@FastFreddy61

This kit will pass emission testing if you can have it tuned precisely enough and you could still use a high flow Cat converter if required. Due to the Stock ecu still being in place to control other things in the car the aftermarket ecu is very easy to hide.

The stock ECU is kept in place to control the factory gauge cluster, A/C and electric steering.

Saw it running a couple weeks back on the dyno. Tony had a full turbo conversion (can't remember price), but not fitted (extra as usual). Perhaps theyre left overs from the first fitment?? Tried to persuade me to buy....ha ha.

Still not convinced...

I'll hit you up for a ride Brettus next time we meet up. Btw had my cat removed...10x better.

I saw it running great! They set it all up for testing purposes made a reliable 350HP and left it at that. There new kits they are supplying are to fit an FD engine 13B-REW with 35/40 turbo 60mm gate, fuel system etc safe 400+HP atw. as far as i know they have done a few now and will also have a bridge-port RX8 engine for sale soon which the stock RX8 ECU should control fine, if not only basic mods would need to be done. also do custom Oil coolers (Twins) for RX8.
