I feel your pain on the wiring. I have been wiring mine for what seems like weeks.

Wiring does seem to take forever. Yes total contrast to my other trucks engine bay.

i always worked with Franz, great dude. TONS of great feedback from everyone who uses them. but they can be slow to reply and respond, gotta have patients. |
I'll look him up. All of the parts, adaptors and tune I use are Canadian which is nice.

This one should work well with the setup I've got together. My Jeeps ALH runs 20psi all the way through this one has a different but bit bigger turbo.

Stock internals are more than enough for even stage 3 which is what I'm thinking I will run. 140whp and 240wtq. I'll have to do injectors tho. I run a stage 2 in my Jeep and it pulls great, not like a 12V tho.
