How about real info? It uses the Sprintex S5-210.... For those who dont know it can handle up to 300 HP, they have a smaller unit that holds only 200.

Even if that's whp it's kinda not enough for the price because that's going to take smaller pulley and a good tune.

$4600 is cheaper than any of the other turbo or S/C kits on the market, and if that can make 300hp...even at the crank, it's still a better hp/$ than anything other than a big turbo kit built for peak boost (ala dyno queen status).

Besides, twin screws aren't generally designed for peak power or torque, they're for a broad, continuous torque and power boost with nearly instant boost and throttle response.

wrong look at FBM

this kit isn't worth any money IMO. Right nwo it makes less than an axleback exhaust, sicne it adds weight and evidently doesn't make any power, sicne there's no dyno sheets

I take this lack of updates to the thread as a bad customer service, what happens if something needs to be covered under warranty? they will say "this is what your replacement part could look like" 6 months later u might get it.

This is why I'd rather go with AVO they have true professional ethics and you know their products are quality. oh yeah and they make power.

Sometimes there's a delay between the hype and the end result. Shit happens.

In this case the shit is a bunch of people speculating.

I feel the same. I am very disappointed because I'd like to stay away from a turbo on this car and was hoping to have two very unique S/C (not considering HKS) options to mull over and decide upon based on performance but it looks like @PERRIN_Jeff and Vortech's attention to the community are going to be worth the difference in price. Though I may go through @Visconti since he is local but he's also actually saying something.

FWIW I think Innovative Motorsports is just a distributor and a partner in testing. I don't think they're manufacturing the kits. If I remember correctly it was an Aussie company. They probably don't have a lot of updates to share. Could they engage with the community more? Sure, but does that yield marginal revenue? I don't know. I'm sure they're busy doing things.

After watching the install video for the Vortech kit, I'm really hoping this thing meets my expectations.

You've been talking for over a month about how you were done waiting for Innovate's kit and were going wih AVO. So why are half of your posts from the last month in this thread? Put your money where your mouth is and buy the AVO kit already. Or as much as you go on about vapor wear are you a vapor customer?

I'm waiting patiently for results, but every time you bump this thread to carry on the inane banter you give me and everyone else false hopes that there's new information or some actual discussion about the product instead of more whining.
