Default 928 Turbosport- anyone running their kit?

They were supposed to hit the streets in October and I am curious about updated performance #'s and/or issues.
Feel free to PM me.

Mark Robinson is the guy you need to contact. The kits are just about ready to hit the market. Looks like a top notch kit. He's been working on this kit for some time now and the test results are impressive.

Thanks for the Kudos! Do a search on this forum for the "928turbosports information" thread: it tells all. Kits start arriving next week, next weekend is the confirmation fitment, then I have quite a few kits shipping out in the few weeks following.

I would rather hear from the guys running them than the guy selling them... YMMV

No, give it 2 weeks. I'l have a production kit on my car within then, & others will have shipped by then. It's about to get a lot more press...

Seriously Pmotts, do a search for my general information thread: lots of pictures, information, prices, & power projections. I fully plan to have the most complete, versitile (upgradeable), best looking, & most powerful (HP & TQ) forced induction kits on the market, all for the lowest price (compared to other options). I already have side-by-side dyno comparisions to SC kits & strokers.

Thanks for considering,

Mark

I actually have 2 kits and am considering whether I would rather go Turbo than TS on my second GT. That's trolling?
Getting info from people using the kit as opposed to getting it from the seller is normally considered smart... maybe they do it differently in Alaska

C'monn Shane, he's a gear head like the rest of us..

Anyway, as of yesterday I became a customer and will be putting a stage 3 with upgrades on my 8:5:1 forged motor. Hopefully, with a lot of help from Mark, this will come together in a month and we'll have some dyno #'s and time slips soon after.

Sweet!

What did you use to get forged internals on your engine? Been looking to do this very thing to Heidis' engine.

well, when you're thorough, you look under the car as well as under the hood, so I must say, BOTH!
