I also had a slight leak when I had my Borla UEL. Any advise on fixing that specific leak

Use a new gasket each time you remove it. Loosen the VBands all the way to the turbo so the connections create a gap that the VBands and header-overpipe bolts still hold it in place, possibly even post turbo and then tighten from the header all the way back in sequence. It's important to fix any leaks pre o2 sensors and pre turbo as well.

Guys who have the kit. Post more YouTube video lol. I love the kit. I'm 50/50 between this and another kit. I finally talked the wife into letting me get one I just need the money now. I want to see it in action more!

Follow me on Instagram @brz11b I have quite a few videos of the kit on 93 and on E85

Will do. I have a lot of work to do on the car besides the turbo swap. I plan to get some updated videos to my channel covering the swap, and of course more track days as they come.

Ive read through this entire thread and ive seen people pushing anywhere from 280-450 on a stock motor. what are the real safe limits to daily the car and what are the limits for a "kill mode" tune to just run at the drag strip or a quick sub 1 minute run. assuming this parts list:

Stage 2 clutch
Ptuning GT3076R kit with fuel package
header/exhaust
Flex fuel on e85
oil cooler
gauges

i would like to be around 400 on e85 safely and around 350 on 93, would this be a reasonable/achievable goal with the parts listed, if not, what else would be needed?

350whp is pushing it on pump gas. High compression motors are limited with boost and knock. In the end it all relies on a good tune and the way you beat on the car. We have customers who daily with 400whp on water meth, others 440whp on E85, on the stock motor with zero issues.

This might have been posted awhile, but I'm not about to read all the pages again

Anyone pushing 300s on pump and 400s on E85 / WM on a stock motor care to comment how many miles you guys are at now with and without being boosted? . Not that I don't believe freddy, but it's always nice to hear the miles!

I think you need to identify how much risk you are willing to take on. The car does not come FI from the factory nor are you building the engine. If you want the safest possible then you would be at about 250whp according to Cosworth. They did some engine bench testing and concluded that is the safe limit that engine can handle without degrading much. I would have to conclude that above that you are now taking on some risk that goes up as the power level increases. A proper sorted tune mitigates that risk in proportion to how well the tune is.

The reason I say this is because tunes can vary so the mileage you get out of the kit will also vary. Just don't want you to think that just because someone got 80k miles out of the kit that you can just assume you will also get similar results. I have been burned by that logic before on previous projects. Just sharing some knowledge to help you better as many have done for me. So in short focus on the tune, not just any tune, the best tune. I know I didn't answer your question but food for thought.

[Joe's86]

Always good to be reminded of that. I should have specified further. Same question but add on that the tune was done by ptuning. I will definitely be making my drive out there when I get the kit
