I thought SOT went out of buisness?

 

pretty much, for all intensive purposes the SOT is no longer available

 

Talk to MugenRioS2k (mark) he might be able to still get you the kit or atleast point you in the right direction.

 

SOT went out of business, but James, one of the employees, is still piecing together kits from their remaining inventory. Last time I emailed him, he said he was still selling kits. Just contact him via the website link I posted above.

 

I have a base comptech kit. Honestly even having a shop adjust the car with the FPR after installing the AFRs aren't the best and it bogs down sometimes. I can tell it isn't at it's potential. I bought a VAFC2 to tune with which seems similar to what the SOS comes with with a few more features. I however have not had it tuned with the VAFC yet and I am thinking about ditching it for a stand alone and getting some bigger injectors with a smaller pulley. The costs for these are minimal compared to everything I have already invested with going FI.

These kits will work fine with no tuning device or with a simple piggy back. However they won't work at their best or any where near their potential until you get a stand alone and some bigger injectors. With the standard kit you are pushing the injectors way passed what they should be. You could get a better piggyback like the emanage but after you pay for the harness you might as well just spend the extra to get an AEM or something else.

You also will probably need a clutch. Don't know if you addressed that or not but it is easier to get the clutch in before you do the install. Plus you need to break it in. If you buy the kit and go to dyno your clutch will slip and u will have wasted money paying the tuner. You would then need to install a clutch and drive it around for a month before going back to get your tune. Wouldn't be fun. Some people get their stock clutch to last a little while with boost but IMO you should just get it done ahead of time and it will save you some headaches.

You don't need a new diff as long as you don't launch the car or shift extremely hard. Many people just keep the stock diff as new ones are very expensive. U shouldn't break it if you are under 400RWHP and not abusing the diff (launching and hard shifts at WOT).

 

Thanks for your detailed input erik. I've decided to get a new clutch first so I don't have to worry about it after I put on the S/C. I'm on the same page as many of you have suggested. Stock kit is fine, but I don't feel I'll get the full potential it has to offer. I'm already leaning towards bigger injectors with a standalone EMS. Thanks again for all your inputs.
