Scott, send them to Blouch yourself but you will still need a tune for the upgrade. I want a ride when you finish the install.

Very impressive; 604rwhp on 93OCT/Pump Gas? What does your injection system consist of?

Yeah those runs are on 93 octane from the Marathon down the road.

Looking for some more clients to step up and get numbers for us on this package. Everyone hates to admit that these might just make K24 power but spool a lot harder...

Scott, remember to add the cost of a new clutch plus labor when going to this kind of HP.

I sent mine in directly to Blouch and had it turned around in 4 days I believe. I then had them ship it directly to EPL so EPL can make their WG adjustments.

Which is better and cheaper? A lot of the tuners send in their turbos to Blouch for a rebuild anyway. If you're working with a tuner and they're actually taking good care of you then I wouldn't mind letting them make a few bucks as the middle man. However, you're going to get the same product either way regarding the hardware. So better is a wash as it's the same turbo and cheaper is going directly to Blouch (if you can get them on the phone, try calling early right after they open). I hope that helps.
