yeah i mean its not really tested in miles yet but then again 12000 mile isnt really good miles to tell.... give it about 3 to 4 years then we can tell.... as far as a reason i picked this is also the power output that its giving out..... and if your comparing it to greedy.... how about if HKS puts out a system.... can you compare them also.... no because off course HKS will win because of their quality and performance...... how about if ACOSTA motorsports... put out a system for the renesis.... knowing the previous success with their 3 rotor..... will you trust ACOSTA over greddy.... my conclusion you cant really tell how smooth our car will go... everything in our car is so new that we just cant tell.... how did greddy become so trusted because of time....... now why not be the first to trust SFR/SSR like the first to trust greddy when they were new and let their company grow.....

My friend called SSR a couple months ago in reference to the turbo. He said they wanted him to take his car to thier main shop in Pheonix (is that where you are going for your install?). He also said the reason he didnt go ahead with the install is because they lied to him about it being emmisions friendly. I wish you the best of luck with the install, but be wary.

When you post the dyno sheet, also post a copy of the receipt

We said that it wouldn't be CARB Compliant, but there is absolutely no reason it can't pass emissions in any other state.

Hopefully he doesn't hold back on us for days like SSR would. Announce something and not come through for another 3 - 4 weeks afterwards

hahah you guys are already talking sh*t. well unfortunately.SFR was short staffed, and it was really understandable. as one of my friends recently died by a fatal gunshot wound. it turned out that 2 of their mechanics was a friend with the same guy.plus two extra cars came in a black ferrari, and the original rx8 with the sfr turbo came in to get the turbo taken off because he was gonna take it to the dealership for some warranty issues. so tim rescheduled my install for next monday. but he told me to give him a call saturday to see if they were fine. i know you guys was really excited. so was i. but next week guys.,if everything goes well at the shop. it should be in.
