I think there are a few members with automatics on here that can chime in I believe, however may I suggest looking for a different vendor/kit? FA20Club has had a bit of a falling out, I highly suggest looking elseware

seems like you didn't research enough...there are about 5 threads on the first page alone about FA20Club's falling out.

Are you kidding? There are 5 theads seemingly devoted to suing the owner of fa20club for poor quality and general wrongdoing. He was banned here for a reason. Most dont recieve parts. Look for @nelsmar thread or @Frs300 thread. Both have blown motors because of fa20club. He is banned on forums for several other platforms as well.

i wouldn't go with fa20. i've been waiting on a tune file for about three weeks and no answering via emails after sending him constant emails and calling to ask for an update. on top of that you'll most likely have fitment issues and or not receive your stuff on time.

I had scheduled time Saturday and got put aside for "locals" so responses would be delayed, aka, "go fuck yourself I already got your money and new tunes are more money.". Highly doubt I'm going to see my ROM file anytime soon. Calendar system my ass.

1st post, tons of reseach, FA20club.

Ny Brz · 02-24-2014, 01:56 AM

Other more reliable choices to order from, ordering from them you won't see your kit till maybe August

@joedaniali Don't listen to these guys they're all wrong! FA20club turbo kits are one of the best kits available and you'd struggle to find another better quality kit on the market today. I say go ahead with it and please post your progress and results in here and prove them all wrong.
