Right on. Hope they have this documented in their guide. I'm still waiting for them to ship mine


UPDATE on the OP under Odd Behaviors
"Unrelated to the kit itself, there's now a rattle/grinding noise from either the clutch, trans, or exhaust under zero to partial throttle being applied in 1st thru 4rd gear. It's pretty annoying but it doesn't seem to be hurting anything. Will need to check this out in case it was related to the clutch or exhaust upgrade."

Appears to be the ACT clutch that's causing all that noise.

Any updates feed back on how the kit is performing after having it for a lil bit?

It went on a dynojet back in May and put down 340whp/237tq. Was a little surprised that it didn't read closer to the initial dyno results since it's much cooler here than it was in AZ. But I'm sure the elevation difference as well as being on a different dyno makes a huge difference.


The car also had been fighting misfires and hesitation since last October. After patching up the injector harness as well as ScienceofSpeed offering assistance by providing a set of replacement adapter harness for the injectors, it seems to be running fine again. It's something to keep an eye on but this fix looks promising.

That's kit is amazingly well built. I'm sure it would be fun on a race gas/e85/file fuel setup. But the power on pump gas really seems to be almost 100whp down from a standard turbo kit.

And that dyno operator looks like Santa...

still good numbers. how much boost is the blower fluxcapacitor good for? could you take it to 15# (~400whp on a real dyno)with id725cc's & stock fuel system?

and glad to see you got this on a real dyno. SAE standards (if used) will "auto" adjust for local conditions...

Back from the dead. Any street driving videos on this kit? So far for the money, seems like the S/C kit from SOS is a better buy. For #'s. Any more updates?

Ran a 600whp SC S on the hwy and it did surprisingly well until we got close to the triple digits. If you're looking at just the peak #'s, the SC might seem like a better value. That being said, I have no regrets picking this kit over the SC one because the powerband is so responsive, fun, and potent on the street. I'm never caught "with my pants down" so to speak around town.
