the turbos perform incredibly and have had excellent reliability, BUT we would like to release them with a flash tune.

There are thousands of people with jb3 and/ or proceede - you should release just the turbo upgrade right now IMHO.

You can always package your upgrade with a glad tune later !
Respectfully I think u guys are making a mistake (just think about apple versus Microsoft about 20 years ago).

Core exchanges are gonna be tough considering most of these cars are daily drivers.

For the right gains and price I do not think you realize how big of a market there is for turbo upgrades right now...

It can't possibly be that simple. I would think you need a higher duty HPFP, larger injectors, and an upgraded FMIC as a necessity. Then again, we were wrong about the tunes in 07, methanol in 09, and nitrous in 2010. Let us know how it goes!
