We should have our press release within the next day or two and will be able to answer that question more definitively at that time.

Like our Garrett based twin turbo kit, you do not need to drop the engine for the installation. Some people prefer to do that although we do not do so on our in-house installations since the benefit of dropping the motor is small compared to the extra time required to pull the motor in the first place. Also, dropping the motor opens up more opportunities to mess up the installation for your average technician.

We will be releasing details on the group buy in our upcoming press release within the next day or two.

Kit looks great guys!

Thank you. As for the AWD turbo kit, we weren't really planning on adapting this kit to that car since it is a real beast to fit a turbo kit in the first place. It took a ton of effort to develop a turbo kit that works on the AWD setup since it is a completely different animal from the rear wheel drive cars. That said, we can certainly look into the feasibility of adapting the MHI setup into the AWD platform.

Hmmm. It seems that is going to be a challenge with pretty much any kind of forced induction kit. However, like most challenges, I'm confident that it can be overcome. I'd be curious to see how exactly they are routed.

If you define the end of the week as Friday, then one could reasonably anticipate a 15 March press release. Since that hasn't happened, I'm guessing things probably just took longer than expected. Hopefully, we'll get an update from GTM soon.

Yes, we had hoped to have results and the final press release done by Friday since that was what we were shooting for. We were on track to have it all buttoned up by then, but unfortunately, the test car's owner didn't mention to us that his clutch was toast before he sent it over for testing and development. We did get a new OS Giken Twin Disk Clutch installed last Friday and the car is on the dyno as we speak. We should have the press release done today or tomorrow.

Right....How? Someone needs to learn how to drive a manual or stop doing burnouts and floating the clutch.

This is a 2009 car with 40k on the clock and quite a few track days. Even if the clutch was not slipping before, adding more torque certainly finished it off.
