STS Remote Turbo Kit 370Z @ AkumaMotorsports

I am not trying to start a war, so I'll talk to him privately.

I am very upset because if they weren't comfortable with tuning this kit they didn't need to wait 7 days to tell me. I'll just end it there.

Now I have a kit that I can't get working (nor sell because everyone seems to say it's a piece of garbage). I honestly have no idea what to do at this point. I know jumping shops isn't a good idea, but what are my options? I obviously am not going to make the show (trust me I accept it now), so I would just like it to work at this point.

I am not trying to do it overnight. My kit was lost when it was being shipped from Canada. I had to call twice every day, locate phone numbers to warehouses, etc.... It was a month by the time I located my pacakage and received it. I took about 3 weeks to install it and looked everything over which left me 2 weeks to be tuned. I thought my time frames were fair, but I guess not.

I'm sorry about your experience Tower, it was much worse than mine. Thanks for all the advice. It helps out a lot.

The kit does what it's supposed to do and makes good power , it gets hated on but I loved it. If I woulda known all this was in a happen in woulda just kept it for 2 reasons. 1. All te trouble your having and 2. Cause my GTM kit ain't here yet and I wanna be boosted. My kit functioned and worked flawlessly for 10,000 km. I'm sorry your having troubles

Well I'll have more news tomorrow. It's my last attempt to get it going. You wanna buy it back if I can't? lol

blackonorange · 04-25-2013, 11:37 PM

Of it's over boosting you have a vacuum line crossed I almost could put money on it.

Nism0 · 04-25-2013, 11:50 PM

I'll text you tomorrow what I find out.

Trust me you are learning the way I did, the hard way. The price looked so good I didn't do any research on it either. The last thing you want to rush is tuning the car. Stay Calm,It'll get finished.

edub370 · 04-26-2013, 08:12 AM

make sure the wastegate is set properly and vac lines to that are run correctly. that would be my first thought if overboosting
