That's your stock ECU compensating for the extra air. It has to richen up the car to keep it safe and not blow your stuff up.

Yeah boom boom is bad. Crmckjr, that is very similiar to what the ZPI stage 0 kit does as well, working off the stock ECU. Makes me feel more at ease!

IM trying to build this kit from scratch since i dont have the whole amount, i already got the treadstone manifold, the turbine the bov and the wastegate, all to treadstone spec, but im trying to find the dump tube and charge pipe, the velocity stack MAF adapter im getting a few other bits and pieces that threadstone sells from the site. Does anyone know if they wil be selling the dump tube charge pipe and velocity stack MAF adapter in their site cuz i cant buy them all in one shot i can only buy them seperate plus i already got half the kit.

Been running this kit since november. Running great since.
I'm running eman blue with greddy tune. Running rich at wot. Going to turn up the boost to 9-10 psi in a few weeks.

I got meth to be installed and already installed a E Cut out. Sounds sick with e cut out open I will get vids.

Bump for a great kit!!!!!

glad to hear all the +++feedback on treadstone. im about 400$ away from purchasing my kit. I got quoted for an install with gauges and emanage, but if everyone here says the kit doenst really need the emanage is it worth it to get it?i was thinking to save money i would install teh kit myself ...the only thing im worried about is do you need to remove the oil pan and tap into it? also im clueless on how to install boost/wideband/oil pressure gauges lol...if anyone can pm me and explain that id appreciate that a lot...dont mean to get the thread off topic....

Congrats with your kit, glad to see so many people gtting the treadstone kits

Yea the pan has to be dropped and drilled for the oil return. Did we talk before about a install?

bsptc you could just have a shop weld the pan for you for a few bucks. the biggest pain in the ___ im dreading is removing the pan. how long did it take you nd4spd?

How many of you guys are running the kit on the stock ecu? At what PSI? Is it just me or does that make anyone nervous? It seems too easy...

Jarod (jrodtc) was running the emanage blue, but was having trouble with it, and couldn't cold start. took it off, stock ecu running great. I believe he is at 7psi, and had no problems with the stock ECU
