My brother-in-law had a C5 Z06, and that thing felt like a MONSTER compared to the S2k (size-wise... it was about a fast as I am now...).I just could not get over having to shift at like 4500-5000RPM... that is a SHORT pull! I also like our gearbox a LOOOOOTTTT more! Straight-sex compared to GM's numb-boxes.

Yeah! If it wasn't for Joey, we wouldn't have as much info on the Greddy kit.
His posts are informative, he's trying new stuff and he shares with the rest of us. He's never said he's a Greddy turbo kit guru, just a fellow enthusiast. That's what these forums are for anyway. If you have a 600whp S2000 with zero problems, awesome- you shouldn't be looking in these forums then.
Regarding Meth kits:
It would be prudent to invest in a good water injection system that incorporates a failsafe mechanism.
There are several companies that offer failsafes.
Basically, you can revert to wastegate spring pressure by wiring the failsafe into your boost controller.
here's one example - I use this system in my Subaru STI
The only drawback is that these systems are more expensive (Aquamist is about $700) and more complex to install. But well worth their price when your boost goes to spring pressure thus saving your engine.

When you use water inj. You have to pull fuel and advance timing because meth will induce richer AFR's. That's how you gain hp & Tq. But if you remove the meth, depending on how much fuel you have pulled and how timing you've advanced, then bad things may happen. That's when failsafes come in handy.
When you get that Viper, you'll have another type of issues: lack of traction, super-low mileage, no enjoyment from working on your car @ 20F, .......

Joey,
Just ignore the idiot comments that people have. Someone here (remains nameless) is bashing you about not being a mechanic and that his kit is this and that but throw him in a cockpit of one of the planes you fly and tell him to fly it and see how he does.
The point is that it's awesome that you're sharing all of this with us so that we can soak it all up like a sponge and learn ourselves about these issues.
Instead of wasting his breathe being a critic, why doesn't he just help a fellow member?...

Yeah I am 12PSI but have it set to around 11.5ish and I went with METH more for an additional safety measure/detonation suppression then for the extra power 
How do you fill the tank if it's behind the fender?

U get the TPS sensor
Thanks a million.
The way the sensor is I believe it does not get ruined if the wet because what is getting wet is the metal of the TPS sensor and the Metal of the TB, so that is what is causing whacky voltage, I will take it off and dry it out, put back in and see what happens
