A 2.0T Engine Rebuild with ZZP forged Pistons

I was on youtube watching a couple of videos when I encountered a video posted by the Youtuber "The Coolest Courier" I'm not really sure if he's on the forums, he seems to have an engine malfunction and he will apparently document how to install the ZZP forged pistons for a start,It should be very interesting for us 2.0t owners as he aims to reach 500 RWHP.

He will document the whole process on his next videos hopefully.

I genuinely feel bad for people that have tossed their engines thanks to bad tunes. Tuning the LTG is NOT like tuning an old port injected 350.

I'm of the same opinion i feel for people that get crappy tunes. I'm not trying to say it was all RPMs fault in fact I've had a few arguements with their customers and diehard fans on here. But everything as of late coming out about or related to RPM hasn't been good. I saw his numbers when he made his video post tune they looked really good tjen i tuned mine and saw a few others and thought did he have a freak car? Now I'm thinking they overtuned his car not knowing what would happen to the stock parts.

Exactly! Basically, they were doing R&D on the customers cars. They had ZERO idea how to tune LTG engines. They gleaned enough information from here, Cadillac Forum, and HP Tuners forum to 'create' (using that term quite liberally, because I truly believe they just stole others intellectual property) their tune. They openly stole Jason@JacFab's throttle body idea. Their parts look like complete bootyhole. Why do people continue doing business with these no talent assclowns?

Thanks Steve. You and your crew have been simply amazing! We truly appreciate all the info and look forward to getting all those goodies yall make for the LTG..
... I am not sure people realize we have been providing a day by day progress report via our social media. Instagram, snap chat, face book, and twitter has daily content so anyone can follow along with our build.
... Once we get to filming your Beastly cam kit we will do the same. Thank you again for everything!

I have seen so many of the cookie cutter tunes cause problems. I did alot of research and spent the extra money on a dynojet tune. Definitely, if you find a good tuner near you, then you should check them out. I am a little new to upgrading cars but i started on my 2019 and each time you do something. You want something new. It's like getting one tattoo. You just can't!!! I have CAI, catless downpipe, exhaust with Magna FLow glass packs and a dynojet tune. Next im putting the intercooler upgrade then forged internals. Then from there who knows?
