If the problem is oil heating up and breaking down causing the bearings to fail, don't you think an oil cooler would be helpful, not just a gadget?

Best of luck....I was only trying to help you avoid all the hassel I have already been through. Hope it works for you- Jim

Granted, I has less than 3,000 miles on the kit, but I got my money back. If you're in the waranty period.....get your cash back. This is crap IMO. I took my cash and went STS turbo and I could not be happier. Good Luck- Jim
PS. I originally bought the unit through superchargers4less and they really stepped up to get me my money back. Ask your vendor to help you out.
dont run CATS with that turbo set up...if they fail...so will your turbo once it inhales all that magnesium!

test pipes should be the only way anyone should install these kits.

My two cents.
