Hi jflogerzi,

We have already discussed through PM, but to let everyone else know we are open to non-local people taking advantage of the offer. Just PM us so we can understand your particular situation.

Regarding track testing, our development kit installed on our own BRZ had 3 drivers do back-to-back track days at Laguna Seca where we were data logging every run with two laptops and every time we came back to the pits, we used our IR temp gun to record all the turbo parts and surrounding components. We even had temperature indication paint on the all parts of the turbo kit and the surrounding areas.

We have internally and externally thermal coated the up and down pipes and properly shielded all of the wiring.

We are also keeping the air-fuel ratios on the rich side to keep exhaust gas temperatures down.

That being said, if you will be driving your car on the track, at the autocross, etc., we certainly recommend an oil cooler kit like ours (soon to be released) to reduce the peak temperatures prevalent in the FA20.

Hope this helps!
