I think some people reported that auto-blip was not working, for example.

The air box is different and so the Cosworth air filter no longer fits the later models. Plus you have to use an adapter hose on the intake to get it to seal... All for a measly 5 factory horsepower... So rather than redesign the supercharger system (which was low selling) they canceled it. At least this is my understanding.

Stage 3 was going to require an engine rebuild with forged components. Too expensive to make it viable.
I guess the only comprehensive and complete end-to-end solution is from HKS...
I'm switching my Cosworth SC dream to a full HKS build.
GTIII-RS Turbo + low compression 2.1l stroker kit with forged internals...
