I have seen him post in the FI section and seems descent on what he posts. (like he aint a idiot poster that you find in there).


Find out how many cc the injectors are.

I am not sure what this kit goes for. I think Scorpion has this kit. Not to sure.

One thing is that some of the manifolds have cracked in the past, so keeping an eye out more under the hood is encouraged.
Just check to make sure Cody will still honor the warrenty on his work. I know it said Cody would in the FS post. Never hurts to check though.

You will need to upgrade clutch, for sure.

Check around with shops if they will install a used Turbo kit. 2NRWerks had an issue with a kit a while back. Lot of shady crap from the seller as I read in post about it. ask S2K: ) about it.

All this said, maybe you should just buy a new one. Then you know what you are getting for sure.

my .05 cents.

I would contact Cody directly and ask him about this kit. Tinker129 I believe is his username. Find out when it was made and whether or not he did the welding.

The Lovefab kit puts down crazy numbers, but the Lovefab kits also run very very hot. Be ready for a ton of horsepower but also ALOT of tuning. Any FI car requires more care than NA, but the higher tempuratures in Florida may adversely effect this kit.

Will this be your daily driver?

And if he did the welding, walk away

Then don't go turbo.

Maybe a comptech or Vortech s/c and that is all.

Yea I agree, my best option i guess is the vortech charger. Its just nice to think I

could have the power of a turbo in my S

Alright guys keep on the lookout for a Vortech kit f/s thats in Florida.

oh I pm'ed Todd a couple days ago with some ?'s but he hasnt responded(usually

he respondswithin a few hours at the most) Anybody know what he's up to?

Todd has a lot of cookie jars he has to maintain. He will get back to you.

Hey Greg, I am sure you saw my post with my motor. As you see I have bugs to work out still. It has not been the most shining moment in my life.

Good luck with looking for a supercharger, if that is your wish.

Good luck bro.
