Update on Littco L450.
So as it seems I cannot get a return answer from Daniel from multiple emails and instagram messages. I placed the order,(said it was in stock) for the L450 and went thru the ordering process. It asked me payment options and I hit bank transfer because it was US to Euro and I finished the order. I received email confirmation with order number and that was it. I didn’t send any funds because I thought Daniel would reply and explain what I had to do next once my order was taken. I’ve tried with more then a hand full of times to reach him with zero responses. Does anyone on the forum know him personally? I’d like to get him paid so he can ship my turbo or just move on and choose something else because if this is how his customer service is I rather not have to deal with Littco if I have a failure. I’m in no way bashing him , I just don’t understand how a company wouldn’t want to get paid and ship out an order that was filed. I’m lost on what to do next besides post here and ask if anyone knows more. So frustrating

Try FB messenger, he has responded fast in the past there.

I'll PM you his phone number. It's expensive to call though.

Update again:

So I feel like a dick... I guess I was impatient or just expecting too much from a busy shop. Daniel from Littco returned my messages saying he was sorry, and that he spends all his time in the workshop. The conclusion is he sent me a paypal invoice and everything went like it should. Now I basically just have to wait to get it in the mail. So can I buy a install kit to swap this out with my is20? Will I need anything else? I want to do a muffler delete on the turbo, but I ordered it complete with the actuator so I don’t have to swap anything. I watched a YouTube video showing a rubber hose I would need? I just want to make sure I have everything when it comes to get it swapped. Any recommendations on spark plugs and gap settings. I’m going 93 octane tune with no meth or e85. Thank guys

ECS sells a hardware kit for swapping turbos. Has studs, gaskets etc. For spark plugs the RS7 or Ruthenium and usually you gap at 24 but you might have to regap after you're tuned.

Any updates?

I received the Littco L450 from Daniel. I’m now gathering my supporting fuel mods before I put the turbo on. It’s my daily so I have to do everything on a time frame. MPI and a LPFP should do the trick for what I’m looking to make. Called UM for a quote on dyno time for the retune and he’s a few months backlogged. I’m going to buy a new intake , the MPI , LPFP and fuel controller and have them ready. I have to call and schedule dyno time but first I want all the parts in my hand.

You're not messing around. Good job.

Thank you , and if it weren’t for a select few of you guys I wouldn’t know what direction I would have taken. Thank you personally for that as well. I hope to have a nice safe combination in the end.

Good choice on going the hybrid route. My HPA OEM+ IS38 has been great with no issues but if I could start over, I would've went hybrid turbo from the beginning.

So I’ve been looking at going hpa oem plus but am torn with the vortex ! Do i need fueling upgrades to run the vortex ? Eventually will do the upgrade but I’m just curious

I'd just go straight to the EQT Vortex, but you will need fueling upgrades to take full advantage of that turbo.
