Red pipping would be awesome

i think you should have an option for both red and black pipping so the buying can choose the look they like.

i definitely love that your really listening to our input and answering our questions

keep up the good work and cant wait to see what you guys come up with, im sure it will be great!

EDIT: just saw a these and thought this color would be perfect for your charge pipes

So far, red is the color of choice for the piping.

According to the picture provided, that looks like anodized red.
We would prefer to stay with powercoating, it's much more durable.

I vote textured black! stealth look ftw!

I do want the race kit so bad, I don't care if I lose A/C lol.... do you all know what belt fits after removing the A/C compressor??? I would do this for sure, I want a beast of a car, and most of all I want it to be efficient, I don't want to have to worry about heatsoak, etc. Also with your race kit, you will be including the oil cooler right??? I think you should have it as an option for both at least, it is an important part IMO.

Yes, ultimate is greater, especially how Ptuning has it setup... hey Ptuning, are you still flirting around with the idea of doing the MAF delete? I know you have talked about it before and that would be ideal IMO.

Thank you for everyone's comment and advice, to answer the last few post, yes we will be including a tuned map with our turbo kit. We want this to be a turn key turbo kit meaning that once you have the kit properly installed, you are ready to enjoy the new turbo setup. We don't want anyone to have to drive their car in limp mode to their nearest tuner to get the car tuned--that just adds more headache and more cost on top of the turbo kit.

We will try our best to make your transition into the world of forced induction as enjoyable as possible.

As far as I/C piping color, we will either offer ptuning texture red or black or maybe both if there's a lot of demand for both.

if by "texture powder coat", you mean wrinkle finish. here is a really good write up on how to do it yourself.

oh yeah, people here want to customize their setup a lil bit.. it would be nice too if uncoated pipes are available for those who want to do their own coating
