Yes, I guess if you have experience with tuners emailing you maps and things but I wouldn't chance it. Just my .02 cents. There's a lot of things a tuner could potentially pick up while on the dyno including unforeseen issues that you may not be aware of.

I don't think anybody on here has a "email tune"??? Too many factors for correct tune. My tuner spent 3/4 of a day tuning my NSX.
Indeed. That implies that there is a standard off the shelf tune for these kits that is close to perfect, which just doesn't exist. The market is way too small and there are too many variables.
Spend the money on a tune or spend 12x that much on a new engine. If money for a tune is too much he really shouldn't be trying to play the turbo NSX game.
I got lucky, Cody was in town and tuned my EMS. I'm not sure where I would've taken it otherwise.

Boys. Calm down on my email tune question. I had my boosted 400hp RSX-S tuned on email tune. I also had a very good d series tuner right beside me during the whole tune. So I know I was safe.
When these kits are back in stock, I'm a buyer.
Wil builds the kit on request.
Standing by buddy!
Thanks, if you would like to order one - feel free to call or message me anytime and I can help you out.
I agree with ysoskow. I've no problems with my kit I've had it for three years I've just been too lazy/busy and finally got around to installing it earlier this year. Now I finally like driving this car it's a blast on the street. It performs perfect for a street car. I have the 67mm that originally came with the kit IMO it's a great match for this engine. I've changed a few things and out my own "flair" to the kit. Here are a few pics. My friend Ben Freed @ FREED engineering here in Maryland is a great fabricator. We dropped the oil pan welded a bung in for the scavenge pump. Also made a side ram intake to run to the passenger side Door Scoop. Also remade the upper intake pipe out of aluminum along with welding a Vibrant vanjen clamp on the upper charge pipe and TB just to share a few.
Thanks again for good customer service all around.

This is a winter thing for me, January or February. I'm sure Wil might have some time in rainy/snowy Vancouver to put together an install for a local NSX'r.
Doooo it!
I am! C'mon Cozmo you are the one who sold me on the kit! Your a great marketing agent for Wil! He should get you some business cards.
If you can sell enough promises of carbon fiber parts you just might own it soon.
I'm almost done with the installation of the kit. The only thing left to do is the BOV valve and my wideband gauge. Will was awesome with the phone call. I basically installed the kit with no instructions. I only had to cal him about the oil pump and he answered it right away. Awesome guy to deal with. My question for anyone that dis the installation yourself is... how the hell do you get that snap ring to lock in the bov in? I bought the tool for it and I still cant do it. Also my headers are 91 and buying 95+was and changing them out was not an option for me. I just fabricate will's kit to work. Ill post pictures once im done.
Hey Angus, how many cells were the high flow cats you used to make that custom dual canister exhaust?
Are 100 cell cats enough to stop soot from forming on the exhaust tips? What do you think about using dual cats instead of a muffler?
It'll significantly reduce it at the very least. If you were to do a dual canister setup and use the cats in place of the mufflers, I don't see why it wouldn't work.
What do you think in terms of flow- Is 100, 200, 300 too restrictive for your kit? Will it increase back pressure significantly to the point of power loss or other detriment?
