No the emanage is fine. The reason why I was leaking coolant was because my thermostat was stuck open. I drove the car around untuned for the longest of time and when I did get a tune thats when my engine was leaking coolant. I can probably get a hold of the map and post it. I honestly believe there is a connection problem. I had a local shop redo the wiring for me because I was running into the same problems. The car ran great. There isnt a problem with the kit. Its taking the time spending a little bit of money getting a proper shop to tune it and figure out the wiring problem. Plus I decided to get rid of the kit because I wasnt making enough power, I was disapointed with the t-25. Max power I was putting down on stock boost of 5 psi was 159whp. Pushing 11 p.s.i I was just hitting 180 whp. Plus the wastegate could not handle that kind of boost. NoSpleen you have to have patients with this.

NoSpleeny is an unknown quantity at this point
I have patients... believe me. I'm not upset or anything. I've tried every combination of wires.

Now that you've posted this, you should let me know truthfully.... what were you pushing to get 180 whp. Because when you sold me the kit, you told me that you were pushing 8 psi to get 180 whp.
