I have the same end links. You have to max camber with camber bolts first, then adjust camber with camber plates. If you just use plates you won't be able to get a lot of camber without rubbing.

With bolts and plates I was able to get -3.4 with no rubbing.

Awesome, thanks for the tip! Which bolts and where did you get them? I'll just get the same ones.

Hey guys, i would like to go the ptuning kit route.

I was wondering if using a tomei uel header would be sufficient for this kit or would it be more convenient to grab their header as well.

Sorry if this was answered in the prev 31 pages. Did a search for "tomei" but only the catback showed up in this thread

Edit: will this come with a base tune? For those who are international buyers and wont be doing install at a shop, but having it tuned by a professional.

someone local has been using a borla uel header on theirs. its really personal preference. I prefer their header because it was designed to work with the kit but your header shouldnt hurt anything.

You can use any exhaust header you like as long as it meets up with the factory overpipe.

If you buy their fueling package (injectors and EcuTek license) then yes it does come with a base map. You should also inquire about tuning with PTuning, they might be able to help you.

Oh okay thanks.
I would go with PTuning tuning but I prefer having the car tuned with someone who can see it and what's happening physically.

I'm all the way in Canada so me actually heading to PTuning is not an option at the moment unfortunately

With this car and ecutek, remote tuning is so easy. I highly recommend you etune with Toan their tuner. He has so much experience with tuning this kit to perfection. Most of us on here are tuned by Toan and couldn't be happier.

3 of is are heavily tracking his tune here in CA.

Most recent video of my Ptuning setup on track at Laguna Seca:

Whatever you do, choose wisely. Toan knows his ish. I've been tuned by him and only him since 2006.

Don't let that stop you from getting a remote tune. I originally had the same sentiments, but ended up with a bad experience with a highly-regarded local tuner whose tune put my motor at high risk of . I ended up doing remote tuning, and although it takes more time and patience, you end up learning more about the car/tune. Also, Toan knows this turbo kit the best.
