I called any one have a round number of hours it will take to install the kit? It's $110 an hour for labor there.

20- 25 hours

Cost of a good quality install will run between $1800-$2000. You can add $350-600 on top of that for tuning. I'll pm you a shop here in SA that has done several top notch GTM turbo builds. The tuner, George,at this shop has not tuned with Ecutek yet, but he is seriously considering adding it to his list of many tuning options he has available. When he does get his hands on it, IMHO he would be your go to guy.

I appreciate that

I went with EcuTEK as well. I'm going to be working with a very reputable tuner down in South Florida. He's tuned all sorts of cars, and every single one I see is done so well and reliable. He also swears by EcuTEK.

My patience on this kit is getting pushed hard. I really don't know if I can go any longer. Lately my life has been stressed enough. It's on the rise now, but.... My car has always been my life away from life. I don't know if I can do it even this close if it really is. I'm stuck and I guess I could count my losses. Come Friday might be my last day waiting. Seriously.

Who are you going to use for tuning?

I called Sam last week and he said he would have the final schedule out the last friday that passed. I've been patiently waiting, but it's hard to expect things and then have the expectations broken again and again. :ugh2:

I'll hopefully be working with Kenny@Turbogixxer Tuning. You can find his stuff on facebook. He's a really cool guy, very knowledgeable and intuitive. He tuned my buddy's turbo'd Kia Forte on Haltech, another friend's all-motor high compression Civic, as well as plenty of Honda's, 6 cyl cars, and street bikes. One thing I really vouch for is his sense of professionalism and the ease of talking to him.

He just finished purchasing the full suite of RaceROM software for the EcuTEK stuff, and he's very looking forward to that market. I talked to him about this particular setup, and besides working with the experimental VVEL and Boost control which are in development, I think we will be able to get the car running awesome.

I heard the single life is better anyway....

Me too buddy. At least you still have your car in the meantime. I may be correcting that issue soon.

I sacrificed what was going to be my biggest track year yet. I had sever thousands put back for at least 15+ events and now its over for the year. My motor had been pulled since May. Sometimes enough is enough even this close. No pun intended towards GTM. Great people and friends. Life lesson learned. Sometimes a principle has to be honored towards myself. Maybe next time around. Trust me my heart is broke as funny as that may sound.

Due to the enourmous delay, how about shipping the kits to those people who have PAID IN Full 3 MONTHS AGO instead of trying to get 100 kits ready to go and stocked on the shelves ready for order.

I found this to be absolutely hilarious.

It would be a lot better if they just never even gave you an idea when they thought it was going to be done, and just said "when it's done we'll tell you" like FI did there is no bitching in that thread.

Gotta love a hype man.... or group.
Flaaaaava Flaaaaaaaaav!!!
