Pm Fenton or Robftss. They handle production and distribution. However this is not their main job, so it takes up to a year to get a kit now, due to demand.

I forgot about that. Good point. So it would give you "some boost" until you could switch over to "full boost". Hmm.

speaking of the devil, any updated list will be very appriciated, I sent my order request on september 2014, almost 9 months have passed.
a lot of times i have seen the request, but only few times an answer

An ordered list will be the best.. at least everyone is going to get an idea of the remaining wait time ahead of him/her.
Someone has to have something like that i presume...
please?

Rob doesn't like to send out ordered lists. People start complaining, trying to buy people's spots in line, etc.

Best hope to get one sooner is to buy one used. My friend did that.

well I can sell mine for an outrageous price


right now I think the complaints are even worse, if i knew I have 5 people (or 25) ahead of me I will behave accordingly.

Funny thing, demand was super high when I got mine used. After all the people complaining about the wait, I got the kit like a week after the sale thread went up, and not even for the sellers full asking price.

Bottom line, everybody likes to speak like they'd buy one right now, but when it comes time to pony up...

But it was worth every penny

Installed a flex fuel kit, had ecutek reflashed accordingly.

ESC boost + e85 = Wheeeeeeeeee!

^ this makes me want it even more

So... any update on when the next batch is coming in? Seems like its been a few months...

It would indeed be nice if this thread could be updated every time a batch goes out. Since there are good reasons not to post an updated waiting list, could we instead do something like: last time a batch of kits went out, expected time frame for next batch, etc. This would give us a way to track progress and adjust our expectations as things play out. What do you think @fenton?

I can do something like that. A batch hasn't went out for a while now as there was another shortage of parts. Plus i think Rob is waiting to see how Shiv's procede controller is working out, first people had some issues so that needs to be ironed out first.

I will update here once the next batch is ready to ship.

Those of you with the procede controller, would you recommend using the included taps or soldering the wires together? I feel like soldering is better, but I don't have much experience doing it.

My recommendation:

If you can solder do it.

If you can't or don't trust your skills... Use the tap.
You can make things worse if you screw up soldering.

The other wire will read ~5v.

When the switch is ON (throttle pressed):
They will both read ~5v.

Cut/desolder the wire that carries the switching signal (i.e., reads 0v with switch OFF). Tap/solder this wire on to the black wire on the Procede harness. That's it. Everything else (12v, GND, Throttle and Crank sensor wiring) is the same as what we did on your car.

I only see one wire going into the wot switch. Am I looking at the wrong switch?

He's talking about tapping the wires going into the controller in the engine bay. Someone else tapped the switch wire. Not sure who.
