Been looking at switching from the w1 to the gtx2860r. But haven’t seen much posted about it anywhere on this site. It’s been a while now, who’s running it and what’s your opinions?

Yea it’s strange not to see more posts about it with it being such a big turbo option for our cars.
I also run the W1, but was thinking I’d hold out until the W2 Because I don’t want to switch non-prl mods to prl.
Hoping you find some luck with this though!

Do you not look at all the prl big turbo that DRob has tuned? https://www.instagram.com/drobimw/
Also all the 10th gen civic facebook groups have more information than here.

I think he’s referring to more personal experiences with it, not just dyno charts. But I could be wrong.
personal experience from everyone I see have one is they love it lol. More power and real turbo spool noises over an intake induction noise lol. Better for the engine too since torque is shifted to the right.

I can't speak for PRL but when the non-GESI catalytic converters were phased out it seems they decided to not redesign this kit with a GESI converter and are instead focusing their efforts towards a drop in turbo upgrade for this platform.

Hi Folks!

Two Step Performance is absolutely right! We are going to be exploring a drop in option for a few platforms over the next couple of months. Stay tuned for updates!

I hope you still got some coupler parts left over from the kits in case current users damage theirs.

Any and all input is welcome!

I am a bit confused on one little thing. I bought this kit used and all the info I see on Youtube is from V1. I have the EWG and need some clarification.

The pressure lines that sit on the left side of the car, with the arrow, are useless if you are not using the V1 with the manual WG, correct?
Do I just cap the one off?

You don't use one of the hardlines. I only use one on mine
