Three dots (...) is known as an ellipsis. I do not think it means what you think it means.

I'm amazed that it's taken them so long, and for like $2k more that the greddy kit, I would thnk that the for the same price you could get more out of the greddy. IMHO

I'm more interested in how your car will be running 10,000 miles after the install, than how it runs on the drive home.

:D

I agree with dmp, greddy has a much more proven track record of things not blowing up

Musta had heaps of dramas to finally get the kit ready ... Bit suspect

Greddy's tried and tested and can get the same HP figures with only minor tweaking

Just my 2cents

To be fair guys none of these kits, GReddy included, are really tried and tested. There simply hasn't been enough time.

id let my engine take the heat if i didnt have to pay the hefty fee to install a ssr turbo.

i just cant afford a turbo, but i crave hearing the whistle of a turbocharger under my hood....

but it doesn't take science or long-term tests to know a system adding 50whp is going to stress the drivetrain much less than one adding 150...etc...numbers for example only.

Plus - I think those were the guys who were kinda shady...I hope it works out, however!

they are using ric shaw tsi unit ......
and the reason why i picked SPEED FORCE over PTP is because the shop is much closer to me... i can report problems to them easier... they can fix problem easier....it take like 15 mins from my house to get to the shop.... and plus TIM and the guys from SPEEDFORCE are really cool.... plus the previous work impressed me.... remember keith tah lil supra making ridiculous horsepower... thier 944... and the g35 that they have in the shop

I guess its all relative, but if my car ran 12k miles with no problems reliability question is still up in the air with me. Put it through 100k miles then break open the engine then we will see if its tried and tested. No unit out is tried and tested simply b/c it only came out half a year ago, sure it's been tested but hardly tried. Come again two years in the future then we will see. Overall everybody is taking a stab in the dark with any FI project.

Also...what makes you think the owner with the Greddy who has had it for 12,000 miles guns it from every stoplight like I would? :D

yeah i mean its not really tested in miles yet but then again 12000 mile isnt really good miles to tell.... give it about 3 to 4 years then we can tell.... as far as a reason i picked this is also the power output that its giving out..... and if your comparing it to greedy.... how about if HKS puts out a system.... can you compare them also.... no because off course HKS will win because of their quality and performance...... how about if ACOSTA motorsports... put out a system for the renesis.... knowing the previous success with their 3 rotor..... will you trust ACOSTA over greddy.... my conclusion you cant really tell how smooth our car will go... everything in our car is so new that we just cant tell.... how did greddy become so trusted because of time....... now why not be the first to trust SFR/SSR like the first to trust greddy when they were new and let their company grow.....
