The fuel trim defender is something that our tuner has been working on and testing. It has been used on our TA tC. Once we are happy with the result, we will include it with our turbo kits. Hopefully, we will be able to release this information near the time we release our turbo kits.

my concern for those who will run the race kit.... this does not have any slim fan or anything right? it looks like it doesnt have one. also, will there be cutting required for the race kit?

i say street kit... mainly because i dont wanna have to cut parts off my frame and second i like my A/C.

also i think for your street kit you should take in some aesthetic ideas from the Turbonetic kit.. its the best looking kit out there by far imho... the chrome black pipes = pure sex
i also like the way they routed there pipes a lot better then the turbotoyota or the dezod kits. it just looks so much cleaner for some reason

^^ Modling after a Tnetics kit....

Damn it won't let me vote for both! LOL.... +1 on offering the manifold sold separately. I would scoop that up in a heart beat.

Street kit should be a good one for most, but the race kit should be available for the few that want it. I would definitely buy a kit from you guys if the price is right.

Mike, your best bet would be to stick with the street for the majority of the public.

With that said, instead of having Street or Race, have Street/ Track.
Street being the basic log manifold, equivalent to a 57trim, FMIC, etc. Keep the price manageable and competitive to Dezod and the likes. Basically, a bolt on kit.

Then have the Track setup be more aggressive. EL manifold, GT series BB turbo, thinner radiator, 3" DP, etc. Something that requires more than the typical bolt on kit. It could still be comfortably used on a daily basis, and will be able to compete on the track. A/C and a crash bar are things not too many people want to get rid of.

Also, to set your kit apart from all others (don't know how your piping will be routed), have an ARC styled intake box in the stock intake location. It will give a very clean look and will be unique.

Thank you once again for all the votes and feedback.
To answer some of your questions:

*how big of an intercooler will you be running with the Street setup?? and what core???
ANS: We don't have the exact spec at this time. However, our goal is to fit the biggest intercooler possible without having to compromise the front bumper support.

* my concern for those who will run the race kit.... this does not have any slim fan or anything right? it looks like it doesnt have one. also, will there be cutting required for the race kit?
ANS: Our race kit does have a slim fan. It's located on the passenger-side, behind the radiator. The race kit will definitely require some modifications. However, the modifications are removal of certain OEM components, such as AC, front bumper support, etc....NO cutting.

* also i think for your street kit you should take in some aesthetic ideas from the Turbonetic kit.. its the best looking kit out there by far imho... the chrome black pipes = pure sex
ANS: We are 100% sure we will not offer our piping kit in black chrome. However, we are playing with the idea of offering the piping in our company color of either RED or BLACK.

* +1 on offering the manifold sold separately. I would scoop that up in a heart beat.
ANS: That is our goal.

* just hope that the tube before and after the intercooler doesnt hang too low just how TT kit was or is, i dont know if they redesigned their tubes.
ANS: We have seen fitment issues from many of the turbo kits for the tC. Obviously, our goal is to design a better kit.

* With that said, instead of having Street or Race, have Street/ Track.
Street being the basic log manifold, equivalent to a 57trim, FMIC, etc. Keep the price manageable and competitive to Dezod and the likes. Basically, a bolt on kit.
ANS: You are absolutely correct. It would be cheaper to produce a log manifold over a SS tubular EL manifold. However, we don't want to compromise our design based solely on cost. Also, we want to make our kits modular enough that you can go from street to race without having to buy a new manifold, turbo ,etc. Therefore, we are 100% sure that both kits will run the same SS tubular EL manifold.

Again, please keep voting and keep the feedback coming.

Regards,
Mike @ PTUNING

I've got an xB, but I would presume street for retension of the A/C and presumebly greater reliability if it comes with a milder tune. Will the fuel maps be pre-loaded for the tC or will it need a tune out of the box? I know it is alwyys better to re-tune for individual intake and exhaust setups.
