UMW here. UMW clutch and LWFW (RS part) too as his code had too much torque.

I've never had to replace a clutch on any car I owned, some to over 100k miles...so I am not bad on clutches.

You won't go wrong with either vendor. I plan to get some zero clearance (gt2 turbine) custom turbochargers from Kevin in time....to me, that is my next big step.

and you won't regret those turbines. it is amazing how much power I put out with pump gas and stock injectors at 6000 ft of altitude.

nope and doubtful that I will have one as I don't feel like disconnecting my front drive.

However, I will have 60-130 times by the end of this year after I get my new clutch, so you can expect that by the end of the year barring any issues.

Update:

Car drives great. My car put out 456whp and 506wtq yesterday on it's 2nd run.
I'm sure I could have sqeezed out a few more ponies if it wasn't so hot.
The shop didn't have a second fan for the other intercooler either.
Overall I'm happy I went with EPL.
Thanks Tony!

Good stuff, this thread got me interested in a tune and as a result, I went to EPL's website, and there stuff seems very reasonably priced, are their prices comprable to the competion or much lower?

You are not buying a 'commodity' like a MAF or a tire or a spark plug.

IMHO

I think there are cheaper tunes and there are more expensive.

Think of your tuner like your doctor...well, your car's doctor. The "cheapest" isn't always the best, HOWEVER, if the "cheapest" comes with good recommendations...kinda hard to argue with a win/win...
