Yeah unfortunately there are virtually no other LNF tuners on the CSS Gang FB page so James is heralded as the LNF tuning god. (No joke, I actually saw someone write that). This forum and that FB page are 2 completely different worlds with 2 completely different mindsets .

A buddy of mine showed me the fb page and if people thought this forum was bad, they really need to see that page. It's 10 times worse. So many kids and people who think they know it all. So much bickering and people acting like babies as well.

Back on track though, would still like to see something on it other than hear say.

Yours on 93 with the 6758 is still faster than that. I did a stock turbo on E-85 with cams that ran 3.8 60-100s.

Definitely. Even when it's hot and heat soaked I crank out 3.8-3.9s easily. Would just like to see something impressive other than word of mouth or something to see what it's about. Tuning plays a good part in making power though. Can't hide that at all.

I think Wert (Sam) got kicked off as well, and James had tuned (well tried to tune lol) him. James had no idea and was talking his normal **** to Sam about how I am a shitty tuner and I blow peoples cars up and how his car would run better with his tune. Meanwhile James has no idea that he had tuned Sam and that Sam was so unhappy with how the car ran that he was going to attempt to tune it himself before I stepped up and took over. James can talk all the **** he wants, but the fact of the matter is I have retuned at least a dozen if not more of his customers and every single one of them is much happier with how their car drives and runs overall vs with his tune. That says something.

So is the 7163 a bolt on equivalent to the s256et in terms of peak power?

the 7163 install

I have never done any mechanical work of this level. I know a good bit and put all my bolt ons on my car and so on with that being said. The install was fairly easy did it in the yard with some plasti ramps took me about 7 hours. Thats with running to the store a couple of times. Didnt run into any problems. Fitment was good. Only thing was my k&n was a tight fit as I couldn't put the heat shield in or mount it down. As of james being my tuner I haven't really been on the forums till this tread. So yeah everyone made him seem like hes the best of the best. Will start jumping on here alot more often as soon as I figure out the site a lil better. And the performance of the turbo. My car is just bolt ons and the zfr. Everything esle is stock with a new motor with only about 2k miles on it. Also have a stock clutch. So I ask for a very conservative tune till later. There is no ethenol in my area so it will be all 93. And with what yall are telling me about james its kinda scaring me a lil. I will make a video also what would you guys like to see in it?

I too can vouch that nothing good can come from dealing with that clown (James). I too have had the unfortunate task of fixing his botched work plenty of times. It's all half assed nonsense and he somehow has the poor folks over there mesmerized in some sort of delusional trance that can't be shaken. You question him or his methods and you get nothing but lambasted from the hoards of unknowledgeable ignorant fools.... the biggest of which is him. Unfortunately most of which likely frequent here, but aren't courageous enough to speak up about it without the mighty god clown backing their ignorance.

I know the coupler is real tight, but the K&N is still the best intake to run with the zfrs.

Does this turbo work with the existing zfr 6758 hardware? Ie. Coolant, oil lines?

The gears are night and day different. The powerband is so intense and just pulls and pulls. Damn quick too.
