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

JoeyFiasco · 03-29-2010, 01:38 PM

let me start another rumor. so that means you are making a flash at home unit?

but seriously, what about those folks that live a little to far away to drive?

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).

we can definitely just sell the turbos, Ill talk with Eric tommorrow

If this were to happen who would be interested in the turbos only? of course there would be a core exchange program!

If the price is right and there's proven gains put me down yesterday..

Tiago@VRSF · 03-29-2010, 05:21 PM

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...

awesome to hear

Donald-335i · 03-29-2010, 06:18 PM

i would be extremely interested depending on price.

stealth-twntrbo · 03-29-2010, 07:36 PM

I just wanna know prices backed up with dyno testing and reliability testing.

themyst · 03-29-2010, 07:43 PM

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!
