GTM Performance Engineering: MHI Twin Turbo Official Release

I think a lot of vendors are guilty of posting "release" or similar threads well before the products are actually ready. Perhaps the moderators could develop some rules for forum

I think a lot of vendors are guilty of posting "release" or similar threads well before the products are actually ready. Perhaps the moderators could develop some rules for forum sponsors so as to not unintentionally mislead folks. In my opinion, there should be no "release" thread until a product is on the shelf and ready to be sold. For example, this thread is really more of a "development" thread and/or group buy pre-sale thread. Just look at how much has changed since post #1. I think this may also help to set expectation levels for all the eager gear heads running around here.

You make some very good points and suggestions which I agree with as I have seen this strategy used by many vendors. I think many vendors use this pre-release strategy with a group buy to generate a source of income to continue doing research on a future marketing program such as was done here. It is clear from the many posts that GTM is continuing its research program which may or may not be in the final stages of development. I was very interested in this project but took a wait and see position and am glad I did.

Yes. This might be very true. Overall, I hope when the product is in the final release stage, it should be rock solid and the vehicle will run like factory made twin turbo with no trouble. I know it is very annoying to have to wait this long, but in a sense it is worth it to me. I hope this MHI TT product will be a real good and a reliable product by the time it comes to our hands for those who are still willing to wait.
