Did you ever get this resolved?

Very interested in the ESC. Already tuned with OFT and I'm pretty proficient at tooling so the install shouldn't be much of a problem. The numbers people are posting for the price looks awesome. On top of that I would finally be able to say that I've boosted a car

Does anyone know what the current wait list is looking like or approximately how many months out new kits are running?

Trust me even if you weren't good at turning wrenches the install is cake.

I am also awaiting some sort of response from Phantom. I have sent several message via their website's "Contact Us" section, but have gotten nothing.

Is there a better way to get pricing info and get on the wait list for a future batch?

There's been a fair bit of back and forth to troubleshoot but opportunities to dig around under the bonnet are in short supply recently.

I appreciate as much as anyone the desire to lay one's hands on this kit (I waited a long while) but this is the 'owners' thread dude.

Send a PM to Rob and Fenton on these forums, stating you are a definite buyer, and then regardless of whether you hear back or not, consider yourself on the list. Don't expect regular or elaborate updates about your place on the list though, just be sure that if you wait enough months patiently you'll end up with a kit.

Anyone encounter fuel smell after going WOT with ESC on?
I seem to get some gas smell once in a while - anyone have any ideas what to check?

Are you running an aftermarket header or front pipe?

[FingR-S]

Afe drop in filter - checked it not long ago and it was clean

I get it all the time with the OFT tune, but I noticed recently since it has started to heat up outside I don't get it as bad. Winter it smelled pig rich. Also when I ran my E-85 tune last year I almost couldn't smell it at all, and when I did, it smelled pleasant

So I'm having battery problems again. My car almost didn't start today. It was around 55-60 degrees this morning. Surprisingly, it started up during the third time I cranked the engine, although it sounded very weak and was on the verge of failing again. My navigation and radio was reset as if my battery died completely. Last time I drove it was 3 days ago. Maybe it's time for a new battery..

are you still running the original starter battery with the 1.5 setup? I can't remember if it will fit, but you could try out the new starter batt. I managed to get 2.0 to fit with the 1.5 kit with some washers and longer screws between the top block and one of the side braces, plus cutting off the inside lip of the battery tray. If interested I'll post some pics.

I've had the complete opposite experience.
I have no smell when I run gas but with E85 my car always smells like a bar. I'm worried some day I may be pulled over and accused of DUI!
