For those of you who are complaining about dollar per horsepower ratio maybe you should stick to Nitrous Oxide, that gives you the most bang for your buck.

Again, this kit is NOT for everyone, I understand that, I apologize to the seriously interested people that have to read through the emotional garbage.

For those of you who truly understand horsepower numbers, 50 horsepower on any ONE modification is HUGE!!

On a car that is equipped with 84 horsepower, if that is at the wheels, thats OVER a 50% gain, please tell me another form of modification for the dollar per horsepower that would achieve that kind of gain.


ONE LAST TIME, MY OFFER STILL STANDS, I WILL GIVE UP ONE WEEKEND TO HELP SOMEONE INSTALL THIS KIT LOCALLY, OR I WILL OUTRIGHT INSTALL IT FOR A NOMINAL CHARGE.

Unfortunately I have to report to my boss in 1 weeks time to see if this forum venture has gained any traction, if I do not receive any solid buyers before that time frame there is a good chance this offer will be canceled all together and any potential buyers will be looking back at retail prices to purchase....

Thank you for your interest,

Evan

Evan

You misunderstood me. I meant that the 50HP is fking great on my car! But since I live Lebanon I will have no customer support. I'm out.

That wasn't my point. I know it will make a big difference. I am talking dollar per HP....it is expensive for 50HP.

Oh , I want this kit and I have money , but I'm tring to ask some serious question to the vendor stright up thats all . Imo he was comming off a little "fresh" in a couple of his post and nobody is even talking shit we're just tring to get some "real" answers about this kit . I've been around the "import world" for a few year now and I know that this is one of the best s/c kits out there , so i'm not baggin' one bit . I just need a couple answers before I drop 4k thats all .

Charles you had no reason deleting my post. It was not offensive. I offered suggestions and thoughts. I have interest in this but I will express my opinions whether he is a vendor or not.

Man, I would love to have another PE kit. The one for my xB was pretty much hassle free. Too bad I am having a kid later on this year. Will have to put this upgrade on the list for next year.

Comes with everything, the good parts are the Rotrex charger (which without exceeding it's warrantied limits) is NOT upgradable; the Fuel controller (Split Second) works great easy to use......that bad parts are 1 mount: left over Bb part doesn't correctly fit and rubs coupling into the intake 2 filter and MAF adapter CRAP 3 lower pipe bad workmanship, mount cracked 4 belt that doesn't fit 5 And a company rep that assumed I didn't know the basic mechanics and tried the feed me BS on the phone. Who also had to do with selling me my kit

Wow....only giving us a week. Sounds like the pressure cooker is on....no thanks. I want to feel comfortable and see some real life examples. I recall a claim years ago by a vendor for Z-Engineering SC's for Gen IV VW's. All roses and there were TONS of problems. According to him though, in Germany....everything was fine, folks had thousands up on thousands of miles. I am not challenging the gain....50 HP is fantastic and the best delivery for this car for sure is SC'ing but c'mon man....we want to see some average Joe's put this thing on and drive the car HERE. To pull this off the table without some real life feedback is just ridiculous....

1 week I have to report in, does not necessary mean the offer is over... it will just determine if forums are worth the time and money for the company to invest...

Agreed. It is our money after all and we as buyers should be objective to potential purchases and ask as many question as possible. Like I said before show me results first, do not tell me about them. You as a vendor should at least understand some of the concerns. $4k is not chump change to most of us.

the times i hate being in canada. Always missing out the good stuff in cali. I probably would've jumped if I had help for installing it.

It is unfortunate that no one wants to take the chance on this SC. It looks so much nicer than the blitz unit IMO.

Has there been any test cars you've put these on Evan? Maybe you could have some people test the unit, do a few videos and reviews, and then remove them if they don't want to buy it so we can at least get some more testimonies on it? I'd really like to see this kit start selling, and I think just a review from someone would contribute to your sales.

Thanks for the input, there are few and far between for US owners, that is one of the main reason why I am willing to take 1 weekend to get 1 persons car going.....If they are as far as Las Vegas, San Diego, or Nor Cal i would be going if they covered transportation costs, I will pay for my own room and board.

I meant absolutely no offense in my post. In my own mind, i am pretty sure that this is a great product and a great buy. But with only pctures, and the sellers word, you can see why its difficult. As wonderful as it is that these kits have been sold in Japan, it doesnt really help here. Get one on a USDM, test and confirm it,(like stated earlier, even if you take it back off!) and im sure you'll make at least a few sales on here. Every one of us would love to see someone buy one. Best of luck!
