I missed that. I would say if he wants to keep the stock bumper then that would be a reason to seriously consider the JWT kit.

i just love the stock clean look plus i have a lip already on it and kinda made my bodykit flow with it ....it would throw it off if i put on a greddy front or something else for a fmic.....so i'll prolly just get the jwt

will the emanage work on the jwt kit?? any reviews??? utec is hard to work with around here...not many shops are familiar with it

I personally wouldn't put an Emanage on anything. The UTEC is easy to work with - I had never tuned a car in my life and I tuned my car with the UTEC. It takes about 20 mintues to figure out the crappy interface, but after that it's not bad at all.

Why Emanage ....If you are not going to get one of the better ones (Fcon, Haltech) why not use the one that come with the JWT ?

+1 with a little help then it is easy to tune Utec and also easy to fvck it up

I think the Split sec comes with the JWT. You are in NY....so call or PM Julian at MRC....he is a JWT dealer and installer.

That's not the stock front end that is the velside widebody kit on the green car.

Also that is on a dyno, one time. It's still not ideal at all.

The jim wolf comes with the split second box wich in my opinion is no better than the emanage. If you are spending all the money on a twin turbo kit do it right and get a UTEC or better.

Another option for your dual IC is to get the full SFR big boy twin kit. That is an amazing kit!

I needed no extra piping when I mated up the SFR dual intercoolers to the greddy kit. As far as I know, I am the only one on these boards (edit: oops, I forgot about Mardi Gras) who has the greddy/sfr combo.

You can use some of the extra piping from the greddy kit (that's not used) to mate it up perfectly to the SFR kit. No extra cost for pipes or fabricating. Just use a chop saw to cut the extra greddy pipes to the right size!

can u still use the stock bumper guard and styrofoam that protects your front????? or do I have to remove all of it and just rely on my radiator support in case of a front end collision?
