I'll let ya know
**Currently there are 2 intakes from TRE, one with MAF in and the other w/ No MAF (relacated to I/C pipe) I'lll be running the CAI for the relocated MAF.. Mandatory Tune for both intakes
You mean charge you $275 and not even adjust for the opel injectors so your LTFT is -16% LOL. If you saw how easy it is to compensate for the opel injectors you would laugh. Some other things like good MAF tuning and good WG tuning take time and an expert hand.

Just Kidding.
I am sorry but he could not possibly be that busy that it takes him that long to get back to people.
Before you go out and waste all your money on useless mods ( like I have done in the past on multiple cars I owned lol)......take your time and make good first decisions. You will save a ton over running out and buying a bunch of crap that doesn't work...For example I plan on buying HP tuners myself. For the price of having someone else do it for you and the price of useless mods you could own it yourself and go through the learning process of using it.

Yes Treadstone **** sucks.
Their parts were never really tested with our cars.
The intake does NOT fit 100%. it requires a lot of cussing and positioning. Thats why I cut it off and made an SRI out of it.

And Just Like that TRE is off my to Buy list.. hell I guess that norrows down my exhaust Choice to Turbo XS as well... Now to Find a new I/C and Matching Pipe.... Call me Wired but its gotta match my head Geeks out at the idea of a Turbo XS i/C ZZP lower, InJEN UPPER, and Hahn intake..... NO Just NO! gotta match (call it OCD if you wanna) so any ideas, Ima do some more reading but would appriciate your input as well...all of you

DO NOT DO HAHN!!! I have hahn IC, IC pipes, intake, DP and exhaust. All the pipes are rusting IC plus intake and my intercooler split on a weld cracked on a bend and is leaking from another weld BUT I thing their exhaust is great I would 100% recommend it but it's not too loud but it's what I wanted. I am replacing all my hahn stuff other than the exhaust I have a ZZP intercooler and I'm ordering a new coldpipe this week from ZZP
Yeah OP, dont buy hahn either. I had a Hahn CAI and it started rusting to ****.
Trifecta is bad for 1:Wait times on re-tuning 2: Conservative tuning 3: Buy that damn red cable for $100.
But has positives aswell...
Cheaper than competition
Easy to install
Select-A-Tune
Read/Diagnose/Disable codes
The wait times through BNR were reasonable. Took me two weeks to get a revised ECP tune through BNR.
If you contact Steven @ WOT-TUNING(Trifectas newish site) he will speed up the process for you(vince's right hand man?)
I might still go HPT in the future. But Trifecta has served me decently.
I don't think Stephen tuned your car. Vince(master tuner) does them all I think.

Either way his tune was a complete piece of crap. Fuel trims were horrible like -16 LTFT and -25% total fuel trim and the car was extremely slow for a ZFR car like no faster than a stock turbo. Not cheaper though when he hits people up for $275 for a fuel mass tweak for the opel injectors and other little easy changes.
I was like Vince takes a while to get back to folks, he was like no he dont Im talking to him right now. He showed me his phone And sure nuff he was.
