Well chances are they would be respectful of your car, and look at someone like MIAPLAYA.

His car was used in the Turbonetics kit, and chances are Turbonetics will make it worth your time and contribution

Also this is not something new, many makers use others vehicles for the design and making of their parts.

What's the deal, do you get a discount if you buy the kit?

If your car is used for R&D you get a kit plane and simple.

you can't figure this one out for yourself? Is there something wrong with you or are you just ignorant?

Yea as if they'd pull the kit back off when they were done and say, "thanks, here's your car back!"

yes you should call MIAPLAYA and the other people who have dedicated their cars for Research and Development of other turbo kits.. dumbasses.. because if they wern't stupid enough to lend out their 30K car... their would be no turbo kits for Z's right now..

its simple.. you don't have any money in your pocket to lend out your 30k car? then STFU

I and anyone who has lent a car to Turbonetics for R&D can tell you its not a case of them playing Dukes of Hazard with the car. They are actually very respectful with the car and if anything does happen during testing they take care of it 100%. They tune the living hell out of the car and even give you dyno sheets with the kit when you get the car back. It was an awesome experience for me and I would recommend anyone who has a car available to lend to do so.

I would jump on this, but actually I just had the TN kit intalled on my 06 touring MT.. I'll tell you first hand, it is VICIOUS!! There were a couple obstacles to work around but all said and done it turned out great!

Good luck to whoever gets the chance to participate in this. =)

Well, it's not so cut and dry. They contacted me first for prototyping this kit because i live out here in simi, and I had offered my car earlier. You do get a big discount on a kit, but you do not just get a kit.

If money weren't so tight because of my upcoming wedding, and moving in two weeks to a new apartment, I would have jumped on this. The team over there (Reggie, Johny, etc...) really is an all-star group of guys.

Congrats to who ever gets this deal.

Have not had the chance to get it on the dyno yet.. I have an AAM single three inch stainless steal exhaust, and I have the Moterdyne MREVpus kit. Since the reflash wouldn't work with the 06 I went with the Utec.

I'll post some numbers as soon as dyno it..
