If it does, file the bolt down a bit like the TTS instructions say.

Well I think that might do it for me. I have been watching this kit for some time and even was contacted by Kraftworks to do an instal on a new kit at a discounted price so they could fix their terrible instructions. Lots of good info here and why I love the S2Ki site. I might have bought this kit and started having all these issues. I don't have time for this as I have 4 kids and a full time job. I used to with my SRT-4, been there done that. I need a reliable kit that I can instal and just leave alone. Boys I am looking into the HKS kit as I can get it direct shipped from Japan right now for $3,200 due to the tanking Japan economy! yes a lower HP kit, but reliable and obviously fast given the Arvou and Evassive results. We need more folks wtih this kit.
