Hey guys, sorry for the delayed posting. Here’s my SGP FL5

PRL P700 turbo
Dw300 fuel pump
K&N drop in filter
RV6 Downpipe
Milltek full non resonated exhaust with front pipe
Hasport Rear mount
PRL Front Mount Intercooler
Hondata FP / jailbroken ECU
Ngk Rhuthenium Spark plug upgrade.

Parts to install next:
4piston drop in cams (sitting in the garage)
HPFP
Flex fuel kit
Injectors
Eibach pro kit (waiting for FL5 specific)
A decent front lip

Your my Idol! I'm looking to do the same mods. What's your take on the PRL vs RV6 offering?
I need to find a local tuner...

Any reason you're opposed to a remote tune? Most people do not know how to tune the R correctly tbh. Several guys had reputable local DFW tuners tune their FK8 and immediately went back to a phearable or DRob tune.

I just didn't think remote tuning would have the same results. Also thought it would be riskier.

Gotcha. Fwiw, they can tweak it to your liking after they review your log data. I've heard DRob is a little slower to respond, but that is partly because he is super busy. Every tuner has their respective meat riders, but just from the guys I know who are pushing big numbers, the remote tune is the way to go.

That's great to know since the higher rated guys are hundreds of miles away from me. I'll thank you my wallet does not.

Disconnected the stereo noises it sounds like? You "need" an intake on there so we can hear that turbo!

Very nice, enjoy it.

nah I think the exhaust overwhelm the stereo noise or I’m just use-to it lol.

Tuning on a dyno is preferred but e-tunes are just as good with reputable tuner. Only thing I'd stay away from is OTS maps. People have good results with them but I'd like to have mine custom tuned specifically for my car instead of having an universal map.

Generally speaking, there's nothing wrong with an OTS map. Doubtful reputable outfits like Cobb Tuning or Hondata would have survived if they didn't offer OTS maps. I've run OTS maps over the years across several platforms, made good useable power safely, and ran fast at the track. I've also had vehicles dyno tuned and street tuned. Like everything else, there are pros and cons to each.

My EVO X blew up from a COBB OTS tune completely stock with a cobb intake. Flashed and installed by Cobb Plano themselves. Not knocking on OTS maps. Someone flashed the wrong map on the AP and boom she went. Which is why I stayed away from OTS maps since

Ah, that was operator error. Hope they paid for the rebuild.

Just a wash

Before/After installing LEDs in the trunk light.

All photos were taken without flash - the newer bulbs are significantly brighter and give off a nice white light!

Great addition. Do you plan on adding the tailgate light as well?
