On the power gains with the ECU is there any loss of gas mileage?

Hendry, Swift makes a supercharger for our car.. It is like 5 grand though.. If you want to keep your car for awhile I wouldn't even consider it... Too much strain on the engine...

As for that group buy Epk I think for me I will wait and see what options come around. Even with the group buy it wouldn't be a crazy discount.... How about this,,,,, since you obviously have some kind of conection with WR, if you get it dropped to half I will buy it...... No IFS ands or BUTTS.....

about that supercharging, I think you're right... I'll keep this car to still have the comfy and smooth ride... If I really want to have a fast car, then I'll consider getting a sports car... but then again... I just sold my Boxster S, so beats the purpose of selling it....

Default Why not??

I know the demand might not be as much, but i have a A4 1.8 turbo and after about $500, i have gained 50hp and tons more torque than stock. I know its hard to gain that kind of power with a NA engine but if they keep the price around $500 they will have a lot more buyers.........FOR SURE!!

Yup, I want to break it down how much it comes down to in terms of Price/hp gained ratio wise.... then at least we'll have an idea how much it'll cost to have one hp gained... that's how I'll figure it out to buy or not to buy...

Adding the chip for turbo cars usually see a jump at least 30 hp to 50 hp depends on the car... But for non-turbo cars, the gain is usually not that much, but the price of chip is not cheaper. So I guess when the dyno results are out, and the final price is set, then we'll see if it'll be worth to buy...

I think this is going to be the last thing I get for this car... I can't wait to see the dyno...... Maybe they'll cut a better deal if I buy 2. I think sometime this spring I am going to get a 2000 GS400... Of course I am going to keep the RX but I need a car that I can have fun working on... The RX isn't any fun no more..... I ran out of things to do with my baby...

that would be nice, I'd love to get another GS (again)... I used to have '99 GS300 that I've sold... kind of miss that car....
Hey, there's a guy at the GS forum who has a '99 GS400 supercharged and all kinds of stuff, he wants to sell it...

very nice car...
