How the DP and manifold routes, you have to move/relocate wiring harness then wrap in gold foil heat shield.
Will each kit have to be custom tuned or will pre sets be sent along with the kit?
If you CANNOT AFFORD or do not have the resources to get your car professionally tuned....
DO NOT BUY A TURBO KIT!!!!!!!!!!

Does this kit come with the programming you guys will be using to have it tuned? (AEM FIC i believe?)
I dont mind have it tuned by a shop but I much rather have them something to work off of that is known to work rather then pandoras box considering the popularity of the xD.

You can use a basemap to build off of though. Not always a good idea, but thats the only time a basemap is useful.

Most of what these guys are saying is true...
dont cut corners....for 98% of the people on this board.
I have customers who buy the correct fuel management, install the kit, think they can install the fuel stuff later....blow there motor and its my fault.....but....
You can use the REFLASH and the injectors(410-440cc) and a small wheel T3/T4 (or a GT28rs for convos sake) at no more than 5 psi and have an awesome tune/powerband.
It actually works well on the stock ecu as well..just dont boost more than 5psi.
I have a car here in AZ thats been running now for almost 2 years on the stock ecu and 440cc injectors at 5psi on a GT28RS and it runs like stock and is a blast to drive.
I dont like promoting it...but it does work and so to answer your question....YES

Todd
Hmmmmm... My turbo XB2 runs like stock and is a blast to drive w/o EM @5psi with 440cc injectors. Gonna bump it to 6-7psi after I get the water/meth installed, as long as wot afr stays at or below 12.5:1.

I have never seen someone accept so many BS excuses! Man up, victim - you are being taken for a ride by a tinkerer. This guy may eventually give you a faster xD, but I will NEVER buy from him - no matter WHAT he produces - the guy is NOT professional.

This post is to inform everyone that has been following along that unfortunately my turbo journey has officially ended...
On Saturday, my car was brought back to me by Todd with my parts in a box...I can not continue with this project with an unforseable end completion date...I also can not commit any more money to this project when I have already paid what I was told it would cost...Due to recent problems with another vehicle that TT had sent to the tuners, not an xD, Todd told me that he had to pay a large amount of money out of his pocket to pay the shop because of un-forseen tuning problems...I had already pre-paid Todd my dyno time however Todd called just prior to when my car was supposedly headed to the tuners and told me that if they run into tuning problems that the shop charges $110 an hour and that he would not be able to pay it...Therefore, I would have to come out of pocket even more money than I had already paid Todd to have this done...J
Just for the record, I had already paid my entire portion of this turbo journey in CASH...Another set back was the fact that I had to rent a car (almost $500.00) after returning my car back to Todd just recently because the Nissan Versa that he was originally letting me use he returned to the dealership...
Todd is a nice guy but made promises that were not meet...Some things were not in his control but some were...I delivered my car mid April for what was to be 1 month project...During the 3 month project, I was told I would be sent pictures of the project along the way so I could see what was happening...Even after numerous texts from Todd saying that he would be sending pics at certain times, I never once received any pictures which had me concerned that things were not getting done...If Todd wants to succeed in his business, he needs to work on his customer service...Don't make promises you can't keep...We all know he builds a quality kit, when it gets done...When it gets done is the ultimate question...
This is not a bash Todd thread...I don't believe the forums are the place for it...I have told Todd my feelings over the phone and he knows where I stand and I know where he stands...
Anyways, when Todd delivered my car he brought my turbo, intercooler, BOV, and my powder coated piping...He however forgot to bring some of my stuff that he said he would bring...
The turbo, piping, and BOV all look incredible and makes me sad just to look at it...So damn close, yet so far away...
I will be posting my stuff up in the classifieds when I get the time to snap some photos of it...
End of story!
