AFR's are good we confirmed with logs and separate wideband. We tested spark at idle with our results. Can't confirm coils are the issue until I find replacements and retest but the test gives us a definite starter point.

Gregs glad to see the kit is capable of mainting 10psi to redline. Making me consider it in the future. Thanks for the update! Good luck with the coils
Yeah it seems like a hit or miss but from what Brett has experienced this will show itself when you start to get into a nice power range. 9 psi feels great infact feels the strongest the car has been. With the new MAC solenoid and Greddy E01 ebc boost control is easily achievable with little effort, on a 4psi spring we can maintain 10 psi at just 23% on the controller and only 10% rpm offset. We have only begun to crack open what this kit is made of and so far has exceeded my goal.

For me it was about having the right EBC, with my manual boost controller it would not hold, I was down to 3psi by redline when I was getting tuned. Once I got the HKS EVC-S programmed right I have no issues holding to redline (set at 8500RPM) but you gotta be careful. Of course my turbo is not a stock Greddy though but nothing fancy.

Great news guys!!! I am super excited to see this beast up and running!

Slash128 had issues with the bhr coils and spent a long time trouble shooting them, in the end he went back to stock coils and has been using those without issue sense.

Awesome to hear man! And Brett will get you all figured out with those coils

How much of a squeeze was it to get the intake and charge piping both through the front bumper like that?

Same exact experience. In fact I used the same phrase "fell on its face" to describe it. I just got tired of swapping around to figure it out...

Whilst I'm a little dissapointed we didn't get this thing hauling *** while i was there ............ I'm 99% sure that it will be doing just that once Greg gets the coils sorted . Looking forward to it as much as Greg is !
