Thanks to Gem, we know the P&L fits with the vortech kit. With the same basic routing, this probably will too.

Got mine in and installed.

A few snags along the way, feel free to read my post starting at #125. It's broken into 2 posts or I'd direct link it:
http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showt...t=23136&page=6

Overall impressions, very high quality construction and welding. The color has a nice bronzish tint to it. It looks awesome under the hood (especially under the car). Noticeable increase in power. It pulls stronger up top and a lot more torque throughout the entire rev range.

It's not life changing but I'm happy with the results. If you're in my shoes and still debating on a turbo/supercharger solution and want some more power, I like this. I'm interested in seeing more from the FA20Club turbo kit, initial results were very good. I just like the idea of a supercharger's simplicity. At least I got more power now and a discount on a turbo if I go that route.

Cheers.

try getting a map with a bit more timing advance to it from unichip to take advantage of the exhaust flow. you'll notice an additional increase as well.

Thanks Tony, I'm running their timing plus map and monitoring the advance on my torque app.

The car def has more torque, you can feel it when you're on the throttle in a longer sweeping turn, it really compresses the OEM springs and puts more force on the turn. A very direct feeling. Dyno to come next Saturday but it absolutely has made the car fun to drive again. Still have a sound of a slight exhaust leak..more noticeable at cold start.
