Angry Vitesse

I've got to say that I'm pretty upset with John.

Not because of his outstanding customer service,
Nor his outstanding products,
Or his patience with neofytes asking stupid questions

but because he negleted to mention ,

that I would be suffering from whiplash under acceleration,
that my tires were going to be melted off the rims,
that the car now sounds and feels like a jet on take off,
that I'm going to be getting lots of speeding tickets,

AND I haven't turned the boost up yet!!!

can you believe the nerve of the guy.........................



Joking aside IMHO John is an invaluable source for the 951 comunity

Thanks John

Man... I need to get a 2nd job so I can get some of his goodies.
Honestly, I was really looking fwd to placing an order with him this summer or fall
but I have to put a hold on all things as it doesnt look good for my plant.
They keep moving lines out and it may close

I've got the stage 2 . I can't imagine your stage 3 , it must be a trip.
After I work out the kinks and get it tuned properly I'll see If I can't find a good dyno shop to see what it's putting down.

ok, you got me with the "frown" and vitesse; my first thought was someone has lost their F'g mind. Great to hear Tim, yeah you know everyone likes to see dyno sheets. I can't wait to get a ride in jwl's 2.8L, Vitesse Stage IV when it's completed in a couple of months.

Thank you guys, much appreciated. The Stage 2 turbo is a blast to drive (so I hear), very fast spooling and it should be good for 380-400rhp and a wide area under the curve. A dyno chart will be great to have as I don't have one on a DynoJet.

John, Do you have a physical location? I am thinking about doing a NASA and PCA DE in August at road atlanta... hopefully. I would like to see one of your kits etc... Do you think there would be any turbos at the DE which would have your stuff. I have heard from peachtree folks that the region has its fair share of 951s.

If things go well I'll be at the De in the fall at Road Atlanta. If so I'd be glad
to show you the stage 2 kit.
