The 89 turbo I bought had a "100 hp" Power Hause kit in it when I purchased it. That was one of the big selling points. It did not Dyno anywhere near that level of improvement over stock.
When I called them to try and get some clues as to why, they (Power Hause) blamed it on the install, the car in general, everything but their kit.
Also Autothority (the software providers) were ZERO help and they actually accused me over the phone of trying "to get trade secrets out of them" and kept asking me if I was they guy selling copies of their chips on ebay. When I explained that I had bought the car with the kit in it they said "well your not the original purchaser of the product so we don't have to help you" and then hung up on me...
In my opinion they are way overpriced for what you get. There are much better to be had for way less.
At this point I have removed every trace of their products from my vehicle.

bought a car with one of their kits already on it, it contained, K 27/8, autothority chips and maf and some other stuff. Kept the turbo but ditched the maf because I wasn't able to adjust it like I wanted and autothority was the exact smae way to me as to ISPC, ********. Turbo is nice though FWIW

do you think Vitesse kits are much better than Powerhaus kits??? I want to buy a complete kit, get some power without trouble, i want my car to be a daily driver with power. That is the reason I dont want to start buying one thing from someone another thing from other place. I will buy it a complete kit from a single source. Thanks in advance

Vitesse stage III BABY ! ! !
Lorax is right "If you want plug and play, call Vitesse today."
The support is one of the HUGE aspects of the Vitesse stuff. I have literally emailed John form the track with a symptom and he has diagnosed it correctly on a Saturday night no less.
Highest recommendation here.

I'm running the Powerhaus K-27/29, Auto-"Un"athority MAF and chips along with 52lb injectors.
Powerhaus was great until they got my money. Support continued for a while then never returned my calls. Auto "Un"athority is a joke.
I must say, I really enjoy my set up. I wanted a street car with tons of torque (387lbs at the wheels!!! @ 19psi). The Powerhaus stuff delivered once I put the Split Second fuel controller on it (thanks Tim @ SFR!). The turbo spools right now and hits peak torque at around 3500rpm. I love it.
