1. We have not released the 2017 86/BRZ supercharger system to the public. This system is not available on JacksonRacing.com. This system is finishing development. There is no confusion on this and if you call and talk to us here, we will tell you that. There were quite a few little changes to the new models, requiring some JR hardware changes, a new Factory Tuned calibration, and CARB. Kit and CARB updates do not happen overnight, and the products must be tested before going to the public. We have a 2017 86 and 2017 BRZ in our facility for development. Again, we do not have the 2017 kit available, and we will release when final development is complete. We expect that shortly.

2. We showed the 2017 86/BRZ system at 86Fest on a development BRZ, but DID NOT announce availability. At 86Fest we told some of our dealers, in confidence, our hopeful release time frame of the 2017 system, but this was never made official.

3. Our dealers order multiple kits for a whole range of years and transmission types. It sounds like 86Speed gave you our general order update a couple times, not specifically the 2017 model kit development, which again, is not available.

4. Our dealers are not authorized to give discounts on Jackson Racing products. They would have to consult with us. In this case, Chris was consulted, but we do not have an official time frame of release on the new 2017 system. So Chris was not going to be able to fairly give you a firm ship date. Chris offered the T-Shirt as an apology for the misunderstanding, not as the solution. Chris needed to clear up with Oscar Sr. and myself the 2017 release plan. Chris was trying to provide you with proper and accurate information.

If you have any further questions, please give us a call and we can answer them.

Thanks for the post, JR.

This puts the ball in 86Speed's court. Unless they refute this info above, it's purely a customer service issue with them communicating what the customer wants to hear as opposed to the truth.

That sucks, but it happens! Usually not when a platform is so spoiled for choice of components and vendors though.
