How much boost is this GReddy kit supposed to push?

Oh wait, I retract my query....must use search button...wait...this isn't the rxclub??



sorry, practicing smartass.



I dont know if you guys saw the article in RX Tuner, but apparently the Renesis has issues handling too much boost, supposedly because of the higher compression. hmm....

Looks nice. I would stick with that turbo and see how everything runs though before tossing it aside for something larger. Is the car still at the shop?

yup The are putting 4 new coils on my car. I think it will be brand new after the dealer keeps throwing parts at it.



Ray wants to build a kit based on the greddy kit. I will leave it up to him.

So are they saying that the coils are already burned up or do they just think its misfiring?
