Pardon my devil advocacy here, but to me, having to modify something that is already suppose to fit is a sign of poor planning and craftsmanship. My boy had to modify his as well, and is now selling it for something better.

I think the reason why the ICP fits now is because instead of a 2.5" hot side/cold side. its a 2" or 2.25"

Todd is responsible for quality and control. Just does not seem like it's getting done.

don't feel bad Kevin, I can tell u this much, once it is done u will outperform any other tC out there. I was amazed the first time I went to the track and got a faster time than any tC I know of in Houston, I had a bad exhaust leak (ceramic paper gasket = bad) before the turbo, a slipping clutch and a decent street tune.

I'm telling u man, U'll love it, ignore the bad coments.

Travis, I definitely agree with you man. I waited 8 months for pipes that don't fit. Quality control on that side of the fence is lacking for sure. Pretty ridiculous, I agree. Todd is trying to make it right by sending me a new dp that fits, so I'm not too upset. I'm just glad I have the stuff when it all comes down to it. I'm excited to finally complete all the things I wanted to do with my car, after nearly four years of owning it. I'm ready to see what this bad boy can do for sure.

Brandon, is the tune I have from you a 10psi tune? I'm hoping to do minimal changes to the tune. I believe we have nearly identical setups, with the only difference being the atmospheric pressure and me only running 8lbs. I may have to fix the tune in the winter time though, I don't think Hawaii ever sees 10F. lol

on one hand i agree with ya trav but I really cant complain because at the time no one could touch his price by a long shot and all my stuff fit except for the maf flange was welded on backwards. I look at that as something too goofy to complain about because its an easy fix and todd will make it right. Other than that everything fit pretty good or it was a tight fit either way it all worked out and iv been boost happy ever since. Ima try and order some more stuff if i can get to wher i can talk to todd without someone wanting me to do something. I tried today but got side tracked
