how are they leading you, or anyone else on? By not disclosing the specifics of a kit that is not yet offered to the general public? When they are ready to disclose, they will

I didn't mean it the way you took it. I was talking about how they have led people on about when their kit was going to be ready. I didn't mean to ruffle any feathers. They could have made a boatload(which is what they are in business for) if they would have released something by now. I know that I would have bought their kit with their upgraded turbos if they would have just released a tuner kit when they got the whole setup working(or with no tuning or fuel components for that matter). You answered my questions MIA....thank you!

The aux box just pulls timing from what I understand. If you plan to go for big power expect to replace the injectors at the very least. Not sure if the aux box can be tuned by anyone other then Clark or Jim but right off the bat I'm going to say probably can't be. Just basing that on my experience with their past ECU upgrades. Usually the pre-tuned it and sent it to you. Becasue it runs pull through though it does mean that the boost can be higher without the MAF freaking.

I can't speak too much about this kit but let me tell you this. The torque it produces is inconceivable when compared to it's rivals.

I'm trying to say this in the nicest way but that is a ridiculous statement. Seeing as how most the kits on the market(even the old and outdated Greddy system) have great spoil characteristics this is not even a good selling point. I can put my car on a load based dyno, hold the speed and make it look like it makes full boost at a much lower rpm than could be seen on the street. Most tuners know this trick and that's why most of them are staying out of this. Look at the JWT kit when Sport Z did their shootout. Not much different than the rest. Wait till TurboXS has the anti-lag feature of the UTEC working for the Z!
About the EM/tuning solution: basically what you are saying is you don't know? Sorry for being a dick but you guys are sure talking alot of game. First it was 1)we are going to JWT to dyno, then 2)it was a fresh motor so we didn't rev it, 3)we don't drag race but if we did it would run 11.4@127 4)we make 500whp but JW didn't want to hit the rev limiter/fresh motor thing, and on and on and on. I've tried to ask questions about tuning and what the setup is or what it is not but it's been made out as if it's a secret. After all these boards and specifically this forum are made to share information not market products. If I'm out of line then by all means ban me. I've been seriously dissapointed in the amount of knowledge being shared on this forum on this board as of late because everyone's efforts have been towards arguing and not sharing. MIA has seen the cars and if I ever saw them I could answer my own questions within a 5 minute inspection and 1 minute ride. Example: when running a BAP fuel solution under boost you can hear the pump motor rise in it's whine as it ups the voltage(as long as you can get your head fairly close to the pump and on a 350z that's not a problem) or measure the MAF pipe size. If you view this as argumentative then I apologize but I don't think anyone should tip-toe around the aspects of the kit just because JWT and this kit have been viewed as the Holy Grail of the 350z FI world. I will now be getting off my soap box.

WTF are you talking about? I am not denying anything. All I said was if this kit is using an FMU and stock injectors with no fuel system and a limited EMS like the SS box then how can this kit be the best off all the kits? Again if this is true, then IMO the APS is a better kit out of the box.

how can you guys(vrt) push this kit, says its the greatest of the great and when forum members ask general questions about the kit, you plead the fifth. not trying to flame, but that seems jacked up. all-in-all, i'm glad i didn't wait for this kit like i said i would almost two years ago when i first heard of it. i really don't think the kit is gonna perform any different than most the kits out there. the kits you guys are putting out now are not carb approved just like all the other kits out there, right? you guys seem to have some pretty solid cars, but no different than some of the other forum members that grace these boards. with the exception of the built motor, my g mirrors one of your vrt cars down to the rmc volks. do i call it the "bullitproof" g35 and invade the boards about the supremacy of the aps kit and my supercar-destroying pimp-mobile? nah homie, seems kinda weak. i wish i did live on the west so i could see these everyday track terrors for myself. if your prototype non-carb legal jwt turbo kits are really the end all to be all, i'm sure i'll be reading bout them in all the magazines. sorry this is so long, but the browns are getting their butts handed to them and i'm bored.
