But why are you holding on to the re-flash so much? You'll probably be in a need of a tunable EMS during the upcoming build. Why not now?

I meant that the F1 turbine wheel on my stock motor setup would have thrown off the reflash. I wanted it to be a direct swap at the time.

You should have no problems reaching those goals.
Be nice about the PE TT now.

Granted the PETT is a capable kit. He just assumed that I was keeping my stock turbo for some reason.

Trust me, I know my options, and I would certainly be wasting money by going with a TT kit. So please don't attempt to insult my intelligence with ignorant comments of "what's best".

you sure are a fcking hot head for someone who has been in the armed forces.. calm the fck down and take everything with a stride..
"douchebaggery" is that even neccessary? you wasted your fcking money on 3 turbo's and you have the nerve to say Twin Turbo owners wasted their money?
when your kit reaches the ceiling at 580 whp if you are lucky.. and your HP curve starts dying off at 6000 rpms.. you can then come back and tell me who wasted their damn money..
your attack on priscilla ls1 wasn't even neccessary

Well I'm sorry to hear that your motor went. That sucks. But I'm surprised that you made the changes you did without doing the UTEC (or something) first.
I was aslo surprised to hear that you had experienced the blown turbo seal smoke issue (or whatever YOU think it is). I'll be very interested to see where you go with this. I assume there will never be a TN stage II kit since you've always said you're holding out for that.

Well taurran so far you have not impressed me with anything and you come on here making a thread expecting everone to come on and kiss your a$$. Then you call me ignorant and a douche along with others in less the 2 pages!! I also served in the armed forces but I'm so glad I did not come out such a ***** like you!
