i definitely would be if they can be dyno proven to be worth the gains for how much they might cost.

manifold and headers seems logical. If it's all custom work then it's probably not going to be very attractive to most for our daily drivers. It's kinda a catch 22. Need lots of interest, but sometimes the interest follows availability.

Let us know what you kind out.

That is true, but I really want then to make these available to the Scion community and the really want to start getting involved more with Scion owners and there cars, they are known to make cars go really fast and have a good rep at doing so, but to make a business decision on creating product to be available for order, they need a big enough need for them to make that decision! I hope to get enough xD owners to want one so that they can get started on them ASAP!

All good points. For me to make a puchasing decision I need to know cost.

And what is "Enough". Is 10 enough?

What kind of numbers do they need?

And at those numbers what will the investment be?

I'm jst saying that to make these kinds of things have some life

we gotta know some specs on the consumer end too.

You know what... nobody really seemed interested when I first started the thread, so I didnt have anything to go back to them with, but now that I am in the industry a lil more, I am going to check with a few of my current sponsors and see if they might want to get something going, but I am not sure how long that would take, time is $... but R&D is a lot of $$$ so who knows if this will ever happen? Let you all know when I find out.

Well the place that I went to already did the R&D on my ride and everything worked awsome, but I am sure that there are numerous places out there that would be willing to do it? Im sure that it is going to be a little expensive though!

If you could get fsr to run it on the dyno and post up the results that would be awesome, knowing for sure the gains would prob get me a little more serious in talking to them about doing some work on my car.

You know what the turbo that I macked up wasnt for my car, it went into the Performance Auto and Sound Magazine Project xD, I was just the mack car for all of its product and I got kicked down product and gifts and awsome deals for when I am ready to take my car to that next level whick is now that my xD will be at SEMA as a feature car for a huge comapny in this industry!!!
But I am not sure when they are going to get the project car back so that they can track test it and dyno test it, they said that they would get the car back to do all of that, but only after the tour is done???

Hey Guys,

Sorry guys I don't come on here often. We are very busy at the shop. shop.

Anyway, Mario, you've gotta stop by our new place! Ever thought about doing that turbo? I'd love to see how your car is coming along?

If anyone is interested and serious, we'd love to do more work on the XD platform; that is why we sponsored the PAS car and were hoping that we'd get some XD work. Our shop is stacked with Supras, Mitsubishi's, and Lexus' right now, so we couldn't do it immediately. But if someone is willing to be patient, we do excellent top notch high quality fabrication and tuning.
