I wouldnt put a oil line at 1mm of the manifold myself. Maybe it's safe, but it's really not the best...

8k miles on it so far... only problem is nasty oil leaks from main seals... especially under boost

this is the only one i have used personally. right out of the box it was getting 5psi. i shimmed it with a large washer and get 7psi now. its consistent. i can say that. it doesnt spike higher boost at first and then taper down to what you want. it just snaps right to it and stays till redline.

you said it doesn't come with any engine management but i thought i read a post that you sell the kits like this for $800 and $950 with a p28 an a basemap?

you are correct. When I get the kits they have no ecu. I sell those for $800 shipped. If you want one, then I add in an ecu that I chipped for $950.

Nice write up! I need a new (read bigger) turbo, and a CDM one may be what the doctar ordered.
