As for slowing the boost hitting...its a bigger turbo than stock so it has lag...therefore it doesn't hit like stock turbo. But you can adjust how the boost ramps in with your tune.

thanks man, hopefully ill be gettin this upgrade soon, how much did it cost for the internal parts you had installed? and the ppc tuner, should i do that when upgrade or does it not matter?

For rods, pistons, bearings, springs/retainers, plugs, headstuds, all new gaskets, timing chain tensioner... it was about 1600 bucks. Give or take a little. I did all the work myself so that saved me money.

And when you say PPC tuner..do you mean the Hahn tuner? If so, i say yes you definitely need to upgrade to either an HP Tune (prefered by me) or a Trifecta tune.

It seems like the LSJ trans is good for up to 400 ft lbs at the very least based on my personal experience with the one I have in mine.

The ZZP is a F35 trans with the 4.45 gearset (from a Saab I believe) and some other internal work done. I think bearing clearances tightened and such. It should be detailed on their website.
