Surprising to hear you've had communication issues with JDL. I've ran their kit for a year now, I don't always get a hold of them first time around but I've always received a call back within the end of the day or at the very most the 2nd or 3rd day. They have really blown up in the last few months and there are only 3 or 4 fabricators in their shop. Their V2 kit seems to be selling like crazy, so they are probably overwhelmed and are in that transition phase of going from small shop to national hot commodity.

Was able to get in touch with Treadstone.

Once initial contact was made the respsonses were very quick.

Just made my order for the turbo kit with the EFR 6758.

I'm starting to look into going FI and this kit was recommended to me by a local tuner.
Sorry, I somehow missed this. Anyway, I'm at 60k on the kit and still no issues. I changed the clutch because the stock one was skipping, so I'd say it was because of the turbo.

Can anyone who has the kit tell me if my current 2.5" exhaust will bolt up to the kits downpipe?

Should the kit be able to bolt up to the oem exhaust or do you have to go 3" all the way back?

I'm actually running the OEM cat back and it bolted up with no issues. I had a 3"TBE on but it was just too loud for a DD imho.

Thanks for the info.

Did you go with an aftermarket radiator? Trying to determine what will fit with this kit.

Yep, I'm using a Koyo radiator. It fits with the stock fans.

Where you able to keep the oem shroud? I live in AZ so ambient temps get over 110 so I think I'll need some sort of shroud for traffic.

So my installer has the same question. Does anyone know the answer?

I emailed Treadstone as well and will post the response if no one answers here.

Coolant lines are ran from the heater hoses on the firewall.

Turbo is installed and running like a dream.

Where is this posted on their facebook?

If it's legit that's an insane deal considering the turbo is $1200 alone.
