Kilo does pretty good work from what I hear. I met the owner last year and he gave me a intro to the owner of gato performance.

Back on topic tho, I have a turbo fb Franken rotor engine that Made 333 last year with kan on 14 lbs.

What's your car doing that it runs bad?

Kilo does amazing work, i have been dealing with him since 2004. And its been a solid experience thus far. Since moving back to Milwaukee i notice the car was running lean on the top end. So, i got this bright spot idea to buy a hand held for my 10LT-s. So, needless to say...i goofed the program on the car. I went through the ECU and it appears its locked but i can't bring it back. So, i need help getting my program back or putting another tune on the car. I also put my name on the list for the May tune in Chicago (Steven Kan).

I actually like the stock turbo. I've used them in various setups and they make respectable power, especially for the street. I'm currently tuned for 8 psi and i made 292 at the wheels on a mustang dyno.

Why do you temp me with such nice things so soon? I still have to get it all sorted out first

It is going to be a slightly cheaper money pit then the FD, but money pit none the less.

Oh I'm interested, I'm just trying to be good. I want to shake the car down this summer in stock like form and get it sorted before I go for power or anything crazy. Besides the FD still needs bigger secondaries, sways, wheels and tires and a tune. I have enough money to waste this year

I do love how everything is so much cheaper for the FC. I think this car I will end up going big on.

Are you wanting to loan it out to me? Because, of course I'll store it at my place for you.

Go ahead and sell to arch phill. I need to buy a new AC for the house before I buy anymore parts for the car if I want to stay married, alive, and in one piece.

Nice izzy. Today I hope to finally get back out to the garage since the great freeze has broke. I gotta finish ripping out the rats nest and running new fuel lines. Unfortunately I'm also on kid duty, so we will see what progress I make.


So what do you guys think about my dilemma. I want to track this car. Do I keep the PS as is, de power current rack OR convert to a manual?

I hate the hugenormous size of the s4 pump.
