We have 5 orders that didn’t get the discharge pipe kit, and those will be going out next week. The turbos are all ready to go now, however we’ve been waiting on the revised silicone hose for the pipe kits which are supposed to be ready at the very end of November. Thank you all for your patience!

I’m on the list of those who got the discharge kit, so my wait will be a bit longer but I don’t mind at all. That’s what I get for waiting to pull the trigger in this deal :shrug:

Most everyone is in the same boat. Just the lucky first few snagged the last few turbos that were available.

Small revisions for fitment to make the install easier. But it did mean a new mold, so it added a bit of a delay. All in the name of progress though

Still thinking of selling the pipe kit separate? It’ll fit other turbos? I’d be interested if so.

Yep absolutely. Priority right now is to get enough of them for the turbo kits. But once we’re caught up, we’ll offer them separately as well.

We're finally adding power to the tune... I ran out of fueling headroom on the stock system around 29psi, which was ezpz for the turbo to make . Working on dialing it back a bit while retaining as much oomph as possible.
I'm easily exceeding the top-end of the IS38 + E35 + meth tune I was running before, but this time on pump+meth. Still hitting full spool around 3k RPM. Really happy with this turbo.

This is great to hear.

Do you have any fuel pump or injector upgrades at this point?

I'm bone-stock on the fueling system. It's the only thing, external to the engine, that I haven't modified lol.
I am spraying meth from a cm5, but the flow isn't really that much. It is mostly used as a cooling agent to keep things around ambient.
I'm running 29 w/ an Autotech HPFP and my factory Golf-R injectors which I hear is slightly more flow than the GTi's.

This is my plan as well. Will pick up the Autotech HPFP in the winter and initially run 92 pump and go from there.

Was it the lower hose?
