The only complaint ive seen... One of the local guys here had the o-ring on the Visconti Flex kit fail. It dumped a 1/4 tank in a matter of minutes. There's been a few ppl its happened to, so just keep an eye on the fuel line.

Other than that the performance on 93 is great, but going to e50/flex is outstanding. As far a tuning my preference is Mikey Botti. Either you can email him or purchase the package from @EastCoastSupra he does offer the OTS maps and Flex fuel package.

The only ones Ive seen / heard of fail was by improper installation. Your wording makes it sound like the kit failed, which is far from the case.

Hey Guys ....

Yea, we dont get on the forums too often.

Per my reply above, we havent had an o-ring fail. We have however seen people do improper installations that caused something to pop off. Seen guys put the fuel line on backwards, etc.

The gentleman above with the fuel line ... as soon as he send us a picture of it, the fuel line had been rubbing against something and wore a pinhole in the fuel line because it was routed incorrectly.

If anyone has any questions, youre welcome to email or contact me at [email protected]

We're the largest MKV tuner in the world for a reason. Everyone uses our flex fuel kits for a reason. We didnt just enter the market / fuel systems. We made the first flex fuel kit for any car ever over 10 years ago and have been doing full fuel systems since.

Give me a shout if yall ever need anything or have any questions and ill be happy to help.

- Marshall

Absolutely - I don’t want to be a bother for a problem I’m not personally experiencing. Just curious what others resolutions have been. I’ve got a upcoming road trip so reliability is on my mind.


This was my issue, emailed viscounti and they sent a replacement hose free of charge. I'm pretty sure it wasn't the hose issue, I'm aiming more towards the wiring since the hose was touching a cable that couldve burned it little by little.

Never said it was a defect, just passing along the experience of other guys in the Florida supra group. It was mentioned that it was resolved and the part was overnighted, but I know of two guys in our group personally that had the same issue.

It was the way it was perceived. We're not about "fixing" issue for free of charge for customers. Anyone can do that. Its the fact there should never be a problem in the first place, especially with fueling components.

Which is why we ensure perfection before selling something and putting it to market. Although, we can not stop improper installation.
