Thanks all for the kind words.. I asked Turbonetics about the auto and they think it will work but it has not been tested yet. I'll see what the schedule is for testing that and let you know. I also got some dyno videos of the car that I will post up tonight..

If you are at all able to turn a wrench and have a safe way to lift the car off the ground, you would be able to install this turbo system. Very easy, very fast install. Not to mention Turbonetics takes pride in offering the very best in install instructions with its systems. Turbonetics is "advertising" 6 hours for the install.

I've been watching this kit for awhile now and it looks great, but got a couple questions...
1. No one answered the question about changing the clutch back in the beginning of the thread if I'm not mistaken. Would a change need to be made with this kit?
2. I'm not familiar with Unichip so how would one go about turning up the boost? Would Unichip need to be re-mapped every single time or can it be done easily on the fly? I get the impression that if I want to turn up the boost I will have to find a Unichip certified dealer to remap everything and that could get real expensive and tedious. It doesn't seem as dynamic as eManage (yes I know they're 2 different tools). I'm hoping I'm wrong though.
3. Pointless question... Can the intercooler be painted or powdercoated a different color. I'd want to do it in black if I could, but that's just me being picky.

1. The kit is designed to work with the stock clutch but a new one can be used. The car I drove has about 2,000 miles of some destruction on it and the black car has two track days under its belt and neither has exhibited any clutch slippage
2. The boost canbe changed by increasing boost via a manual controller or via a Unichip Boost control solenoid. Unichip tuners are actual pretty widespread these days to do the tuning on te EMs
3. The intercooler will only come polished from Turbonetics but can be coated flat black by companies like Swain Tech or Jethot..
