Hey Guys

I have done alot of searching but i wanted to get some peoples recent opinions on the Works TR 340 Package

Now i know it might not be the best bang for your buck but lets keep price out of the argument.

How do you like the package?

Anyone have any problems with it?

Do you think Works does a good quality job

The 269 Power cams are they worth it and for having the stock turbo are these the right cams?


Any more info on it would be great

Thanks
Ian

I have the 340 package on my car. IX MR.. Its nice if you daily drive your car. Which I do. The idle with the cams is not to rough. I love the exhaust its a bit loud but sounds great and looks really great... I have had no issues with the package. I did not buy it The prior owner did. I do not know the type of work they do but I would assume they do good work..

My only gripe right now about it is the tune is really conservative. They really pull back timing so the tune is my issue. I am going to throw a MBC on and do my own tune on it. see if I can squeeze another 40-50 whp out of it. I have not dyno'd the car as is but i bet I will be shy of 300 atw..

Over all I am pleased with the parts. Now its time to fine tune it...

Works is a fantastic evo shop...their products are very high quality and troy is easy to deal with. i have always found their products a bit overpriced but i know that a lot of r&d goes into whatever they make/sell. you could most likely achieve equal reliability and quality by piecing together a similar setup, however it is a convenience to buy as a package...especially from a reputable shop such as Works. if u dont mind spending a little extra $ i say go for it. it seems Works goes for a more subtle approach to performance...quieter exhausts, milder cams, but great performance gains nontheless

I don't have the TR340 BUT I have the P2 Flash. Pete, the owner of Works, did the dyno tune himself. I was very impressed with his work. He really took his time making sure that the tune was perfect for him. Only thing I can say is WOW! I'd recommend Works anytime!!!

The TR packages are a bit of a disapointment. Much better to put basic boltons in and get a good tune. More bang for your buck.

Works has very good hard parts (exhausts, suspension bits, etc.), but I've heard too many horror stories about the tunes (wonky boost and fuel profiles). I've never had their tune personally, but I've seen the results from others' dyno runs and it wasn't pretty.

Can't speak for the TR340 kit specifically, but all the WORKS parts I have are beyond quality and they have gone WAY out of their way to help me on a number of occasions.

OP: Since you're in MI, see if WORKS can put you in contact with Jamie. He's a WORKS employee in the Columbus, OH area and can probably handle the flash for you if you're not comfortable with the whole mail-in thing.

It's a good DD package. I have it and I enjoyed it.

i got their turboback. it's a nice piece but they had to make the midpdipe and the muffler and i had to wait a month for it. the downpipe is ****, no rubbing at all. and coated. the midpipe and muffler however, let's just say i was dissapointed with the finish. the tone is deep, and not much louder than stock, but man. they could have cleaned up the welds a little better. other than that, i have been pleased with the piece so far. i'm gonna shop around for the tune cause they want close to $800 bucks for a dyno tune. good luck!

I don't have any of the logs or anything...but I have seen Works tuned cars being "fixed" by a local tuner. The baseline runs would show AFR and boost curves that looked like Richter Scale printouts.

There is definitely a lot of safety built into their tunes...according to several tuners too much. But, their P2 Flash is off the shelf (for those not close enough for a custom tune) and they have to protect themselves.
