I bought the PTuning Kit and other go fast parts from Ptuning last year in May. I went there to see and pick up the kit in person. Toan and Mike were very helpful, thanks. I am just starting my build now (I know it's been about a year). Here is my build thread:

Stay tuned

I would like to thank PTuning for an awesome turbo system they built! I don't know how many PTuning turbo systems have had the Dragon slain but my car just did it last weekend.

I was going to start a separate thread about this test ran but I wouldn't have time to monitor it and if anybody have any technical questions about the turbo system I will not be able to answer most of it. Posting it here will have a better technical responses from PTuning themselves.

The nine hour drive to the WTDX event was a breeze itself. The car performed flawlessly the entire trip with the company of 25 other cars from Winchester, VA. Every once in a while we play around a bit specially at this one section of I26 that I call US autobahn to where every one in the caravan unleashed the fury of their cars and aimed for the top speed.

Early Friday morning (6:30AM) I head out to Hellbender (not 100% about the name) to go to Deals Gap for a gas at the foot of the Dragon. Having familiarized the road a bit I proceeded to unleashed the full fury of the PTuning turbo kit on the way back to Fontana Village. All I can say is, Awesome! My hands were shaking from adrenaline rushed after arriving in the lodge. I ran the Hellbender as fast and as hard as I can to where the gas pedal is buried in the floor most of the time and brakes are at maximum capacity most of the time and redlining all the way to fifth gear. Checked the engine after I arrived at the lodge and no leaks no overheat and she is idling like a sleeping dragon. There is a smoke coming out of the side fenders but it turns out they were my front brakes.

Did the poker ran (6 station rally style run) that same day with friends thru the Dragon and back and thru more hills for 3-4 hours. The turbo system ran flawlessly as ever, I heard the BOV music went off maybe around a thousand times and everything held up. No overheat no leaks no funny sounds no feeling of loss of power. By this time I'm very confident that this turbo system can take a lot of very hard driving. My plan B of having the car towed home to VA from NC and to ride a plane on the way home has vanished.

The only regret I have is not having a good video system. I have some video footage but they're crappy with no good remote mic most that you can hear is wind noises. It's rather annoying to watch so I apologize for that. I will look for a good editing program and I will try to work on some of the video to make it tolerable to watch then I will post it here or in yotube.

Again thank you PTuning for an awesome turbo kit and great tuning. Next test will be at Summit Point and VIR.

We're glad you had a great time. Looking forward to seeing some video footage of the drive, regardless of quality
