Anyone want to buy my Peakboost kit so I can buy this one 
Just kidding. I purchased my Peak kit January of 2010 and was lucky to receive anything front this guy about 8 months later 
. It was one of the worst experiences i've had making a big purchase 
. I've been so unhappy with this kit ever since i've received it. Rattling issues, exhaust leaks,quality of coating, etc. Half ass kit. I've been watching this thread and this kit you got here looks awesome and well designed 
. Currently my Peak kit made 543/395 at 19 psi 91 octane with a Gt35r. What kind of power would I get from a GTX30r, or just go GTX35r? I'm also interested in your exhaust if I can get a great deal on it. Also want to make sure it will fit my inline pro diff kit. Oh yeah, also interested in the oil cooler setup as well. Thank you for reading this long paragraph. Merry Christmas everyone

I highly recommend tracking the car! Only way to really understand the huge difference the kit makes. Also, extremely fun to pass high hp cars that aren't expecting an s2000. Brakes should only need stainless lines (good maintenance), good fluid, and carbotech pads. Then roll bar and hit the track.
I can't remember back in the thread - what did you end up employing for an oil temp sensor/reading oil temp? IIRC, ptuning was planning on doing something in-line with their cooler/pump/something with the goal of still not tapping the pan, but I don't think I ever heard anything more on that.

Luckily I remember reading about this issue in the thread and replaced the fuse. Hopefully the 10amp fuse holds up better now.

On first start up after installing the kit my pump wasn't working and I had the oil light on. After checking everything I had found the 7.5amp fuse was blown. I just replaced it with the same amperage fuse and since (about 3000km) it has been fine.

I must have completely overlooked this part MrC. I see now in the parts list in the beginning of the instructions it says what that fuse is for and I must have set that fuse to the side accidentally, totally my fault
