Ptuning or Full blown help!
 

I want the most reliable kit that will be responsive and 300hp. I live about 3 hours fromantic ptunings shop. I am looking to boost in spring. Just trying to figure numbers. I currently have ecutek tune perrin 3 inch catback. Tomei UEL headers. Thanks!

The ptuning kit would honestly be your best bet. You can utilize the header you already have, and being so close to their shop you could even have them do the install. Its a win/win in your situation.

The only downside is they have a slightly larger turbo than most of the cheaper kits. That combined with the longer charge piping would give you less boost response... However it is a ball bearing turbo and not a journal bearing, which essentially will make up for the longer charge piping. I'm sure an owner of the kit will chime in eventually, but boost response on their kit is very good.

Personally, I would recommend ptuning over the full blown kit.

I had the Ptuning kit. No boost response issues at all. @mkivsoopra

Spoke to both ptuning and full blown. I like the price of full blown but ptuning I hear is worth the moeny. Looking at shop in a few weeks and making decision.

X2 on the ptuning kit. It has been running strong since day 1 (900 miles) my car was the shop test car for about 6 months and 0 issues. Currently sitting at 400whp water meth tuned.

Yes I believe I saw your car at boxerfest! Car looked and sounded great!

I've had the PTuning kit for almost 2 years with 25 hard track days so far. Never had any issues with the kit. Fitment is top notch. See my posts in the PTuning thread!

No matter what, always go to a shop so they can help you with everything. I would pick the local shop for the tune and install.

Ptuning if you have the money.

Another vote for ptuning

Don't forget clutch! But both have a great rep. My out of box tune that shipped with my FBM a/f is perfect. I got everthing from them and didn't have 1 damn hickups. The FBM kit doesn't allow you to use you own headers but it does have a 3" downpipe and fbm does offer a 3" overpipe w/ their exhaust. I'd call LJ and ask. The response with a gtx3076r and a true fullblown 3" exhaust is crazy low. All I hear after 2500 rpms is the turbo spooling. Also the prices online don't reflect the deal they actually give you when you call them.

I'd have to vote for ptuning as well! Especially if you have access to their shop, everyone of them there is more than knowledgable in their respective fields.

Do you have the Stage 1 (Base/Premium) or Stage 2 from FBM?

Base with gtx3076r upgrade.

GT28 turbo coming soon :party0030:

SAY WHAT?


Oh and my vote is PTuning as well, the quality is amazing - but more than that the company goes above and beyond for their customers. I have well over a dozen track days under my belt with the kit too, no issues.

In your particular situation, I'd say ptuning for sure. You're so close to a shop that makes a quality kit. Haven't heard anything bad about them. They'll take good care of you there. Also, your current parts are compatible with their kit.

PTuning. I haven't personally dealt with them, but as others pointed out having the option of visiting a shop in person is a huge advantage.

Also, my experience with FullBlown was lackluster and unprofessional. Take it with a grain of salt, I'm sure you'll get "better" customer service spending a few grand with them (don't let that be a deciding factor, I've had bad customer service after spending $10k+ with a company)

I had nothing but success with Fullblown I've also taken there advise without question and had no issues. I only spent 8200 between turbo and exhaust. I would of given them more if they had my clutch. I only wish they didn't live 1300 miles away from me.

Steelscion, we also carry Ptuning FRS headers, Ptuning turbo-back catback system to go along with Ptuning turbo kit, also customers from other state run with EcuTek tuning software to maximize power. It not easy to choose between two turbo kit, but I ensure you our turbo kit is made with high quality material. Why don't you visit us at Ptuning, we can give you a tour and show you Ptuning turbo kit installed on Ptuning shop car's white FRS. We open on Monday to Saturday, 9am to 5pm.

GTX2867R tune from last night:

What psi and octane?

cool! How much boost? And how does it compare to the GT3076R at the same boost level on the same dyno? I'm thinking the GT28 may be better suited for track use, assuming better response without too much sacrifice of top end.

93 octane. 10.5-11 psi.

Quicker boost, more toque, great for street/track for the stock motor. Bigger turbo is probably better for E85/built motor.
