GTM Twin SC. How to not destroy my car?

dmhenderson · 05-10-2014, 10:24 PM

The product itself is fine. I've been running a GTM SC kit for some time now and another guy in my area has as well - no issues with the quality and I had a guy in my area who is a renown whiz with these cars double check everything (and paid through the nose for it). Verdict was that the kit was high quality once we got the right parts and had everything set up properly.

That said, their "bedside manner" and timetables suck.

Edit: Also if you are concerned that a FI build is going to "destroy your car", then you don't want a FI build. FI conversions on non-built motors and hey, even built motors are nerve wracking. You are introducing multiple failure points into a vehicle that was not engineered for the stress(es) you're about to put on it. Things can and will go wrong and when they do, it's going to be expensive to fix. If what I'm describing to you does not sound appealing, then please for the love of god, do not build it.

I'm attempting to prevent those with this post, by finding out where those failure points are and whether a replaced part can patch it or resist failure better than factory.
