I like the FI kit but I really liked the simplicity and easy maintenance of the BP kit. Not to mention it sounds amazing. Plus I would have to spend a lot more money to get the power I currently have if I got the FI kit vs the BP kit. I’m getting tired of dumping so much money into this thing lol.

I have one major requirement. The kit must not pop off hose couplers on the cold side when I turn up the boost. That means the BP kit is out. No tinkering needed kit is what I require.

In fairness, this happens when retired cops play tuner when they're bored.

Does somebody need to come down there and pop your hands with a ruler? You aren't the only one that has had issues. You see it when you get up in the 20psi or greater area. One guy converted his all to Vband.

Who? I will pay him to have a fabricator clone the set for me.

It was Freshkiicks in Cali.

Pffft he got YouTube money, I gotta babysit grown people and fight with idiots.

Honestly, the AAM kit feels like a version 0.9 kit or something. A bit like Stillens SC kit, it has the potential to be so much better. Some of the components are good: manifolds, borg warner EFR turbos, intercooler is efficient, etc. But the routing of the pipework and required "hack jobs" to make this kit work (dent your front chassis to clear the actuators, turbo return design causing need for scavenger pump, air filter placement is bad and needs 90 degree relocation) shouldn't be required for a 10.000 usd kit.

I have by now fixed all the issues and really enjoy the kit. Its reliable and performs well. If I were to go boosted again I would go FI as well though. Just because I dont like having to make so many adjustments to such an expensive kit.

I totally agree with everything you've mentioned.
My car actually ran .3 seconds faster in the quarter mile on the Stillen SC kit than it did with the AAM stage II Twin Turbo's on pump gas. There have been a number of issues I've had to address with the AAM kit as well.
Turbo smoke being only one of them...but the 'biggie' was blowing the passenger side 71/63 turbo shortly (and I do mean shortly) after picking up my car.
(I did have to upgrade the original IC to the one made by Charles (PHUNK) because it wasn't up to the task of handling the intake air temps reliably).
That was another costly 'fix' needed to make the AAM kit work in real life.
I'm about ready to pick the car up - once again.
How/ Where did you relocate the air filters ??? I've thought about doing this as well. The AAM design with this is severely lacking.
