At < 6.5 PSI, I can get it to fishtail in 2nd around 4k RPM from a roll on a good day. After things heat up a bit, I hardly break traction afterwards. I've not tried launching the car yet haha.

BTW... I finally watched the video with the speakers on
I'm using a Blitz SBC-ID III. The Blitz offers the same target PSI if you also purchase their speed controller.

They say one thing, promise a deadline, you call back way past deadline and they haven't even started, or know nothing about it. I def felt the whole "paying customer = great service on a phone" then "you already paid, and we don't care about the issues you're having despite our promises and guarantees." It happens. The car mod business lives on rep from people like you.

Reading over the whole thread, I was chuckling how some forum members were pointing out some problems with Lutz's design, and the same issue they bring up bites you in the ***. I didn't enjoy that the process sucked for you, but now that it's pretty much over, it can be laughed at; IMO. Hind sight is 20/20 after all. That's what happens when a welder designs a turbo kit, and not an engineer. This isn't the 70's anymore, these are 200mph computers, hence companies specializing in certain types of cars; due to the wide range of differences that can be seen between makers.

Anywho, great looking car, and I hope it just gets even better.
Thank you. I was blinded by Lutz's reputation and my first hand knowledge of turbo kits they have fabricated in the past. It still pisses me off everytime I look back at all the money I wasted due to their "expert" knowledge. Someone posted saying they could make their own kit for around $6k and Shawn laughed. I now know it could be built for that or even a little less....$1000 for a turbo and $1000 for intercooler, WG, and BOV (roughly speaking). That leaves $4k for materials and labor. Had I taken my car to the guy I'm workog with now, I could have had a reliable single turbo kit for around $4k-$5k.
