no,no don't go..if you get there they will probably tell you they postponed it for 2 weeks. Corky has no perception of time that we can tell. 6 month ago he said 10 to 15 days to have the CF up and running. We may never hear from you again.
As far as my $200 bucks refund...you can have a 20% recovery fee if you can get my money.
Hey,where is Herman (roadsterguy) did he go down there? haven't heard from him in a long while.

I thought about leaving my car with him since I'm stationed in Guam for 4 years but I was kinda scared I would never see her again.

I hate to say it as an 2x ex-N/A owner.. but the platform has no performance potential if Corky Bell can't put a turbo on it.

This is what I love.. if you look through back threads on Turbo.. weekend warriors have "installed" turbo systems faster than this company that does it for a living. Tuning was there issue and corky hasn't even got to that point per the website. After reading a Miata got sent home with the Turbo in the trunk - which the Miata has been there bread and butter - that's when it really hit home on their "services".
"We finally got the oil pump-cooler in.. pics after Turkey day".. she just left out the 2013 on the end of that statement I guess.

The turbo is possible though. Through Corky..... well probably not at this point. But look at Web 3.0 and the breakthroughs he made. Boost is possible and probably a lot easier than it seems. Web already said the NA PCM could be used so it's probably Star DAS coding.

StarDAS cannot edit the maps in the ME, it is factory scantool. The hardware and software needed to tune the Bosch Motronic ME's costs thousands of dollars.

I GOT AN EMAIL UPDATE!



Chrysler Crossfire Turbo System
The rumors are true! The prototype vehicles arrive at the end of January. The rear mounted turbo system will feature a Garrett or Chinese turbo, stainless lines, and BEGI quality components. See the Crossfire Forum for more information!

This really is starting to redefine the term "turbo lag", isn't it?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ What he said..



I'd bet BEGi is fairly shocked..
as most seem to have thrown in the towel and hollered "Uncle" after a year..
