What is the reason for using turbosmart as opposed to tial now?

they stand up better in harsher conditions such as road racing and time attack. where we have seen the tial valves stick in the guides from time to time.

To answer your question I think this is week 4 or 5 for me. I ordered the same system as you but with the addition of the fuel pump and a recirculating wastegate dump option. I also ordered the P3Cars Gauge, additional sensor for oil pressure, ECUTek license & loaner cable.

I talked to Toni about a week ago when he notified me that the recirculating dump would take about a week since he would need to mount my kit on his car to design the dump for the best clearance and he was in the process of finalizing a tune for the SC currently installed on his car at the time.

He'll let me know at some point today if my system will be among those that ships out on Friday.

In the meantime I installed the P3Cars Gauge and oil pressure sensor he sent me, as part of my order, and installed the fuel pump this morning, great video @FA20Club.com. I gave some feedback and pointers on the gauge in their threads.

While I have the injectors I plan to wait to install those as being larger they will likely require tuning to avoid a rich/lean condition with the factory tune.

I'm in NorCal, is this kit legal in California?

No FI kit is CARB legal currently if that's your question.

Give it a few more weeks, seems that at least 8 is the norm atm unless people have ordered unique add ons to their kits. I also understand thermal coating lengthens the wait times too.

Mine should ship this week depending if the catted downpipe is ready before Friday :happy0180:

Yes, this is what i've been dreading. How much did you have to notch the crash beam to make the IC and pipes fit? Toni mentioned cutting a hole 4 inches wide to me over the phone looks like some special welding/fabbing to maintain the strength of the bar will be in order.

Of which I don't have much remaining when I was quoted 3-4 weeks prior to ordering.

I see. I was looking to have this installed and tuned before it got too cold. In a couple more weeks the days of 70+ degree weather would be a thing of the past until next year.

[natedogg86]

Anything from 45-70 deg for me is perfect install weather. Seriously call him if you have been waiting longer than 2 months. He is down a key staff member atm.
