Anybody running the SBD kit and the oft tune that comes with it for $195 extra? If you are i've got some questions.

How reliable is it for daily driving?
What's the MPG hit?
How hard/often do you push it?
Any issues?
Does the manifold hold up and not crack?
Is there a way to run a different air filter that isn't the HKS mushroom style?

Answer to all of your questions- it depends.

Look for the SBD owners thread on here and the group on Facebook and start reading.

I mean I don't plan on beating on my BRZ. Mainly daily driving. A good bit of highway and a little bit of spirited driving on the little amount of curvy roads we got here in my town. I just miss boost a lot.

Mines doing okay. but a clutch is a requirement I'd say. I am running an intake that goes into the fenderwell. Also a catch can would be a good recommendation as well. However a few flaws that I will be changing out soon, like the stainless steel turbo line is getting rusty, all the the hardware isn't top quality so I've replaced that. The turbo blanket that they sell it extremely cheap. I believe it is included in the kit now. mine and a few other people's just look like diapers now. Over boosting is an issue, however the new turbo kits don't have that issue.

Cliff notes:

Good kit, some parts may need attention.
