I can't answer your question, but since I'm here already, might as well say hi. "Hi."

Anyway, to answer your question. I heard that it's decently accurate. I don't know of anyone personally that has the whole thing. But the consesus is that its a decent buy

It's all in the tuning. They are saying the kit is "capable" of 500hp, that doesn't mean you'll get it.

You can get a kit that's capable of 600hp, and with incorrect tuning only produce 270hp...

500hp is never reliable, but yes the kit can make 500 hp. And its a pretty damn good deal

The PFC is tuned for these mods right? Your lucky to live in US to be able to get these things without risking and be paying all those taxes, shippment and att that stuff, In sweden there is almost no idea ordering something. The only way to do it is to make it yourself, but I still dont know how to make a PFC of my own......hmm......

Dave, shrink your pics next time so us dial up guys don't have to wait 10 years to get the thread up. Thanks.
Also curious about the link.

I have heard and seen ppl state that their to4s has made a good 400 rwhp which is indeed 500 hp at the flywheel. That is at 15 psi. Do a search on the single turbo section and see what comes up....I have read a few threads in there about this kit. Supposedly the pfc does not come programmed for the single, just programmed for the basic bolt ons.

Why is that?

If you have the money, it is better to grab it in all one sweep. You end up saving more money this way.

If you are interested in seeing what each small mod does, then buy one at a time.

I personally would advise you to fly or drive down to the States to get a kit...

You'll be spilling your money outta your **** just to bring them over the border...unless they are willing to declare them under US $30.00 which seems bizzare..

I've known a guy who planned a trip down, packed the Turbo kit in his suitcase, went through the X-Rays and got off scot-free...and his kit cost US $6,000.

Plan a holiday, buy your kit while you are there, and come back clean....

Taxes in Canada are bullocks..

Not much too say about the turbo kit, BUT ABOUT the Taxes, my boss did this often when sending out $10,000
sculptures to buyers in foriegn countries- He would get the money from them and then ship it pre-paid with NO invoice, AND mark it either prototype or charitable contribution. Worked everytime, he would then mail them an invoice in a regular envelope, thus avoiding all taxes on the other persons behalf.
I think any rx7 vendor would do this- you can declare 0 value on some thing like that (3,000$ turbo kit) as long as you don't include a reciept. You could probably also write research and development purposes also as long as 0 is declared.
