S2000 Forced Induction S2000 Turbocharging and S2000 supercharging, for that extra kick.

would it really though? My opinion is that it wouldn't.


The kit already lost a lot of buyers b/c of the price mark-up. With an upgrade kit, they would have to buy the base kit, then an upgrade kit? Doesn't seem like a wise business decision for Greddy.

The only thing i could see greddy making is a "you-tune" style kit with a large turbo. This would keep the costs down since an emanage woudn't be included, and no added R&D costs for basemap tuning or CARB testing. So the price would be kept on the fairly low side.

wouldn't a "you-tune" kit disqualify the kit from it's carb legal status?

lucky77, could you explain more on what is meant by turbo falling off hard after 13psi? Do you have a copy of the dyno to explain what you mean?

What means of measuring the manifold pressure are you using? What exhaust have you got on your car?

So lucky77 you will be using a 20g, I am going to use a GT30r and a new DP, it will be very interesting to compare our results. When do you plan on having yours tuned?

Soon as i sort this electrical issue that has appeared.

Be interested to see how your conversion comes out. What sort of boost are you planning on running?
I am going to do 9psi for now and see how it goes, I will move on to stage 3 (2-3mm HG) after a while and up the PSI. I just want my car to work for a while.
