OH Greddy Turbo blew engine
So I bought a turbo from my buddy... which he bought from a guy... (yeah I know Im off to a bad start) it's a full kit with greddy emanage and methanol injection.. Everything!! well when my buddy installed it on his 8 he blew it up in about 3 days. I am going to run my cobb tuner when I install this kit and I checked the turbo out and ever seems to function properly. Is the greddy kit really a plug and play or do you have to get it tuned asap??

there are a handful of deficiencies in the stock greddy kit. all of them are covered with their fixes on this forum. Read up in the major horsepower section and you'll save yourself a world of disappointment in the future.

Step One -

First find an old blue E-Manage piggyback controller, one made in 2004 would be best........
