Tony's Epl 16/16g Kit Is Incomplete......
INCOMPLETE OF A CLEAN PAIR OF UNDERWEAR!......
All kidding aside this kit is exactly what I was looking for. Unbelievable power, great throtle response, boost comes on fast and STRONG. My dash now is hitting a solid 1.2 bar! The wheels break loose and psm comes on in first and second gear when boost is at its upper range. I have only tested it a short time on saturday night after work. I took a buddy from work with me to test it for the first time, and he wanted out of the car! Scary fast he said and he loves to mod his car aswell. It did take awhile to complete it. I'm a bit **** when it comes to stuff like this. I ported and ceramic coated the headers. Built a second air snorkel to the oem air box out of fiberglass with a fully cleaned new k&n...(pictures comming soon.....as I drove I could hear the turbos spool LOUDLY as if they were pissed off.) Boost test the entire system. changed all boost clamps(those spring ones around the d'vs on the F and Y hose most leaked) Even X straped with long wire ties all boost hose connections and retested with no leakes. New spark plugs. New FPR. New DV's 06a145710n (believe me they hold the boost!). New fuel filter. I couldn't swing for a new exhaust yet. Got the oem with the ported mod(air drilled). Looking for a used and abused one for a good deal. Speedtech.... John D need a new sponser?! This runs out of hand with oem, can't wait to see with an aftermarket. Well Tony thanks for everything along with all the tech support over the phone...... next time pack me a pair of tighty whities with your kits......

Are you in NYC? If you are, come to Hoboken and I'll take you for a spin. Where do you do your 60-130? I'm trying to find a spot where I won't end up behind bars.
