New Turbo Kit Sneak Peek(Ptuning)

We're working on a simple replacement passenger-side brace and will release it shortly. I don't want to come off the wrong way, so please don't take it that way. I honestly don't think anyone will be able to tell, in a true blind test, as to whether the diagonal bars are in place or not.

Either way though, we said we would develop a replacement bar, since there was one in place from the factory.

BTW, for those that may have already viewed the first video, we've since removed YouTube's recommended "image stabilization" setting. The original video is 100x better.

Also, brownie points for the first person that can point out our poor man's g-force meter on the in-car video.

Hahaha hope they weren't too expensive

Good to hear.

What in your opinion would be a realistic expectation "range" for hp+tq from this kit at 3000feet above sea level and 91 pump gas? I'm not holding you to it just a range? I'm carefully thinking my choices through for my purchase for my FI application. The numbers posted down there I know will not be attainable here given elevation and no e85 etc...

Nah, thankfully these were the cheap ones. I keep the good ones in a case.

We're hoping to see within 10-15whp of our 93 pump gas tune with 91 octane, but this would of course be with the base 6psi spring in place. Not too sure yet on the elevation change though.

We have a local 91 octane pump near our facility, so we'll look into developing a 91 base map too.

We don't plan on running a much richer AFR with 91 octane, so it'll come down to the timing that the 91 can accept that will determine the final power output. WMI will play a huge role in making big power numbers for those that don't have access to E85 or 93 pump gas, but want more power later on down the road.

This. Waiting on 91 octane graph. They said they would get around to it eventually.

You got it.

We apologize for skipping over your question, but this was definitely not intentional.

As a company, we never bite off more than we can chew, nor do we like to rush a turbo system to market or make compromises in our design just to fit multiple applications. Our focus right now is fulfilling all of our pre-orders for our manual transmission turbo systems first before starting a new project. From the general inquiries we've received thus far, it is very likely that we'll tackle the automatic transmission version though.

We knew from the get go that our current set-up had no chance of fitting on the automatics, but again we did not want to make compromises in our design to allow it to fit both model types.

We'll need to get an automatic model on the lift for a few days to determine whether we want to go forth with the project. If we do, we're expecting to develop an application-specific secondary overpipe, downpipe, and lower intake pipe. The rest of the components you see under the hood (i.e. intercooler pipes, intake pipe and shroud, etc. will be the same as our current system.

Give us another month or so and we should know by then whether we'll green light the automatic version or not.

Appreciate it, and I completely agree with not compromising the turbo kit to fit both MT and AT. I plan to get a turbo kit this summer so I hope things work out! I would love to give you my car for development but I'm 2,500 miles away Cheers

LOL. NP, we have two local customers that have already offered up their car for development.
