Lots of turbo and supercharger kits either just out or coming out soon. I have decided that I will wait another 6 months to a year to see how it all pans out and let everyone else work out the bugs before I make my F/I decision. I think that is sufficient time to get lots of end user feedback and reliablility information, as well as correct tuning and setup issues. Should see a lot more dyno results on some of the coming out soon kits too.

Just curious if I was the only one thinking this way or if this is the "gotta have it right now" forum.

I'm waiting but more because I want to see what ECU solutions come out that can be used with FI.

 

I'm waiting to see if JWT has an ecu solution with their turbo kit also.

 

i'm also waiting to see how our high compression engine holds up with FI. if it doesn't than will either do a complete engine build up with low compression FI setup or do an engine swap to a GTR based solution or if the new GTR ever shows up may just swap cars

 

Well, somebody had to be the first person to buy the ATI kit and have it blow up. Somebody had to be the first to increase the boost on the Greddy kit and see the car go into limp mode. Somebody had to be the first buy the Vortech kit start modifying the R4 maps.

My philosophy is that there have to be people who are willing to be the "lab rats" for this stuff or our forum never gets the "end user feedback and reliability information" that you so desire. Please consider my decision to go FI now rather than later as a public service to you and the other members of this forum rather than as a sign of impatience on my part.

Thanks Steve. As a part of your public service, could you get a 10 lb. pulley so I can make certain that is something that I don't want to try. j/k

 

Well if I did my part when my motor blew, and that was a public service, I'll take some money via paypal

 

Steve,
I totally agree we must have people willing to take the risks for the rest of us. You guys are true leaders, born heros, the cream of the crop! Yea, though I walk through the valley of forced induction, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rods and thy pistons they comfort me. For those about to rock, We salute you!

 

Bill, I won't donate to your ATI disaster, but I'll gladly donate to your new cause

--Steve

 

God be with me.........I beg you...............

 

Oh heck yeah I'll take donations for the new project

 

The early adopters are usually the folks with the most cash, and the greatest addictioning to modding.

 

That would make me into some type of crach head on the side of the street.

 

Gotta wait at least for the factory warranty to expire first...and plus gives you more time to save.

 

Thats what i said at first. Then the next thing you know, your at the dealership telling them to cancel your extended warranty.

 

It helps not to buy the extended warranty in the first place. I knew I would cancel it in a matter of months, so why bother.
