Tuning will be something that we will be discussing in the coming weeks. The program has been written for a base map off of an undisclosable (I know this isn't a word) vehicle. It is not a Subaru of any kind, so this is an experiment for us. Should increase gas mileage.

As far as an oil cooler; we will supply the oil lines and either the fitting for the pan or a pre built pan for extra. Oil cooler would be an upgradable option as well.

And as far as your ambient air temp question; we have something in the works for that as well. Something that has never been done. *insert Dr Evil laugh here*

I am checking with everyone on the campaign to see what we can disclose to get early opinions.

Well, i think yall are heading in the right direction so far. Post us a link to yall's website and we can check it out. Whoever is posting is doing a good job at taking suggestions so far lol. Just keep it for the interest of the consumer. If you keep up with everyone and post prototypes and results via dyno results, then trust will be established with good time. Thank you for the interest in what "we" want.

Thank you Upstwins. We are working on our personal website now. I run 2 other businesses and we are also building cars for SEMA.
We are also making a blog and website for this campaign. With so many companies and people involved we felt it would be unfair to put it on our website alone. So we will be making a website that is only about the technology and kit itself.

I'm in Lacey, Wa If you need a "test" vehicle,

TheChopShop · 09-01-2012, 01:28 PM

We have one developer who has a BRZ and wants a Subie sound to it. Ala-STi as he puts it. Then we have others that are more for a new sound. And one who has to be different and push for a Supra style sound. What do you think?

Btw- our price max right now is 5k.

What color do you have? Any upgrades yet?

Seems like we have a lot of turbo kits hitting the market now. It's going hard to compete with AVOs

Our vision is to make a kit complete for this car. Something that has never been done before. The turbo design is new, and so is the intake design. We don't want to compete, just give another option. I have been building cars and engines for 14 years, I am very excited about the ideas that are being formed and the off the wall ideas that are being explored.

I agree with keeping the the psi low, quality build and very reasonable price. All I ever asked from this car is a little more power. Don't want 300 hp like some of these others tb, not for me. I'm not into having to upgrad every damn thing and spending so much money I find myself in the GTR range. Bottom line; (for me anyway) keep it simple.

I apologize for how that is worded. I was not saying the other kits were incomplete. I was saying we are designing everything specifically for this car. The turbo is being designed for this engine and to keep the integrity of the car complete.
We have looked to other companies who have already made kits for inspiration.

Something that utilizes a cheap and commonplace turbo like a T25 or T28. And a sidemount intercooler. Cheap and perfect for an extra 50-60whp.
