Forgotten on the pros list: Reliable to track when using oil cooler set up. Fast spool.

Yeah I have seen your video's and was super jealous, your car is very clean, it is soooooo nice to see a quality build!!! I can tell you that I look forward to at minimum getting a ride along at the track this summer in the car.

I know you and many others have had good reliability with the kit but as with anything I am skeptic until I see it for myself. However I do believe it will be as reliable or better than most other kits including superchargers, unfortunately only time will tell.

As for the spool, I did not find it to be any quicker than many of the cars that I have built/driven in the past. The spool it’s self was not much different than the bottom mount 5865 0.63 A/R or sidewinder 5857 0.63 A/R or 6262 0.63 A/R but I would say the transient response was better. Overall a better feel than anything but the Greddy in that respect. I am excited to get the car on the dyno and overlay the new and old curves versus all the cars I have on file included Greddy, Inline Pro, SOS, Vortech, Mase Kits……. I am anticipating that the spool with be similar to the Mase 6262 0.63 but hold torque longer through the upper RPM band.


I personally would probably be more interested in a GT28 for the track if I was going to use a turbo again.

Evan's is Etuning the car now and as soon as that is complete we will hit the dyno and double check the timing and fueling using a reliable wideband.

My coolant lines also started leaking at the turbo (banjo fittings)......I contacted PTuning and they sent me a new replacement hoses w/fittings right away, but within a month or so it started to leak again. They said that they have never seen this issue arise in any of their kits before and apologized. I had then just asked them to send me new crush washers as I thought the problem was that their pre-tension clamps did not put enough clamping force to create a perfect seal. I had then purchased a set of clamps from McMaster-Carr but I have yet to install those. Scott, I think that your right about those rubber lines getting too hot by the turbo. I am glad I saw this updated review before I went ahead a dropped the turbo again just to change the clamps.

Where can I buy those steel leaders that you mentioned above?

Thanks
