LOL, I thought you picked one up already after you sold your S.

This is probably my favorite kit so far. Not an insane amount of power, but from the dyno charts, looks like it has great drive-ability, time to start saving some pennies.

Not insane....YET. Remember it's using a 3076R which is capable of 500+.

Definitely my favorite kit as well. Still at least a year or so out for me before I look at FI (still holding out hope for the BRZ STi) but this looks great. The spool you are getting on the 3076R is pretty amazing, can't imagine running twice the boost.

Looked at this a few times now. Except for the elimination of strut bars and OE firewall bars, I would have considered this, but those are items I desire for trackability. too bad. I like it otherwise. if you guys change that plumbing setup, it may be neat to see an optional setup for those wanting to retain a triangulated front end support structure. I like a stiffend chassis, thats all.

They said they will be developing a passenger side bar to fit the kit.

Any chance of doing some 91 Octane tuning? Please?

Kit looks phenomenal as do the numbers!!

You're definitely not alone. We too prefer road courses over the drag strip. We're developing a, beefier than factory, passenger-side tie-bar that we'll include with our turbo system.

In addition, we'll be developing a strut tie-bar as well. However, we're pretty sure there are bars already on the market that will fit with our set-up. The clearance from our intercooler pipe to the underside of the hood is much larger than you would imagine.

Also, with our focus on trackability, we'll eventually be putting our turbo system through the ringer at either VIR or Summit Point Raceway in the next few months.

Our tC and S2000 turbo systems are the few systems on the market that have proven to hold up during hard track sessions without any issues. Our FR-S/BRZ, tC, and S2000 turbo systems all have one thing in common...the all utilize low-mount turbos that help to keep the weight low and radiant heat under control.

Thanks, we'll eventually get to dyno tuning on 91 octane. We'll develop it into a base map down the road too. There are 1-2 gas stations in our vicinity that offer 91 octane fuel so that should not be a problem.

Before we do that though, we'll be testing our prototype 4-1 header with 93 octane, then 93 with WMI, and if time permits, we may even do an E85 tune. Just need to convince someone to make that 1-hour round trip to buy the corn juice.

Sounds great, got a pic of the bar? can that vacuum distribution box and oil thing be moved or mounted above the bars?

[Syldrin]

Ptuning following its typical rout of progress. low mounting to not mess with CoG. quality components. taking the time to deliver quality products. as a proud owner of ptuning products on my tc1 if i pick up an FR-S i'd continue to support a great company. looks great guys.

We do not have any pics of the bar yet. The oil/vacuum distribution block will actually be available only as a separate item and will not be included in the turbo system.

Thanks for the kind words. This turbo system will definitely offer the same level of refinement and detail as our tC and S2K systems.
