IPS Camaro

Sorry in advance for the lack of pictures, i'll try to get something uploaded by the weekend. I purchased my IPS kit in the beginning of January and recieved it early march. Brought it to the shop early june and got it back yesterday.

The Kit:
The kit was missing some lines and the filter covers. The intercooler required some drilling of the mounts for the install that was said to be remedied on the new kits. But overall great quality to the kit

The Customer service:
I talked to Jeff to get the covers and he said he shipped them out. 2 weeks later I called again and Brandon shipped them out that day with a tracking #. It took my tuner 3 days to get in contact with them for missing oil lines and they came 2 days later.

The Installation:
My tuner said the kit was a pain to install and was mentioning how one of the wastegates was very complicated, I believe he said passenger but I don't remember. He also said the instructions were garbage and that the little items inside bags rarely had correlation to each other.

Opinion of both My Tuner and I:
Kit was a little complicated with poor instructions, but In the end everything fit well and materials are of a very high quality. Overall the Kit is great.

Power:
I decided to keep it at 5psi until I get a dual pump setup. 589 whp 581 wtq. 92 degrees in the shop and swamp like humidity. Interestingly enough there was a hellion kit on the dyno right before me. At 5psi he made 566 whp (I don't remember the torque) with a similar power curve as far spool time goes and the tuner said that my kit was much nicer.

Drive:
Simply put I LOVE IT!!!! I haven't got to bang gears in it yet, because I'm still breaking my LS9R clutch.

These are the only pics I have to help you out. I saw the kit first hand and will say it's very nice. Impressive numbers on 5lbs and after taking a ride in it, it feels very strong. Overall I'm just glad my friend his happy. Enjoy!!!

The instructions certainly could use some work; new ones are currently being worked on. The bags included in the kit, however, couldn't be much better organized in my oppinion. They are separated into oil feed line fittings, oil return line fittings, coolant line fittings, skid plate hardware, transmission line fittings, catch can hardware, I/C piping hardware, etc etc etc... 13 bags for 13 different areas of the kit. Perhaps the hardware bags weren't labelled properly and this is why there was confusion. We spent a ton of time making sure the large volume of hardware included in our kit was organized and easy to understand, so I hope the problems your mechanic encountered were only a one-time freak occurrence.

Congrats on your new TT kit! I have same kit installed. I SIMPLY LOVE IT!
I run 9psi with alky control, still stock engine. Very impressive tire spinning first three gears......
Mine made 622/620 on IPS mustang dyno, Africa hot conditions with lots of humidity.

Looks good!!! Quality of the welds, and what I can see of the fab work are first class. Instructions are hard for any of us to create...always a work in progress.

The Tialwastegates are as good as money can buy. Two thumbs up from me

His Tuner is one of the best in Louisiana. I used him for my previous car(1998 Camaro) and ran it hard for eight years with noooooooo problems.

But man to say you pushed out 589RWHP @ 5psi with only a turbo and no other mods is jaw dropping!!! Excellent numbers on HP and TQ!!! You have a nice kit and a great tuner!!! Wait until you change those gears!!!
