Just looking for some reference points, thanks.
Ive owned the following and will rate accordingly:

1994 Mazda mx-3 1.6L - FRS with ESC is WAYYYYY faster

2004 Mazda Rx-8 manual (170-180whp 3000lbs) - FRS with ESC is much faster, FRS stock was about the same, maybe a little faster.

2009 WRX, Cobb stage 1(~240whp 3250lbs) - Very similar performance when supercharger. Bottom end of FRS is stronger..... midrange and top end is a toss up. VERY similar power to weight

2011 STI Cobb stage 1(~260whp 3400lbs) - Similar performance. STI kicks in harder at 4000 rpm once turbo spools. STi top end is better. Power to weight is similar so first couple of gears also feel similar.

2011 stage 1 STI? That means cat back only right? (no flash?) Even so, that's saying something - even when talking about a 2009 WRX. They're quick.

Stage 1 is tuned for more boost, no exhaust modes except cat back. Both my WRX and STI has same mods. WRX ran 16pis, STI ran 18psi. Both cars were otherwise stock

STI is faster than ESC FRS..... but not by a hell of alot and certainly not off boost.

Three things:

- First production prototype TQ 25024V is in my test vehicle since Jan/13....I need 1 year of use. Empirically tested = warranty.
- Boost limiter de-rate for no tune or pre tune, Fenton tests on Friday.
- Lead time, anyone who knows manufacturing...

Thanks to the recent efforts of Sojhinn and Shiv. An Epic amount of work that people will benefit from.

Designation: TQ = Adds Torque, 250 = max supported HP (flow), 24V = nominal voltage. Sorry for any confusion, no time was spent marketing.

TQ - 40036V ...someday.

We will be properly logged as vendor/manufacturer soon.

Thanks, Rob
