Ptunning turbo kit arrived and installed

hey Guy s here is my review of the installation and ordering process from ptunning.

first off let me say that Ptunning has been very professional. ordering was easy and lead times were given and kept. Every email was answered and most importantly no BS.

the kit was about 110. lbs everything was properly packed and the 67 page installation booklet was easy to read and follow, Installation time took about 8 hours

As you can see from the pics I do not have the stock header, I had purchased the Fa20club N/A header a while back, and was skeptical if this would work but after installing everything, it all fits perfectly.

so now all I'm only waiting for is the base tune so i can get to the dyno,

stay tuned for dynos and driving impressions..

Ill be soon installing the AEM water meth system and hopefully push 10-15 psi soon.

Rotate your nipples on the wastegate so that they point up into the car not down toward the road.

Nice, I'm glad that worked out for you! I have the P&L header and was wondering if that would fit with the PTuning kit also since they are pretty similar in design.
