All Ems packages you see on the web site are preloaded and ready for installation, if you lack a shop or an installer, I would recommend the standalone option with knock control. With the proper installation you can get the car up and running no problem.
If you would like to go with a piggy back, I would recommend flashing the ECU as well, this will give us a better safety margin.
As far as the best piggyback choice, I would recommend HKS, Greddy ultimate since they both use their own injector and coil driver.
There is a simpler and cheaper piggyback option like split second and unichip, these two systems use crank offset for timing control with is not the best way of doing things.


Hope this helps.

Thanks Sam,
So you would probably recommend going with the FCON then as the best choice for this type of situation? Installation would be a home install on a lift. Car is a 6spd so I think this may simplify things a little. Is the FCON set up with a plug and play harness?

Looking forward to it as well. Without the 5AT losses in mine, your gains will be HUGE.

A pre-tuned FCon and Knock Amp combo will be a good package because you will have active knock detection that works very well (tested by GTM).

The new knock amp works so well, its truly awesome.

I would feel very confident sending you a pretuned FCon with knock amp, the car will run flawlessly.

Depending on which set of turbos you go with, on our website we have accompanying Garret compressor maps for each turbo, so you can choose which would suit your application best.

J/w if you have all this time to market and work on your new in house turbo kits, why is it that you cant simply ship out my buddies power enterprise kit for the past 4 weeks? Or simply allow him to cancel the order since you dont seem to have the time to ship it out? J/w

George,
Are you guys running this kit with an upgraded fuel system? I didn't see it on the parts list of kit components. I think on Terrycs's car you used a stage 0 fuel system. For 400-450hp would you recommend just a pump or a full return system.

1. Why are you posting here and not your buddy?

2. We didn't sell the kit to your friend, our customer did and we are the middle man. You can cancel all you want, just deal with the customer, not us.

3. a personal check was sent for the kit, we stated we would have to wait 10 days for the check to clear and he understood, once the funds cleared we applied that credit to our customers account, since it is his kit, and the transaction is between him and your buddy.

4. We spoke to him John this morning, and he said to go ahead and ship the kit out, which we haven't done because he was undecided between this kit and the JWT 850 BB.

So please get your facts straight before trying to bash us on the forum.


P.S. If he would like to cancel the kit go ahead, we could care less that is between Your buddy and our customer. We are doing this service 100% for free to help our customer, we are actually losing time and money, for something we have zero to gain from.

-George
