Ya FIC's customer service is the best I've ever experienced. So I would not worry at all. They will take care of it and in a timely manor also. They are very on top of what they do, that's why that's the only brand injector i recommend to my customers and have sold hundreds of sets and will continue to do so.

Positive light is ahead only now! That was def a lot of troubleshooting.

NP glad to help you. at the same time i think we simplified your fuel system a little bit also now.

That's good to hear you finally found the problem! Was beginning to get worried this car would never get done. Any update as of lately?

FIC 1800's are installed now. Waiting on a basemap to start it up on. Then hopefully trouble free tuning from now on.

Tried out the 1800's FIC sent me. Same problem. Car wouldn't idle properly and would run rough when cruising. I tried out some 2150's and they run like just as good as stock ones on a base map. Waiting for my own set of 2150's to show up now. I have a new tune ready to go.

Full blown double pumper installed. FIC 2150's installed. Car runs much better now. Time to get back to tuning.

Worlds longest tune. I've tuned about 120 Evos in the process of helping diagnose all bugs in this car.

Nick at least takes the time to work all the bugs out though and doesn't give up, so in the end he will have a good running car.

He had the full blown wired to run both pumps at once, so i told him to make it so the 2nd comes on with a pressure switch, otherwise both pumps running together really create a lot of heat and more wear & tear in the long run making them not as reliable.

Wow! Thats alot of cars to tune in the meantime while he has been fixing all the bugs!

When do you think you can have him tuned and done? Sounds like everything is back together and working correctly now. I want to go for a ride in this thing already!

Dip stick keeps blowing out. Intercooler, piping and intake has oil in it. Going to do leakdown test to see how engine is health wise and get turbo rebuild. 7700 miles on the setup.
