Your question was answered a few posts above.

New picture added to post #3, it's not much, once SevenStock is over there will be more time to take more pictues of the car, the link Team posted has some pretty good detailed shots of the kit installed. The car has been driving great, starting to see small and short amounts of boost, Scott just sent me some higher tension wastegate springs for more boost to come soon. Support has been great.

I wonder how many he will sell before he reaches his work/money balance and claims bankruptcy leaving people shafted out of $6500.

Sevenstock is over and driving the car a couple hundred miles in 100 degree weather I was able to notice a very noticeable drop in coolant temperatures. Car drives great and is ready for more boost to be thrown at it. Tonight I'm switching to a larger wastegate spring and the fun continues. So far no problems or fixes to report. communication with Scott has been great. Will update with more impressions of the turbo kit with more boost. Work as usual is in crazy demand so when time permits I'll drive the car with more information. Couldn't be happier to pick up this new kit trouble free.

We don't hear the phrase trouble free that often around here when it comes to turbo kits.

Trouble free......WOW..that's awesome. The kit seems really well thought out...so I'm glad it installed and works as well as it looks...Keep us updated on how things are going

When are you doing the touch ups on the tune?

Are you doing your own turbo build or something thru RX8Performance?
