Come summer when I have a tuner in the Saint Louis area find out that my AFR @ full throttle was 17.2:1 and my fuel and ignition maps looked more like a map from SIM City rather than a nice progressive flowing map. The O2 Sensor for my Hydra wasn't calibrated correctly and I am almost certain Kenny monitored AFR off of the Hydra which was wrong. Also, timing changes up to 10 degree were made in 100 rpm increments. What was really dangerous was the knock experienced at 6200rpm, I can't believe Kenny didn't tune that out. Long story short, the difference in my new tune from Kenny's tune was night and day... not to mention the new tune gave me my driveability back, ran like stock, and actually held idle.

All of this after I picked up the car and Kenny told me he put an "awesome" tune on my car. I wonder what he thinks "awesome" means...

That I would get an idea if anyone was interested in buying the turbo kit from my car. This would be complete, injectors, IC, piping, manifold, turbo, electric fan, etc, and even the exhaust to go with it. If you are PM me and we can discuss price. Thanks!

Honestly, it does not seem like the sales threads get as much traffic. You are right it would cost way to much to put the car back. This year though I am going to try and run one of the race series so, want to prep it for that.
