Wow that is sweet! I wan't the upgrade. Wait no, first the lsd, then more juice. Man I love having a turbo, endless options for upgrades, and mind altering acceleration.

This kit is solid

. I'm near 10k miles and the only real issue is having to clear trouble codes, just part of the fun.

Rob, I'll call you about this tomorrow but I have an idea to eliminate the F/IC problems if you guys are up for suggestions. This is purely based on experience with multiple F/IC's and other tuning units.

I'm talking about the whole kit n kaboodle. Whole shabang. If I'm going to do exhaust on my car, I want from the OEM exhaust manifold back. Even if it omits a catalytic converter. When emissions time comes up, I'll just swap that piece out!!!

I think they're still trying to set up the website to reflect the changes. Just give them a call.

If it's not ball bearing, coolant generally isn't needed but more oil is, that's why most BB turbo's have oil feed restrictors in line. There are always exceptions but coolant lines are a pain when it comes to maintenance or doing other work under the hood... AMHIK

ScionFred, Just out of curiosity have you tried any replacement harnesses yet? Also, where are you located?

Hey Rob, just out of curiosity what code are you seeing? P0335 or P0340? I have some insight into the cause of both, if you're interested and willing to share info. If not, let me know when you have it perfected and I'll buy a harness from you.

BTW, love your new kit and FWIW, I'm 100% CEL-free now.
