sounds like a nice setup, but get it tuned as quickly as possible... i think i blew the ring lands or head gasket or something on my car, its just slower than bajesus... the first run was the best, then the 2nd was not so good, and just slowely declined from there

turbos don't kill cars, untuned turbo setups do.

Get that thing tuned... as soon as possible. Boost is great, but boost sucks if it blows your motor.

definately get it tuned ASAP. I've tuned one, and found their base map settings to be way off, especially on the low end. I ended up ripping it out and doing a VAFC hack on it and it made about 5 more hp on it.
