Here is a good idea, istead of uselessly bumping this thread and getting all our hopes up, how about you simply do all the tuning on the Down Low, and simply post the dyno numbers and results when said and done??
im tired of seeing this thread bumped to the top and getting dissapointed.
Cause so far all I read was 75 pages of "how not to build a single turbo kit". but its nice to see your still trying!!

This project has evolved immensely from the original scope, to where it is at now. You have no idea what you're talking about.
Please get out of my thread(s) before you and everyone else gets banned again. Thanks.

I applaud you for taking the initiative to be a VQ pioneer and developing your own Single Turbo kit around an existing kit, depite the masses telling you it could not be done. You took all the negatives and turned them positive.Your a winner and winners never quit...
I have grown to repsect you for your intitive and "never give up attitude"
Im sorry to post in your thread, however I was intruiged by the recent bump of your thread, to see if your project had finally been completed to your satisfaction, and wanted to see the posted results.
I can say I was just as dissapointed as the rest of the recent posters to see there had been no results posted..
Your killing us man, were all sitting on the edges of our seats awaiting your FINAL TUNE..

And yes, I don't think anyone knows more about sitting on the edge of their seat more than me. My butt has been hanging on for the last 8 months and is really starting to hurt.

No, it's not competition. I've already stated that if I were to start over and do a completely custom Single Turbo setup, I would do things totally different. We started out trying to do as little as possible to upgrade the piping and things just progressed from there.
I actually have some great ideas for a really big power ST kit, but few, if any, are actually part of my car.
Since the situations are totally different, I can't accept your deal.

Good luck on the tune, looking forward to seeing your results.

Glad things are coming together, Craig... I want a ride in that baby when you get her done!
Oh, and of course a small bump for Julian...

Pretty sure he runs his dyno more than you guys because he runs his shop full time. Good luck on the rest of your setup Craig.
