Man I read all that too. I wouldn't touch either of their 1.9L products for a long time. On the other hand, Scrivner Engineering has a good vibe going and I'm hopeful for an alt to DASC.

It doesn't need park distance control, and hates decadence. It is musclepacked, yet lightly wound. It lets you feel the asphalt and get you going with the smallest touch of the pedal. It provokes, seduces, and demands to be driven hard. It looks, sounds, and smells like performance.

The DASC seems complicated to install. My main concerns are:

1. Quality design, (DASC) has that.
2. Good price (DASC) ain't cheap.
3. Reliability, (DASC) has that.
4. A systen I can install with confidence, (DASC) maybe.

True, I did jump on the KO system, but I won't make that mistake again. And like alot of poeple are saying, stay away from KO, and ANYONE who was even remotely involved with them.

So I'm gonna sit back, and see what happens. This new twin screw design SEAM is developing sounds very promising. Atleast he is completing the system, before making any outragous claims.

Default Pictures back form 318ti install

I got these pictures back from one of our customers who just finished installing our stage 3 kit on his 318ti. He is in Kansas if any of you are local.

That looks good. That is Tu Quach's car isn't it. If so that is my old TI, I kinda recognize a few scrapes on the oil filter cap and some of the markings on the valve cover, partly the discoloration from applying Mother's aluminum polish on it while it was still hot, oops.

If that is Tu's car then I know for a fact that he has no ties to Midnight Auto Works, so his oppinions would really be helpful on this site.

Looks like he forgot to hook some stuff up. What happens to all the plugs that are laying in the engine bay unhooked (just look for green tape)? CEL? Why isn't the diagnostic port in place?

also hope he grabbed the knife before driving away. Where is the water injection? what about the air filter?

I count at least 3 wires and 2 hoses that aren't plugged in.

From the pics I doubt that he was completely done with the install.

Tu Quach, thats the guys name, He has his car at the paint shop getting his M-tech bumper painted and when he gets it back he said he would snap a few more of it complete , he said his camera battery died towards the end of the night. If any of you know him, invite him to join and post.
