I bought a turbo KA with 203k miles on it, and so far it's been nothing but problems. I have put an extra 4gz on it trying to fix it, but now its going to need another 4gz, so I'm just going to swap an SR20 just to save money.

tell him 3500 and a small order of french fries,the problem with a built motor is that they didnt build it not to beat it up on it so its probably been ragged

-If he just installed those parts last month, it's definely worth it, considering it's a fresh rebuild, and is E-managed.

e-manage ULTIMATE is more customizable.. but a regular emanage blue is common for KA-T builds.. a good speed shop, and an emanage is really all you need for tuning. maybe one or two small things, but it's the best "all-in-one" that i know of for the price.

Delta V Motorsports doesn't know how to tune. I bought it from the guy, and he was like "all you need to do is get it tuned, I never got a chance to get it tuned" so I take it to Delta V Motorsports, and they say they can tune. I get it back, he was like "it was already perfectly tuned, it didn't need anything" and then he charged me $90 to street tune it, which he actually did nothing. I would tune it myself, but idk how.
