Yeah I just didn't feel like spending all the extra cash to get it. And the standard package, at least our standard package, has two lifetime channels. Oh well...to RSD's house to watch!

SFR, what were you guys using on your kits again? A 60-1? I always figured we'd have more people on this site with your kit, you guys get rave reviews from other communities.

The only thing I remember about them (besides their dyno, which is pretty good) is the video of them "testing" the turbo on a public road with traffic.

yeah, i dont recall who or why, but i seemed to have the notion that they caught a lot of crap and just left...? i dont mean the, show us specifics, numbers, talk tech stuff, i mean the just blatently got bashed on. i could be WAY off the mark, i dunno, its been a while...

More or less that is a pretty accurate statement.It didnt stop us from selling kits though It just seemes like it wasnt worth the hassle that we were getting to keep posting on he boards as often as we would have liked.Wenever left the boards and we would come on here and give updates.We had a one year update,then a two year update and then I think a three year update,etc.......We still produce a high qaulity kit and there are enough of them out their now that alot of people recognize what we can do.It seems as though the boards have calmed down a bit since then too.

But does RSD have it in HD? I can't remember. All I know is that I do now. And that I rule.

Do you have any new dyno plots of your kit? I did see the one from your website but it's the same from a couple years back.
Really like your kit btw

This is correct my friend. Dan is crazy.He bought a turbo kit form us last year.Then he went out and bought an 07' RX8.Gave it to a shop in Canda(which works on American muscle) for two days to do the install.Picked it up as soon as it was completed. Drove to New York for the Great American Run and then proceeded to blast 3000 miles across the country in it four days. Who hoo!

Really like your kit btw

One of our customers dynoed the car with more tuning and extra boost at 363WHP on a dynojet but I never got a copy of the chart The thing is when we isntall the kits here,we dont run more then 9-10 psi because we are using 91 octane and want a customer to be able to get in his car and drive 3000 miles with the pedal to the metal without thinking about it.
