So is it the lower peak power that you have a problem with? The expense? The brand?

All I want is an educated opinion beyond the realm of "noob", "show" ,"rice" or "ghey", all of which are useless adjectives when it comes to backing up one's opinion.

So??

Lack of power, the difficulty of tuning the blue box, hard to upgrade.

For the money there are many much better kits that will make good power.

Thank you. I'll look into the issues you brought up. Sadly, us CA peeps don't have many options, other than go outlaw...:upset:

FMUs suck universally. And how is it hard to upgrade? It uses Mitsu turbos!

Try looking at a GSR, that's what we're looking for...not a single cam. And while sacrificing some peak power, you get a turbo that spools faster.

And FMU's do suck completely.

If I was going turbo, I'd piece together my own kit, and go with an AEM EMS.....screw cali smog :madfawk::angry:

There's gotta be something else going wrong there.
