The crews at CSG and Delicious Tuning are both still working on NA applications. Understand that engineering is an iterative process that requires time, energy, and money.
If you want to make a comparison, look at the Honda K-series, which has been out since 2001. Tuners and engineers didn't make substantial NA power out of them until the 2010's. And that's in spite of the fact that there was much greater demand because Honda stuck them in all of their most popular models (Civic, RSX/Integra, CR-V, Accord).
Compared to our cars, we're dealing with an engine that's found in literally one vehicle that's sold in very low volume, to a market that doesn't really have deep pockets to begin with. It's going to be a slow-moving process to say the least.
I'm just glad there are tuners out there who are continuing to spend time and money to develop these parts despite the fact that they'll likely never see a big return from their efforts. AND they're being transparent about the process.
