FYI for those of you concerned with smog tests, you can try to do what I do here in illinois, yeah its more expensive but I dont have to remove anything. I simply sell my car every year to my brother then a parent then back to me then and so on. I get a new registration and plate and I'm good to go for another year lol. Have been doing it for the past 5 years no problems

You are right; that is way better than having no concerns at all with KPRO!

I can't remember if KPRO was an option for me when I went FI, it was either AEM or Greddy.
nice signature from ur android lmao
What clutch do you currently have, ? how's it holding up? miles? I'm trying to find a good set up for my future build.

thanks spectacle
Had another a local shop redo the leak down and added the compression test
Ballade Sports did a great job
#1 230 - 4% loss
#2 230 - 3% loss
#3 200 - 15% loss
#4 230 - 4% loss
Alex said it was a small amount but should be addressed but not engine failure as last shop described
going to upgrade the valve springs and upgrade timing chain tensioner
finishing with a valve adjustment
After SEMA show pick up the Vortech kit, AEM EMS #2, not sure if the tuner kit comes with fuel pump or injectors
considering other fuel injector brands
I still like the SOS kit, just with it looked a little CARB legal

I have the cc stage 4. I bought it used and installed it when my turbo was first installed (may of 2010, 20k+ miles ago). It takes some getting use to. Everyone else hates driving it, lol.

You can get away w a non-puck on our cars for decent hp levels because we make no torque.
CC are really cheap, I got mine w flywheel for ~300, albeit used.
