I wonder what are they going to do with the engine ECU. From what I heard it cant be flashed or replaced with a tuned one. If so, how are they going to build a turbo engine without tuning ECU?

Assuming they run the same 5-6 lbs of boost all the other FI kits have so far they won't need to change the ECU at all.

They also won't produce much power, but given they're not changing the compression ratio I don't expect them to anyway.

In an effort to keep this thread useful and informative, I'd like to remind all members that you can subscribe to a thread without posting "Subscribed" in it. Click on "Thread Tools" at the top of the thread page, and then click "Subcribe to this Thread." This thread is going to be long enough without dozens of "subscribed" posts taking up screen real estate. Thanks for your understanding, and good luck to the OP and Turbochargers.com!

^^ haha no worries man... your car with the wheels and brakes are hot stuff

The goal is for me to unveil it for Hot Import Nights Chicago. Honestly they pump out so many great builds in no time for big events that im pretty confident that it would be ready. In saying that, they have all the time they need to work on it. There really isnt any deadline. They are gonna work all the kinks out so that they can retail it so well just have to wait and see..... If they dont though, ill still go to HIN but obviously without my car. Let just hope they can finish by then.

What do you mean? I have yet to see one of you with a SC ever track your car or hit the drag and post results. Competition is all right there in the low 13's and even a 12.

For some reason I don't see your car anywhere on there.
