I've read thread after thread about the flaws with this kit and the man behind this company. I know it has issues, but so far mine is running pretty good. My question is other than relocating the filter where the washer bottle is. What else can be done to help the intake on this setup. Pictures of what other people have done would be awesome. Thanks guys.

I simply put a filter on the housing of the compressor. Short and sweet

Look at my new intake set up and old poor squeezed filter set up.





and before




It certainly helps more airflow but seems the air temp is not much improved.
Nonetheless, it is much better feel.

What type of silicone hose is that? I wouldn't mind doing something similar. Part numbers for the hose and filter would be great!

I dont see how your kit is custom when all the stuff you got was an option on the website. Mine must be a custom 1 off kit as well then even though its the same exact thing as yours just a bigger turbo.

It was custom. Precision wasn't an option back then

I cannot get a hold of FA20club via their phone. I need a reimbursement for the thermal coating of the downpipe and headers that was never done as well as reimbursement for boost controller that I had to order because it wasn't in the kit and I cannot reach them via email or phone. This is ridiculous and so unprofessional

File a dispute with your credit card company. That's about your only recourse. If you paid using PayPal if you're within the time frame, file a dispute. If you paid via check, you're fucked.

I don't know how much those items were but you may have just sacrificed that money to the fraudulent gods.

So I just bought a boost controller on their website. Is this the electronic one? If I can use any boost controller for my kit is there any other option besides the one on their site that will still be compatible? How do I go about filing a dispute? Do I file it through my credit card company or PayPal?

I don't k ow what you bought. Look at your purchase receipt to see if its manual of electric.

File disputes through PayPal and your credit card company. You can file with PayPal through their site. You can call your credit card company to file with them.

I need this boost controller by Thursday so I ordered the only one on their site but I'm not even sure now if they will ship it judging by how they operate. On my order receipt it just says boost controller
