I have no experience with tom, so no comment there. My experiences with F2 aren't great, my buddy bought a turbo car from them that was a joke...the thing barely ran. Everything from the quality of the turbo setup to the tuning was pretty ghetto, so I'd advise going with tom or randy if you're remote tuning.

x2. it's always better to dyno tune though.... if you can find a shop locally that has experience tuning foci.

How do you figure? It's a little bit safer...but remote street tuning allows the car to be tuned for how you actually drive it, as well as for a realistic load. You can ensure it has proper fueling through shifts, as well as at constant rpms (holding a certain speed), that it can handle upshifts, downshifts, quick revs, wheelspin. You can see how it reacts through all those situations. You can't do all that on a dyno. The best way to tune is to dyno tune first, as a base tune, and then do street tuning to perfect it for your actual driving.

^^^ Agreed. That is how our local DSM MASTER ,lol, does it. And he has crazy talent in what he does!

Ya I would probably go through tom if I end up with this kit. I'm still definitely considering the FS turbo kit though or doing a diy kit.

^^ FSW kit is GREAT!!! I have about 2,000 miles on mine. Its very very streetable. Im making about 222 whp and 214 tq @ 9.5 psi with the GT28RS turbo. Im waiting for my clutch to go and then im going stage II and then 11 psi. But its great driveability and the gas mileage isnt bad either a little better than when i had my header. Either way you choose to go boost is an addiction lol.

^^ Ya that kit is looking more and more tempting the more I look at it. I think I will go Stage 1 first but I want to get my clutch and lsd before even that. Just for things to run a bit more smoothly. Then eventually I will go to stage 2. If I get the FSW kit that is. Or even the F2 kit.

cpz1987 · 11-25-2009, 09:30 PM

my biggest thing is... can you swap that master power out for a another turbo?

x FoCuSfReAk x · 11-25-2009, 10:26 PM

You might be able to....I would think you could if they were already going to do so with their kit. Unless I missed them talking about having to change things up for the new turbo. Which if that is possible I wonder if there is a way to get the kit a bit cheaper if you asked. The only thing I would wonder about is the tune....wouldn't it have to be changed in order to match the new turbo?

Paladin · 11-25-2009, 11:55 PM

last i heard they are going to be usign a different turbo company than master power. as they have had issues wit hteh mp turboes ,(like everyone has had)
as for the tuning change. depends on the turbo and spool time.
i'd still supercharge it just to be different.

***1turbofocus*** · 11-26-2009, 10:36 AM

I will never understand wanting to be different over performance and adjustability

They are still going to use a different turbo company but there were delays so they had to switch back to master power for the time being.
