Will be selling both from the shop and mail order.

Just to clarify due to the tremendous amount of emails, pm's and calls, this kit is still in development stage. That first car was a test mule. The kit will be tried and 'trued' on my car next. BELIEVE ME, you'll know when this kit is completed and ready for sale with pics and dyno runs posted...

Oh, and the 5sp tranny on the old car IS spoken for by TAI MAI SHU for the conversion of his I30.

You have any plans for a 5th gen (mainly 2k2)?

Thanks

What advantages do you have over Nigels kit?
I means by the time you get it done we'll have a tested unit thats already for production. Someone said that they wouldn't pay over 3k for the Turbo kit. Do you mean you wouldn't pay 3k for any kit or for a Turbo kit for Max's. cuz I doubt any will be under 3k unless they're giving away stuff. keep us posted and pix, Id like to see how you got around the front motor mount, its tricky. You said you it 17lbs so that means you already got it to work once. Can we see pix of that?
how did you control the timing on that much boost?
Just wondering?

I am very interested in the progress of this project, a few questions though,

With my high milage what would be required for my engine to handle this induction, also has there been testing on an automatic or is it even compatiable..

Thanks

The piping on the auto is kind of tight due to bigger a transmission in the auto. Nigels guys are trying to work on that I guess.

As for higher miles maybe get a compression test to start with to check the motors health.

So then if my compression checks out to factory specs then I have nothing to worry about or should I go about rebuilding, and if so what parts should I have rebuilt? Please keep me posted on the auto turbo project, thanks
