As someone who just wants a kit to bolt on and 'forget' that it is there, how would you say this compares to the FMII ? So far, I've read that is the go to kit that is complete and comes with legendary FM customer service.
Why would i guy like me, give you $6k for a kit without the FM 'pedigree' if you will? Especially when their kit is cheaper in both the hardware only config ( $3k ) vs the $3900 you stated earlier. I WANT to consider your kit over the FM, especially because I am only a couple hours away from you :D and would be willing to lend my car (94') as a test mule if I could get a nice discount :) Sincerely, a fellow 805er Also, if this kit was purchased, and you LATER got a CARB certificate, in theory, would one be able to get the needed parts to go pass the sniffer every 2 years? Its a hassle here in Cali for us with street cars. Also, the stock 220ish that this kit makes... this is totally safe for our stock 1.8s ? Or is this severely reducing engine life? Ive got a healthy 90k miles on my car, and I'd hate to blow that up unnecessarily. Thanks and I look forward to hearing more news about this kit. PM me if you need that mule :D |

We have a lot of respect for FM here, and we consider them the shop to beat in this market, but we wouldn't be producing this kit if we weren't damn sure we could do a better job than they do. Also, if this kit was purchased, and you LATER got a CARB certificate, in theory, would one be able to get the needed parts to go pass the sniffer every 2 years?

Ive got a healthy 90k miles on my car, and I'd hate to blow that up unnecessarily. Of course, the kit is capable of 300whp with nothing more than a new fuel rail and a fuel pump, should you decide to order up one of our Turbo-spec forged bottom ends. ;) |

Who is building the manifolds for your kits? Will they be an equal length design, or low mount axial?
|
Thanks for the response Savington, I look forward to seeing what happens with this.
Id love to support a local guy. |
Sav, what are the exhaust options going to be for the kit? Is a high flow cat going to be an option?

In general, there will be no options available on our kits - what you see in the standard parts list will be what comes in every single box. This reduces shipping delays, eliminates shipping/order errors, and streamlines tech support significantly on our end, and it allows you guys to easily order a kit without fretting over which options you should or shouldn't buy. If it's in the kit, it needs to be there - if it's not there, it doesn't need to be there. Simple and easy. |
I'll be looking for this kit by Fall 2013. Getting the itch for boost again!

Didn't Trackspeed kill off all those people in India last year?

Lock this thread and don't bump it until you are ready to take my money and send me a super sweet turbo kit.
|
Any chance to include your COP setup with this kit? That is, if you still sell them.
|
I'm ready to buy. ; ). Sav, how do you plan on handling future revisions to the kit after the customer has purchased? Thanks!
|
I'm sure we can hook you up with an ebay manifold. :bowrofl:

I've love to see the wiring harness for sale without the coils :P Of course reasonable price.
|
Hey I will hold off my fmII purchase I would like to purchase this all the way from Scotland!!!!!
|
So i read on the first page...
blah blah blah, and i quote "....but the major kit components (downpipe, turbo, intercooler, injectors, etc) will be safe to 300whp" thing is i realize the work in this kit pretty much just started, but what if people (not sayin myself) for what ever reason WANT more than 300whp lets say closer to 400. (i'd be happy with 350 to the wheels) Will there be any push to see how the manifold will hold up to more HP? |
We won't test the manifold beyond what the 6258 is capable of, no. I have a tenative plan to offer a 500whp-capable EFR7064 kit, but that will be a no A/C, no P/S kit with a price tag closer to $10k, and that's only if the 6258 kits sell well.
