No offense to people using EcuEdit, but the software is way behind the curve of Ecutek. Sure you are at the mercy of your tuner in order to have tweaks done, but the absolute control EcuTek gives a tuner is far and away the best option available. Per gear boost profiles, boost control through the ecu, traction control, etc. etc. EcuEdit is cheaper for a reason. It doesnt appear that the OP is hurting for money since he got a custom turbo setup made...as for dealing with John @Visconti you have to email, call, or PM him as he is innundated with people calling constantly. When he came out to Phoenix and road tuned my FRS it was pretty epic. The man is a damn EcuTek wizard. My A/F ratio was perfectly flat when I later took it to a dyno...all tuning done from the passenger seat of my car while we were bombing up and down roads on the reservation.

That's great information and all. But please don't bring any ecuedit vs ecutek into my thread. Nothing is set in stone with software. As I said my Tuner said he is waiting on how people are liking it. My tuner is also a busy guy. So he can't just sit there and try to contact john to become a dealer.

The owner of Inline Racing says there are simpler ways. But this is a custom one off kit. And also that he doesn't want to be accused of simply copping anyone else's design. And I believe he accomplished that

Definitely curious on the Dyno run.

That manifold is pretty wicked. It seems to have a slightly longer run than a few of the others I've seen in the turbo forum. I am curious if it will move the torque a little earlier or just as spool comes on. I like the arrow straight exhaust as well, is the need to keep it straight the reason you went with a single exit?

Well the intake pipe and IC pipe routing on the right is definitely the opposite of what everyone else is doing.....I like it!

Edit: Except it may be a little more work to get at the filter to clean it.

Correct. He wanted flow to be maximized. A duel exit just wasn't in the question for that.

Hows the noise level when cruising around town with single 3"? Im sure the turbo quiets it down a bit and I think I saw a resonator.

It's soooo much quieter than my NA setup. That's a flex pipe.
