So...how did it go?

Good work on preparing the car before the kit install, on jacks and front clip removed, should reduce the 4 1/2 hour integration time to ~one evening.

Like that .

Install is going fine but there were a few minor issues. I should button it up tonight. I got the black housing and they were fresh into the warehouse so it was shipped without being clocked to the right orientation. It took me a while to find the documentation from Rotrex on how to change it and what to torque the bolts to.

Yes, this kit specifically. I do not want to turbo the BRZ. I do, however want to swap out the K04's with GTX3071R's on my RS 6, so there's that

I want to do it the way that I can still pass MA emissions, and replacing the catted header with a turbo isn't the way to do that. When I move to Florida or Arizona I can do whatever the heck I want, but in Mass it's a bit different.

You still have to be careful in AZ since there's still emissions to pass 5 years after the model year.

No better time than the present. Come on down.

Our AZ emissions are a simple gas cap check & obd scan. Pretty hard to fail! lol

[SirBrass]

Depends on how the catless header situation is dealt with. Apparently the scan can detect the disabling of the useless secondary o2 sensor.

Just a quick FYI, there is a nice update posted in the Kraftwerks Onwers thread: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showt...t=48406&page=3

When will there be testing with the C38 line? The assumption is that it needs a built motor/lower compression, how will we know until it's tried ?

no issues running a C38....right now we are just looking into what the stock motor can handle

[CSG Mike]

I may have missed this, but can anyone post the diameter of the pulley on the Rotrex? @gmsii @KraftWerks
