What turbo upgrade did you go with ? Anything bigger than stock and you shouldn't really fit this .

You guys with upgraded turbos are blockin Aux port off? Thought it was better to have the plate with stock greddy and remove it for larger turbos?

Edit: NVM mis-read your post Brett

Don't use the block-off plate, no matter what turbo you are using.
If you need it blocked (which would be discovered during tuning), you simply turn the AUX port off in the PCM by setting its opening point out of range.

good point - I have noticed that guys fitting this often end up with boost leaks as well .

Anyone in "Overboosted Overlords Club" live in or close to Minnesota, that is willing to receive a guest? We're going via Chicago, so that might be an alternative as well.

I'm from Norway and gonna visit some relatives in Fergus Falls for 3.5 weeks. I've been VERY keen to mod my car to FI, but would really like to try one first.

Installed and started my Greddy kit over the weekend. I finished the install last night and have driven about 40 miles on it so far. Mods:Fix#2, Apexi BOV, Extreme PSI couplers and T-clamps, Agency Power midpipe and catback, and Cobb AP with MM base tune. Still need to take some logs.
