I thought about this kit ways back but it did not deliver the amount of power I was aiming for. Nice to see it actually come to market though.

the thing is you have to go custom exhaust set-up.
you actually keep your stock y pipe and mid pipe. the turbo is put in the place of where the factory muffler would be. it actually deletes the muffler.

they use a small enough turbo to get the spool. some people have hit full boost between 3-4k rpms

the tuner kit doesn't come with the intercooler but the full kit does.

Once we sort out the first kit, we will be taking on as many jobs as we can if we are happy with the product quality and power output.

Stay tuned because I will start a new thread that will include every step of the install and pictures. We can't wait.

The car is running strong! It sounds great and will be on the dyno tomorrow. See the other thread in the forced induction section for pictures and dyno graphs. Boost is where it's at!! Get some!
