Please keep us posted as to what is/was wrong with your car. That would SUCK if your ECU is fried!! Order Dezod's PnP harness stat!

Hey treadstone, I see you guys sell the manifold seperately for the DIY guys. I'm thinking of picking one up and building up a turbo kit that is exactly what I want. Now I know early on you guys had some fitment issues with the turbo and radiator fan but I think those are all ironed out now right? Well the thing is that I wanted to use a bigger turbo than the turbo you guys are selling with the kits but I'm worried about the fitment. I'm thinking of running either a .57 or a .60 trim T3/T4, do you think it will fit?

Treadstone a No go :doh:
Great looking kit. I was about a day away from ordering it but since I just got the kaminari kit I held off. There's no way to make this kit look pretty with the intercooler piping being soo obtrusive.
Don't get me wrong; I LOVE THE KIT. The looks & numbers are there but the kaminari bumper would look like ____ if i had to hack it.
The stock bumper hacked still looks real good. I just dont think the kaminari would. Boo hiss now I have to research another kit

Its not so much the crash bar I care about. It kinda sucks but really isnt a biggie. Its the fact that their I/C piping and how its routed. With the kaminari bumper you'd have 2 huge holes.

LOL, I completly agree it would look like ___. I'm saying, see if they can accomodate your IC piping needs so no trimming is involved. IMO, they should offer a kit where this isn't necessary for customers like you with after market kits. I want the Kaminari Kit sooooo bad, but wouldn't dare cut it all up.

Thanks! I just got the kit on last week. I been eyeballin' that sucker for a while.
Anyways, I just dropped him an email through the old website. I tried calling but got the machine.
Its just too bad. I mean this seems to be a great kit however most people with a body kit I'll bet are unwilling to cut up their custom bumpers. Its an unfortunate way to lose a significant customer base.

i was dropping in on this forum as you emailed me, didnt get a call though...? yea i know its a bummer on the piping, the kit was designed like that by my partner who was convinced to run the piping that way by a couple kids that wanted a kit...LOL The only way around it would be to cut the pipes and put a couple 45 degree silicone couplers of the intercooler and sort of run a custom pipe route to hide them below the foglights openings. I know it could be easily done, but some people might not want to start hacking the pipes.
