Borla header - $550 Amazon ($600 elsewhere) Tsudo catted FP - $170 (now $200) Visconti stg2 tune & license - $575 My intent was not to compare my few upgrades to the ESC but rather to contest the far too often repeated nonsense that "$1500 worth of upgrades gets you nothing but the $1600 super-duper ESC is a million-jillion times better than any other FI solution!" |

I've actually been considering buying one of these instead of a Innovate SC but I still get sick of all the fan boy BS that you and the other cheer leaders keep spewing. All I ask is that you stick to the facts. A tune is a tune so quit implying that the ESC tune is so much less. No FI kit needs fuel system mods to make this power level so don't imply that other kits do. Please stop exaggerating ESC performance by only comparing it to the worst known dyno results for other FI kits. IMO Rob's ESC is impressive enough without all the fan boy embellishment. Carry on... |

And let me state, *for some people*, this system is VASTLY BETTER than other FI kits. There.. I said it here. - for the person who wants minimal impact to the car - wants a moderate increase in pep, doesn't need huge power, but loves a nice full torque curve - wants to easily install/uninstall/re-install over a weekend (because I don't want to get my butt kicked in Street Mod) No other system, not even the 'easy to install' Innovate SC can do this. Is it better for power than any of the turbo kits out there? Not even close. Does it produce more power and all the cool sounds than the base Innovate Kit makes? Probably not. But it does make for some impressive results, and it's exciting for a lot of people that it's achieving those results in a very different means (electric motor driven centrifugal compressor). Science, yo. |

clutch $580 then i called around and got some install prices and best price for turbo and clutch install was $1500. $7500 total not to mention the headaches a turbo can cause, and eat away your wallet if things dont go as planed. Even if this supercharger is priced at $2000 thats 5500 i save. Granted some turbos are less money but with a turbo you never know what your getting your self into. |

Now you've done it. We'll never convince the horsepower whores on this. To them it's just about the big number. To each their own...good for them. And good for us that Rob has crafted a system that works for us. It's a big play ground.
