I'm all for this, but, we want to see a running car with a full dyno run documented. yeah you can add boost and fuel, how well it the timing adjusted, we want something rock solid reliable, not some joker set up, otherwise we're better off having kleemann program the ecus.

o and by the way according to sts, this will not effect your warrantee what so ever. its against the law for a dealer to revoke your warantee because of after market modifications. unless the car breaks down or sumthin and you take it in to get checked out. they will have to prove that it was the aftermarket parts fault first. so this will NOT effect your warantee.

Not like I'm trying to root against the kit, but I'm pretty sure the warrantee company could make a convincing argument as to the added pressure of forced induction causing a multitude of problems starting at the throttle body and working on down the line. I think a person would have to check with their warrantee provider and get everything in writing if they say it's ligit to install a turbo. I'd consider cashing in my warrantee for this toy though.

yeah that's not totally true. but who cares. if your bolting on a turbo your already willing to give up the warrantee.

Yeah the dealers are already looking for an excuse not to look at our cars once you add a turbo I wouldn't take it back to the dealer for anything mechanical... but this all sounds pretty cool can't wait to see some dyno #'s!

I'm interested but somebody has to ask these people about GROUND CLEARENCE!!! I drive to NYC quite a bit and while I have the Eibach pro kit I have no problems there for the most part as long as I'm careful. Is this out of the question if I go to NYC?

At this price its a steal and a no brainer but not if I'm not going to be able to drive on normal streets with my Eibach springs.

I'm not worried about my driveway, thats fine. I'm speaking of when I go to the W hotel in midtown manhattan for a night out. Basically Manhattan. I've never rubbed there if I'm careful even with the Eibach prokit. But this thing seems much lower than anything else under the car. It might be an illusion though because of the angle of the photo. Guy really needs to take more than one picture and show the ground clearence.

I agree on the more than one pic thing.

I have a few roads around here that I only clear by an inch and a half (old asphalt roads).......I can't even imagine lowering the car!
