Anybody running the NX2 drop-in turbo? Thoughts? Impressions? Who tuned it for you?

did you give Adam Brunson of tune + a call on yer phone ? He has been working with these for 4 years now .But I would still like to read a review from someone who has used it for a while. There is not a lot of information around
Yes there are used NX2s for sale. In my experience, most of the used ones for sale are because someone is returning their car to stock to trade it in at the dealer.I still need to read a review from someone who has been using it for a while. Adam has tuned my car and I also bought the transmission tune from him. I trust him 100% with my car, but still, I need to read some reviews on this turbo.
Bigger turbo will always mean slower spool. Itβs just physics. That was one of my concerns as well. There is a slight difference in low end, but itβs not horrible in my opinion. Unlike the stock turbo, when the NX2 starts to spool it comes on strong.Donβt have any experience with Vargas but suspect the low end response is similar.I appreciate the review @17Stallion. Although your tuning process is not complete yet, I have one question. A friend of mine installed the Vargas 2 (regardless of the recent negative publicity, it's pretty similar to the PTE NX2) and I noticed that, althought the car pulls like a GT in the upper RPM range, it's not as responsive as it used to be at lower RPMs. Have you noticed the same thing with the PTE?
I like the fact that the car pulls hard in the upper RPM range, but I really enjoy low-end torque and I don't want to lose that.
By the way, who is tuning your car? Adam?
Yes tuned by Adam on 93. My understanding is it will make 350-360 HP. I realize all of my comments have been subjective, but its still being tuned so no dyno/time info. Actually just got the latest revision and loading it now.Also @17Stallion are you on 93 fuel? Where I live I do not have access to alt fuel, so I use premium gas, which is 100 Ron (better than 93 oct found in the US). What hp and Tq do you expect to reach with the NX2?
FWIWDo you mind posting some comments after you flash the latest tune and you take it for a ride?
