I'm about to blow some extra air into my 6 and eventually I have decided (through lack of available options) to build up my own kit from scratch.

I would have liked to have gone down the road of using the HiBoost turbo kit but as I was not able to contact HiBoost or TBK Performance.

This is a Japanese spec RHD using 5sp ATX. Target is 230 WHP.

A question for the gurus....I plan to use a Haltech EMS but i'm torn between the E6X and the F10X. Does anyone have experience in using either / or both of the EMS before on a boosted M6? Comments please!!

Will let you know any stumbling blocks along the way and hopefully we can all learn from my personal trial and error.

Any final words of wisdom before I turn my car over to the tuning shop? Your feedback is welcome.

Hey guys, my G-Reddy kit is in and going for the installation tomorrow and then to the workshop which will install the Haltech E6X and complete the tune & dyno.

The finishing on the Trust / G-Reddy kit is outstanding, exactly what you would expect out of Japan.

Sounds really great! I wish I could see that done to a V6 6. That's what I thought it was at first, then I read 230 whp and thought that was really conservative. Cant wait to hear how the kit and other mods work out. Keep us posted.

Got it done yesterday and here is the dyno.

Torque comes on real quick as does the spool up but the max power is a little off at the moment. This should be due to the stock exhaust and cats still being in place. The 2.5" Magnaflow should be arriving within the next week or so then will dyno again after the install.

I'm only running 6psi due to the higher compression ratio on my JDM which is 10.6:1

Magnaflow (16609) is now on with high flow cats and here is the new dyno. There was some issues fitting the pipe but the guys at the workshop managed to make it happen.

Will not get the chance to drive her until the end of this month as I'm away on business at the moment. Will get some pics and comments up on the forum and clips on YouTube as soon as time allows.
