?? there really are no major issues with it as long as your a competant installer/tuner....it's not a bolt on and forget it type kit.

There are things that need to be addressed during the install (the silicone connectors for the IC pipe stink....a GReddy trademark!), and the gaskets stink as well....other than that, it's fairly well done IMHO

It is a good kit, nicely made and good quality, the main issues coming up are tunning or the lack of ability to tune it (password) specially since Greddy seems to have richened up the emanage tremendously, people will just to take into account the cost of buying MAPS or tunning from scratch.

We don't necessarily need to tune it from scratch, do we? I thought I saw the injector add & fuel maps on the forums with the original greddy maps.

The Greddy is more readily tunable than the PE or upcoming APS kit, so not sure what you are refering to. Sure, the Greddy eManage is password protected, but all you do is initialize it, and ten reenter the stock fuel table into the "Add injector map", and scale the injectors. Then you tune until your hearts content via Profec e-01 or a laptop/Greddy support tool.

The PE requires $500 reflashes to tune, and the 3 day wait time. The APS kit, from what Peter has told us, will not be user tunable at all; must be tuned at an APS dealer.

As mentioned, none of these kits are totally perfect out of the box, and typically require some extra TLC and a good installer to get everything working correctly. I do however, feel the Greddy TT...for about $5500 is an awesome base for future mods and build ups.

I guess I should clarify, it is tuneable if you have an e01 or Emanage Support Tool, neither of which come with the kit.

But you cannot tune the existing program that comes with the kit, to tune it you need to input the original tables I saw posted here before or start with blank MAPS, but you need to know what you are doing it is not an easy thing if you don't know your way around the e01 or Support tool, because lets face it the instructions aren't great, they assume you know something about the units and tuning, and you also need some dyno time.

Those original MAPS posted are better than the one that comes with the kit now, it seems to be leaner.
