Quality issues were centre around the pulley not spinning true. We noticed it prior to installi the unit. Sprintex sent an entire new unit despite us telling them we located the problem; a poorly machined hub (it's about the size of large coin) that the pulley bolts to. New unit arrived, same problem. We phoned Bullet this time, he sent us a hub he pulled from a unit he had there. We received it and by eye the pulley looked to spin true, but using a dial indicator it was still out. So we had it machined locally.
Daily driving the tune was not great partial throttle. It could be quite surgey at certain rev/throttle points.
At the track IAT's were unacceptable. I had the intercooled kit. After 5 or so laps they were too hot. If I turned on the heater full blast it helped, but that wasn't exactly pleasant!
After that track day I'd had enough. With the dramas I'd had with the hub/pulley I had no confidence in the rest of the kit. Having to grind a bit of a bracket to install it, and it was a known problem, it was in the instructions to do it. I paid $5k for this kit, why don't you adjust your jig/mould, instead of asking me to file something because of your error. I've learnt since the surging could be solved by a tune. But yeah, too many issues. I voiced it all as it panned out in the owners topic.
One thing I will say is Tom at Bullet was good, and quite embarrassed by my experience. He even recognised I'd had enough and let me know there was a new larger sc about to be released. In other words, if you want to sell it, do it now. I sold it for $3800, without the ecutek licence and cable. Lost a few hundred but that's okay.

Ah, I see.
What kind of ambient temps were you seeing, along with the IATs? Do you have any datalogs that you can e-mail me? We'll be releasing datalogs for the Jackson Racing SC shortly from our time at the track this weekend.
