Once the kit has done its test kms. I guess the next step is to fit a kit on a standard exhaust ,then probably take orders I guess

In terms of the Kits warranty , all parts minus the turbocharger itself is covered as I cant cover for driver abuse or overboosting . This variable is out of my control.However every other part has an unconditional 12 mth warranty against manufacture defects .
By the way , the Greddy kit has no warranty whatsoever .

Update......
Sripped down the kit yesterday to do a 5000 km check on everything to see how we are traveling
Pleased to see everything is holding up nicely , still looking brand new
The turbo including all thew wheels are showing no signs of wear .
I would have expected this as the turbo is lazily chugging along at half its optimum capacity
More news next week once we wait our turn for the Dyno
Keep you posted
Stay Beautiful

Guys, I am anxiously waiting for an update. I am not really sure when is the next Dyno day. I think it is going to be this week sometime.
In the mean time, can you Dave please post an estimate on how much this kit would be? Thanks.

The next dyno day will hopefully be next week as the director of the company has been away at the SEMA show
It all looks promising

Also the weight of the stock manifold is not even 500grams lighter than the new Manifold which includes the Turbo !!!!
The stock one
And my new one including the turbo charger
So nearly the same weight , and capable of doubling engine output
We actually save weight when we get rid of that massive cat and dreadfully heavy exhaust ..Il weigh them soon must save at least 5kgs

... I may have missed something here, but does that mean you've done away with the cat altogether...or have you installed a sports cat?

About your Greddy . I have one too .and its for sale .
Greddy has a great kit for what it has been designed for . 30 - 40 hp increase
Any more than that would see a shortened life of the turbo / engine
Thats why I designed this kit from scratch .
We have already acheived nearly 100 hp over stock and its not fully tuned yet
The next couple of days will see the final tune of the kit .
Stay tuned
Ciao
