transient response is fine, very little lag if any. Not sure if anyone is in FL with the kit but def watch videos dynos etc.

Quick question: would any strut bars fit? If not what brand strut bars would fit?

Cusco fits with about 1/4" clearance - reported by another PTuning owner.

Thanks for fast reply! As always lol.
I didn't like cusco though because its blue...and my pipings are red :/

Whiteline should be the exact same thing, just different mounting bracket. Although has yellow logo in center.

Wrap it in carbon fiber like your dash? ;-)

Haha sounds good. Is @ptuning planning to come out with a strut bar of their own?

They are but It won't be anytime soon. They were going to use a Carbon Beam to do it to save on weight and have added strength.

rb6freak · 03-31-2014, 02:32 PM

I don't think so. They are releasing various products but I don't believe they continued that. I'm meeting with a metal fabricator in the next few weeks to get a custom one made - just to replace the firewall braces.

Kanundrum: that sounds amazing.
Rb6freak: how much does custom run about? Custom carbon fiber strut bar sounds tempting

I'm not sure yet. Should just go off of standard labor rate of $75 per hour or about that. I'll find out and get back to you. Another PTuning owner is interested as well.

@ptuning

Have you shown what adding your header does to the curves with or without tune adjustments. Just curious how big a difference it makes.

We'll be doing this as soon as we install our first finalized prototype header.

We should have some 91 octane numbers for our base turbo system soon. I've been sneaking in tuning time for our 91 octane test car, but I still need to finalize the tune on the dyno.
