Well it depends on it your in a hurry or not. I think the above stated is more than fair if you don't really have a time limit or in desperate need of the money. If your looking for a quick sum then I think a little less would definitely entice people a little more. With that being said, I know what it's like to have tons of time and energy into a project not to mention the parts, I want to get as much as possible. Please don't take me as trying to lower your price or anything, I was simply adding my thought. Good luck with the sale, pictures would also help us a get an even better idea. Try throwing up a asking price and see what people shout back at you in the For sale section.

Whats the split second? I did a quick search and it looks like that make plug and play turbo tuners for bimmers..

Op if I had the money I would give you 4.5K in a heartbeat. I will be looking to go FI in the future... GL.

Keep it man. You're going to have a hard time finding someone to even pay $4500. I guarantee.

You might have a point NemeGuero, cause when we started with our cars, not all these kids had them. Now the GS' are so cheap, not a lot of kids can afford to buy mods like we did...

true the cost is a little high for kids that just got mommys car but then again there are a lot of rich kids that there parents give them whatever they want i do live in so cal. and as far as the split sec unit it is ftc1 it is a fuel and timing calibration unit that piggy backs on you stock ecu. i actually took that out and just put in a apexi neo easier to tune. i plan on going back to the split sec unit once i get afr meter hooked up i have a plx gauge with afr sensor but i have to but in my high flow cats and x pipe on my exsaust but have been waiting to see if i am going to do this swap to the ls because i figure ill have to redo the exsaust then anyways so why do it twice....

Very interesting Tom. So with the RMM kit I thought it came with a fuel and timing calibration unit that piggy backs on you stock ecu. I am assuming you went with a neo to fine tune your AFR even further..
Keep us posted on your decision to go bow-tie or not..

RMM had no fuel or timing management. They original kit was setup to run 5 psi and the stock computer could usually compensate for that with the 310cc injectors

Yeah the kid/money thing, but also that is fairly expensive

a Turbo setup could be had for a few $k less than your initial asking price, and make more power.

I'm not trying to be rude, just providing another perspective.

If you wanted to sell the RMM kit I bet you could get $3k for it.

But you may be right about rich kids in SoCal.. you may get lucky and find one ready to drop the cash and not look back. I just don't think chances of this are very high. My $.02
