Well my car has been more or less sitting in my parents’ garage for quite some time and since I had ACL reconstructive surgery I couldn't clutch for a while and it was/still is winter anyways. My problem is that I put the greddy kit on my car last spring and was kind of dumb and never put a BOV on the car so I don't want to turn up the boost, not only that I'm not impressed with the kit as a whole at all, I can dig the huge FMIC but I though greddy would have done a much better job with the kit, I don't seem to notice allot more power I mean there is some but I expected more even @ 6 PSI, anyways was anyone else duped by the greddy kit and did you find any ways around it? What did you do with the BOV set up (like did you have to get the greddy software to change settings so you could vent to atmosphere? or just recirc it?) what did you use for a boost controller? I guess what I'm asking is what mods to the greddy kit were made with good or bad results. For some reason I feel as if I'ma get flamed for this topic but didn't find much info for the greddy kit, I've read the boards alot but usualy find what I need so I don't need to post Thanx in AdvanceP-unit

Just search for my threads... I always ***** about my greddy kit.

I dont have a bov so no info about that.

If I did not cover it in one of the threads ask away.

Man I'm sorry to hear that your dissapointed with your Greddy kit. I have had mine on for about 3800 miles now and have had nothing but great things to say about it (148,000 miles on original stock motor) I have the Blitz DD BOV and it is vented to the atmosphere and I've had no problems with it. My car is way faster than it ever was stock and it always pulls strong. I hope you figure yours out and get to enjoy the kit as I am. Red-KAT helped me a lot with questions I had about the kit, so if you run into any problems he's the man to ask. I will aslo help you out with anything you may need info on, just ask. If you do decide to get rid of the whole kit let me know, I have another engine that I would like to build up so we may be able to work something out. Good luck.

Well I didn't mean that my car wasn't faster, but I didn't know to much about turbos and the waste gate seems undersized thinking about it. kinda makes me wonder but either way i'm glad its up and boosting and there was actualy a day nice enough to take it out but there is still a few probs one being that the down pipe bolts heads broke off Oops! and its not down tight any one know where to get a cheep gasket? any ways after getting rid of spit fire plugs and going to NGKs it pulls alot harder, Idles better and seems to be all around that I had crappy plugs before
