Anyone running an ebcs with the kit? I've been looking into getting one before install. Any help appreciated. Thanks!

I've got the Infamous EBCS. Super simple setup too.

Bolt it to the back of the intake manifold with the supplied hardware and use the evap solenoid's connector for power.

"Wiring" it with vacuum lines is also dead simple. I only have two lines going to it. Reference from the compressor side goes to port 3, and wastegate goes to port 2, I think. I would need to look at mine to confirm, but there are "wiring" diagrams out there that are easy to understand.

I can't seem to find the Infamous one for sell anywhere, not even on their website. But I have been seeing options like ptuning and Grimmspeed that should work just as well I would think.

Comparing the Ptuning and Infamous EBCS's, they both look oddly identical. I am almost convinced they are the same, just different brands..

I don't even know how I missed that... thanks man! I am going to pick one up right now for the install, seems very simple just as you said.

Infamous/Grimspeed/P Tuning/ AEM, Hondata, Cobb. They're all MAC valves made out of the same factories in China. Sometimes the fittings are different. I've owned both the Infamous and Grimspeed solenoids, and the nipple fittings on the GS were tiny. Call it placebo effect but I think the Infamous one flows better. Plus I'm a Mobb Deep fan.

Mobb Deep + bigger nipples = winning

Welcome to the club.

I like your oil cooler position a bit better than mine, but you've got more space up there anyway with the aftermarket race bar.

What clutch system did install?

That fork doesn't look stock.

Velox or Cusco?

Would have been way better/easier pedal effort with HD pressure plate and it held my 481 wtq just fine, the XT is kind of overkill. Nonetheless very clean install!
