how would i retune this thing if i added richard's intake manifold and a bigger throttle body?
how long is the warranty for? what kinda coverage? +1 on a payment plan. 4k is a lot of money. |

i dont know 4100 for same hp as the blitz unit, saplaymate dyno'd his rotrex kit and made around 120 hp. why would i want to spend more for same power gains?

Also saplaymate asked if their unit could be warrantied, which leads me to believe the kit they installed did not operate the way it was originally intended. Not trying to get a discount from them, lol, just stating we don't know all the facts for the kits that both saplaymate and ddongbap have. (Anymore, I remember the threads, just don't remember the content. lol) |

Man everything sounds really good so far. My question is that it says estimated time of install about 4 hours if you're a good wrench( I think I am) but does the kit include every nut/bolt/piping /couple/whetever to disasemble a stock car and install the basic kit and fire the car up with-out needing any other parts other than colder spark plugs and better gas ? I would buy this kit over the blitz based on the upgrade-ability and ease of being able to upgrade to a fmic with this kit .

It would be easier to replace the pully for higher boosting the ability to easily add an intercooler and maybe richards manifold. Personally I like the looks of this kit more than the blitz kit. Like I said if my tax return is enough I might buy this kit. |

but you'd have to retune with richard's intake manifold i'd assume. and if you got a pulley for higher boosting. i dont want to spend hundreds of more dollars trying to find a guy who can tune this thing here in hawaii. i can see it now... ah

rarer than JDM -1 of 1!

This was the kit that i originally wanted. Too bad it came out (official release -U.S.) after i made up my mind to work on the other car. We shall see. That pricing is not that bad, but $3700 in my wrx (powerwise) would give me like 3x the power this puts down. So it is a tough choice.
I just had my eye on a $2800 coilover from KW to replace my tein flex's. We'll see. |

A solid pulley could be replaced with an overdrive pulley to push more boost. This has potental to make more power with that configuration.

yeah, I guess I don't really think about warranties, I voided my Toyota warranty the second week I had my car.
