As the kit itself is still be built/tested, they haven't gotten it to the track yet.

That is something we are all waiting for.

We may even see some type of shoot out between the kits in the near future.

Mia, did they ever solve why it was pinging at 10psi (91 octane)? Was it using the Walbro when it did that? Thanks

It was not using the walbro when they did that no...When they installed the Walbro on the base TS map for the stock fuel pump they began running close to 9.5:1 a/f. They have since created a new map to further tune for 11.5:1 with the Walbro pump.

Is this going to be the same price with that fuel pump upgrade?....if not how much more? it seems they keep adding things after naming a est. price. Even some sites are preodering at a certain price now...

the original price includes the fuel pump upgrade. Turbonetics was on the fence about adding that to the kit before but I guess decided too for added tuning ability. This is good news for us since if you want to up the boost and tune for more power you now have more than enough fuel pressure for it. I believe gq_626 is using this pump at 8.5 PSI on hos Greddy kit and is still having to scale his injectors back a LOT to keep it at 11.5:1. Turbonetics is just sweetening the pot now!!

Sorry if I'm being redundant here, but what's the potential of the turbo (max hp )? Thanks

Thats odd. Maybe install or application specific problems. Walbro 255s are one of the most common pumps in the import F/I scene. GQ has had one for like a year on his car I think. As well have several others.
