****'s need to be patient. you _____n about the wait, at least they are trying to solve any problems that would cause customers to be unhappy or ruin their cars(which would not be under warranty) whatever the case may be i can assure you these guys would love for this kit to be ready for everyone. i know i would rather wait until they have all the kinks worked out. hell most of the people _____n now would be the same ones _____n if their cars blew up b/c of fuel problems etc. ive just come to realize almost everything about my car is about wait. lava(3 months), wheels(3months), turbo(who knows).

then go get it made... you're still going to be waiting for it. these cars are too new to be demanding stuff. they're gonna run into the same problems every other company is with the turbos so what's the difference?

Hello All,


Just dropping a line. We would like to answer this:

why not make stages?

Stage 1 stock fuel management
Stage 2 upgraded fuel Management
stage 3 To the moon!!

We can do this. Our worry was that everyone was not happy with the Blitz S/C at the levels it produced. Stage one would be about the same levels. The price would be lower however. Would Scion owners pay for a non intercooled 5 psi setup if it was under $2500.00? HP would be about the same as Blitz.

how much higher in price would the next stages go up? that's probably better to make it in stages, gives more options and how much money everyone has to spend.

Ithink it would be agood idea. Even better would be the ability to upgrade from one stage to the next for the difference in prices. Just send out the extra pieces or have them send in the appropriate ones to be retuned.

that is an awesome plan... just need enough to get the kit going then when you get a few more bucks step it up a notch and get the next stage. that'd be cool.

Then I would definately be in for the cheaper kit! No way I could afford the stage 3 at first but I would definately get the Stage 1 and upgrade from there when I get the money.

Stages with the ability to upgrade with just the difference of price. You guys would own the market, hands down, that is a bithin' deal. Please get this thing going.

I'm in ...

IF:
1)Stage 1 is same HP as current Blitz S/C
2)Stage 2 is priced and installed as an upgrade (with substantial HP gains per $)
3)ditto for stage 3
4)minimized wear and tear on the engine

anyone know which parts of the warranty this will void? I know it wouldn't void everything. just curious ...

Anything that has to do with the drivetrain will be void...

How much is the fuel management? Is it possible to install the fuel system first, then when the turbo kit comes out your at stage two. What needs to change, injectors, fuel rail, fuel pump, fuel pressure? Will the kit be compatible for manual and autos? How much psi are we talking about here for stage 1 and stage 2? Can we get an upgraded trans kit through you for manuals or autos, price? If not who would you recommend. Thanks for your time.
