Thats the prob with the G compared to the Z.
Oh well, I guess I'll just have to stay in the gas longer against Z's lol.

I thought that the way JWT names the turbo kit refers to their max horsepower capability. Therefore... 530whp for the 530bb, 700whp for the 700bb, and 850whp for the 850bb.

Is that really true?

That's correct. JWT rates their turbos close to crank hp capability.

They are priced about the same. We have to pay for the equipment and each individual license for each ECU we flash. I wish it was like the Evo, and open-source flashing. That would be sweet.
