To the best of my knowledge, it never went into production.

I think it was because they couldn't make enough power to justify the development costs, at least not better than Stillen's SC kit

I also heard about th blown motor. Also, with all the modes that had to be done as far as pistons and such, a kit would not be worth the money to produce.

Hey nvmymax2, your ride look really cool, one question though, since your ride is very low do you have any problem with rubbing when you turn or hit bump ? What spring strut combo you have ? I saw you have secret sauce is this a 50-75-100 shots ?

Cheers

I was just thinking to post the same thing.

I was looking through greg's homepage www.greghome.com and saw the article again. I wonder why it never went into production. Stillen has made quite a bit on their supercharger kit, I'm sure lots of us would like a turbo option as well. Someone should call JWT about this. Maybe if we can get across to them that there is enough demand then they would consider making kits for our cars.

I spoke to them about converting mine. They were pretty rude when they said it was a one time thing and they did want to mess with some ECU problem that they confronted. BS Blah Blah. A current turbo system is in the works to be released by June 29. A company who normally deals with Helicopers and small planes is going to join the import car scene do to lack of the bisness in the field of flight. They will hopefully be making the manifold. One small step for man, One giant leap for Maxima kind.
