All but one SC kit (see below) has experienced issues in one way or another. All of the front mount turbo kits need extensive supplemental cooling mods to take the heat from hardcore track abuse in hot climates.

I am not sure I have heard of any issues with the PTuning kit other than the cost and the fact that your cat can destroy the turbo since it is placed post OEM header/cat. Ultimately, it comes down to knowing any possible issues and doing your best to maintain the car so as to avoid them.

Here is what I think Tut's referencing:

The Jackson Racing SC kit as far as I know has had zero reported issues since launch from their owners and is also the only FI kit to date for these cars to have a flawless launch and adoption period for both street and track applications. @
CSG Mike can speak to that with more validity since his shop has sold quite a few JR SC kits.
