Yup,

and meanwhile Inline Pro's S2000 kit which costs less makes 420 whp with a VERY similar power curve, and much better midrange punch.

Hmmm, wonder which one I'd go with??

I agree. The HKS kit looks nice, but no way would I ever be interested in a centrifugal sc for the 8. Low/mid range power is what I'd be after. And positive displacement or axial flow will give that with a decent top end as well. But some like that exponential boost from a centrifugal.

Let's just wait and see what the HKS engineer's in Japan come up with, as they have some of the best in the business! If it doesn't work out, I'm sure a GT ball-bearing Turbo Kit wouldn't be a bad option! :D

Let's just be thankful that we finally have some repeatable manufactures interested enough to work on FI kits for our cars!

We at least gotta luv that aluminum intake manifold they are showing us. I'm going to hold out till the warranty is up and then review how all this FI shakes out.

All i know is that since there is so much talk alrdy about different superchargers and other forced induction systems for the 8, the greddy turbo kit will soon be a long forgotten fling of the past...which is fine by me!

Don't be so sure about that. With Mazmart now talking about porting the turbo on the GReddy kit and adding their own Engine Management, it is now looking like a very attractive option once again.

I prefer to sit at the background and see all the people fight for the tubro.

Spoken to those very close to Trust, HKS and co. ... and who is a tuner in Japan...

Nearly all their show & race cars use Motec! Lucky I am in Australia :D

But they sells you with their Management system and their map. :o
