What is the price on the turbo kit and the labor for install? Impact on MPG? Is it adjustable? Multiple settings so your not running 20lbs of boost all the time. Thoughts on the results with an AT, durability?

$5500 for the kit and $1000 for the install. All of your questions are all answered by your right foot . We can change the max boost though if you want.

Ive yet to see one with the auto trans so time will tell?

Excellent work and in short order.
I would like to see something that will allow adjustable pressure. Of course this would mean a selectable tune. I have seen this done with other cars and it would be great to see it here.
1. to maintain fuel economy
2. ease wear and tear on the stock engine and my AT trans
3. allow maximum performance when desired
This is my main transportation and toy and I am enjoying the 28.5 mpg over the 22 in my previous car. I also put a lot of miles on a car so wear is important.

PS before I get a bunch of why the AT or go MT. I drive a lot and get caught in NJ/NY traffic a daily driver MT is a pain in the ***. My last car was a 6MT, fun but not practical.

Mods are coming soon. Just gonna take a bit.

I'm thinking that the first thing I'll be doing is hitting you up for a flash. I'll be adding bolt-ons after but I'm loving the reviews on your work.


Edit: I guess a baseline dyno would actually be a great idea so count me in. I'd LOVE to hear Jidonsu's SRT exhaust. That thing looks and sounds excellent from what I've seen so far.
Should add me to that there list. Lookin forward to this.

Some idiot in an 18 wheeler hit me the other day. If I'm lucky I'll have the car back by this. I'll come regardless.

Doesn't look like I'm going to make it. My racecar is unexpectedly going to be ready to race the NARRC runoffs this weekend, so I can't pass up pretty much the last race of the season.

I'm going to try to make it up, but I may be called out of town at the last minute. I've got the SRT headerback with the smaller resonator (for now) in case anyone wants to hear it.

Are you guys planning any other FRS/BRZ dyno days in the coming months?
