The Dirty EJ1

I bought the kit as a quick fix, for a my slow *** STOCK z6 and this is what I got out of the whole deal... The i/c piping didn't fit quite right (it makes the bumper set funny.) I had to tapp the turbo for a vacuum to the wastegate. The wastegate is complete garbage it never opens and its not p/s friendly unless you make your own pipe, or run open Wastegate (i replaced with a 38mm tial) the vacuum lines were cheapest POS ever and crack within a week. Who ever made the downpipe was a COMPLETE idiot cause it ran right into the oil pan it also didnt come with a gasket for the downpipe.
The the bov is a knock off and sounds WEAK (but it does its job) the oil feed line flange BROKE when tightening... hmm... So far the turbo has held up (knock on anything) SO really the only really good part (half way descent part) about the kit is the manifold (cast iron) and the the turbo WHICH I had to tapp.... So in the long run you get what you pay for (I paid a 1000 bucks for the kit and ended up paying prob. about 1600 in extra crap (kit included).

Hope this helps someone.

I knew almost eaxctly what you were going to say before you even posted this...

I guess they really do live up to their reputation, without fail.

Yeah the kit is pretty weak, but after all my custom extras and 10lbs the car rides.
