lol...don't get me wrong, you know it's gonna happen...I've been following this thread and even pm you a few times, because I give you major prop to be the guinea pig. I would like to see some respectable numbers coming from TC that Tom's and LMS couldn't do. I personally would NEVER do business with TC, because Kenny has that cocky attitude and his business ethic is in question. (re-badging someone else's product)

does anyone know what happened to that silver 2JZ 2IS?

^^^yeah you really do have a sick ride even if it doesnt work out but it would seriously suck if it didnt work out for you man!

im wondering why Toms or LMS couldnt get a respectable amount of gain from their systems...cuz whats different about our motors from others that keeps us from having big gains??

i can understand it taking so long if this was a normal install and they are booked out for awhile but this is a custom install where they could potentially sell alot of systems to us IS guys...so why dont they figure it out all ready and get ur car back to you?

^ I don't want to go into much detail since moderators have warned...but but our car has high compression, which leads to not be able to handle alot of boost safely. for more info, do a search.

They really wouldn't...there's very little to gain that way either.

First = You cant modify the ecu or any engine parameters

Second = high compression is a small problem but can be overcome.

Third = no market for it......

More great info on turbochargers....
