I have an old style C5 NW102 and LPE was able to tune it with no troubles. I am sure that Andy didn't have any trouble tuning these either. I know the LPE LS9 car is running one with major boost and tons of nitrous and it has never sucked shut on their car. I called Nick and was able to get him to sell me the base for the old style and all I had to do was buy the C5 TB motor and TPS. I found the parts I needed at RPM Transmissions as well as a new complete old style NW105 that I just had to have. I am sure there are still a few laying around but might have to call quite a few shops to locate one.
