Stillen vortech charger kit
 
Ive got a few questions in regards to this kit.. first question, ive searched and read most of the threads regarding this kit.. So basically I havent heard to many good things about the stillen tune, which is fine bcause ill be going with a third party tune. The question i have is, am i able to use the stillen tune to get me to the shop that'll be tuning it? And also with the stillen tune, is the shop im going to for tuning, going to be able to tune this car with out the stillen custom tuning package? The reason im going with the stillen kit is the company i manage has an account with them, so gtm's price point was AlOT higher.
thanks guys.

You should be fine with the kit. You should be fine getting the car to your tuner with the Stillen canned tune. not sure about the stillen custom tuning package but I am thinking that it is an UpRev tune. A reputable tuner will probably be able to do a good uprev tune.

Good luck. Boost is good...

Im hoping this will be the case, the guy im bringing it to is uprev certified..
what kind of numbers u putting down kirkster, if u dont mind me asking? :)

Where do you see the GTM price higher than the Stillen?

alright, get it. Some people made very good numbers with that kit and has proven to work great on a few car's. You should ask them to see if they can throw in the 9lbs pulley instead of the 8lbs.

hey weiboy, i did obtain a 9lb pulley, im at 2500 above sea.. so i thought maybe the 9lb would be the best bet. I really hope this doesnt turn into a nightmare :S.. i thjink it was you weiboy that was having problem with ur stillen kit? What where your problems?
did u end up going with the gtm?

Yeah, I did had some problems with it and I shouldn't start talking about it again lol. There should be more than enough info on the FI threads. I switched kits since January, much much better and fun now

You can use the Stillen tune to get to the shop that is going to tune your car. However the Stillen tune is locked so you your tune would have to be done from scratch.

Can most upRev tuners do this? I guess i should just contact him and get some further info on this.

it takes time to tune a car... thats where going to the right tuner will lead you.

Weiboy pushed me away from the Stillen s/c kit... I look back and wish I jumped on it back then before Mr Squeeze did
