That is shitty to hear man. I had issues with their tunes too and now I'm with Church Performance. I'm not sure if they send "flash and go" tunes, but there has never been any issues that myself or John at Crawford Performance have heard of. You just need to find a local tuner that does conservative tunes, not full race tunes. It's too bad you don't live in SoCal where you can just drive to his shop. Best of luck man! It took me my 2nd built block to get the tuner right.

Its winter tear down time now anyway up here in Pa. I have paid for the race rom package so I can have my local guy tune it in spring.

I checked Ptuning website but couldnt find it, could you give me the link?
And any problems about hose route?

No problems at all, the hose is pretty long so you can fit it how you like just don't let it sag below the inlet or the water will not go into the tank while filling.
It was difficult for me to find it also here's the link http://www.ptuning.com/subdir/itemde...&ModelDesc=FRS

I can't say if it feeds the headlamp washers since I don't have that system what I can say is it replaces the original bottle and reuses the original pump and tubing.

Anybody else had a problem with the base kits turbo? I'm really interested in this kit. Just went through the whole thread. I'm leaning in getting the single scroll el kit with the gtx28 upgrade.

I haven't heard of any problems coming from the gtx upgrades, and that's what I went with for my kit. I'm sure precision can make a good turbo, but I'd rather have water cooling capabilities in addition to the straight oil.

What other supporting mods are you running? Oil cooler, etc.?

I haven't installed my kit yet, but I was mainly taking about reliability and longevity. I'll have an oil cooler and catch can obviously to keep things cool and clean. It's my dd, so I have no intention of cheaping out on stuff that'll be used on a daily basis.

That being said I'm sure plenty of people run just oil cooled turbos on a daily basis without a problem, I just don't wanna risk coking my turbo shaft from excess heat.

Guy in my local group had a JDL EL GTX2867R turbo setup that pushed nearly 450whp on E85. I think the high boost map was just for special occasions, though. I know he took it on the track at a lower boost and had no problems that I know of. He could probably tell you more but I forgot his name on here.

Edit: for supporting mods, I know he also had an oil cooler, 700cc injectors, AEM failsafe, grimmspeed EBC, clutch, etc.

The only difference betwee. The single and twin scroll is the manifold correct?
