I am on mine for a month now. Had a 160 HP increase pro tuned off the 10lb internal waste gate. Clutch is now slipping in less than a month, fuel pump had to be upgraded, around 50-100$ in extras you will need to really complete it all Correctly.
Quality is beyond amazing for the price and the owner of SBD responds on facebook in less than a minute to any questions. Customer service of SBD is unmatchable. If you are mechanically inclined and dont mind doing research this kit is for you. The kit really is the best Garage install style kit i have ever seen.

I've had the SBD kit installed for around 20k miles now and I'm extremely happy with it. Over time I've upgraded the clamps to t-bolts and replaced the BOV with a Turbosmart unit that's more responsive. That's it though - no real issues whatsoever.

Yes, I suggest a clutch, as the factory clutch will slip under boost....especially in the higher mileage cars. For tuning, Shiv offers a custom tune for his OFT users for $245. Can be purchased here: http://www.openflashtablet.com/shop/custom-e-tuning/ Ecutek has LOADS of tuners that offer tunes, but Visconti is the cheapest at $400 for Ecutek Programmer, License and tune. Currently the lowest price for a programmer + tune combo. https://www.viscontituning.com/colle...t-tune-special |

I know I'm late to the party, but can you elaborate on this a bit more? I am considering the SBD kit, but my state also has emissions testing. Basically, this is the first I am reading that says this kit would cause one to fail these tests. What about the kit causes this?
