The canned tune says it's for 93 but it is very safe as far as timing goes. I use it for my 91 tune now. I think it only has like 14 degrees timing at WOT. Just check and see if you get any KR with it I'm sure you would be fine.

I just happened to come across this picture today. I figured it might help with your trans cooler mounting.
I was mounting the box for my JDP halo kit and it called for mounting it directly behind the crash bar, which just so happened to be where my intercooler is.

Looks like there should be enough room for the trans cooler. It appears that a good portion of the intercooler is covered by the crash bar? Thanks for the pic.

Fabberge said that my kit will ship out within the next 2 weeks

I believe there are some tuning issues with the LLT... Fabberge just made a post about getting a prototype car so it looks like the LLT kit is on the way

I've considered that but 9 hours is a bit of a drive. I would love to install this myself and learn some things in the process.

I ordered a Borla cat back x-pipe exhaust and now realize that it is 2.25" diameter. Will this be ok running 12 PSI?

JantzenOKC · 07-24-2015, 08:34 PM

It'll be ok but I think 2.5 would make more power. I'm still running a section of 2.25 factory pipe between my resonated xpipe and muffler delete. I'm about to change that though.

smithnc · 07-24-2015, 10:03 PM

Maybe I should return the exhaust pipes and get some that are 2.5" diameter. I'm going to buy the Corsa exhaust system.

Circle D convertor works GREAT in my nitrous car. I leave the line spraying a 100 shot and it keeps spraying thru the shifts. I have been pulling 1.61 - 1.63 60' in this Maryland heat (90s DA around 1800' - 2000' ) and the lock-up feel is great. Flashes around 3000 and VERY streetable. VERY happy with their product!!! I feel they could do justice for your TT system and help spool up those turbos on the line. NOW time to get some tires.

Hey guys just a quick question, which is better and why a turbo or super charger? I've got a 2012 V6 and looking to kick it up a notch. It is my DD so it needs to stay dependable. Thanks
