We will see, 2 things driving me right now are cost and schedule... I WOULD like to be able to drive my car some time.... but still have tons of work to do... and with the end target I seriously doubt if it is even remotely a good idea to try to get it out before the end of winter...

If you guys wonder why I didnt want to post too much infromatiion about the company....well this was the reason...to prevent people from calling them directly and tieing up their phone lines, asking questions like are you going to offer it with a KKK hotside and ultimately making us look bad to them (like we cant handle tech support)! So thank you for that! Appreciate it very much!!!!!!!!!!!

Comp Turbo will not be offering this turbo with a KKK hotside but we will. Just like we do with the Precision turbos.

Actually it could not spit out the bearings into the intercooler piping or intake at all.There is a backing plate which prevents that from happening. The worse you could expect is debri from the comp wheel grinding agaisnt the comp housing which would still be bad!

Thanks

Well I can tell you that with a T3 hotside...you are looking at $1994.And that is with a modest mark up.

With a T4 hotside it will be $2054 and still witha modest mark up.

With a KKK hotside.$2254. Still a modest mark-up but the KKK housings cost more and then we have to machine them so it will drive the cost up

Good to see the prices. For oil less turbos ill be very very very interested to see the results for the longevity of the turbo. im guessing they have already done lab test you think any of that info could be given out?

As soon as you buy, install, and test one, they'll be able to give out the stats.

No 3L YET.. but I am trying to set the proper stage for a 3L... all supporting cast members will be there... fuel, stand alone, exhaust, turbo... the list goes on... then the 3L build can begin if I get a contract renewal!

Well, I guess my decision is driven by my new up-pipe... TIM.... hint hint....

Stats will follow completion of my build, till then... nothing for the RL community other than speculation and guessing...

You can enjoy the car with the 2.5 in it while the 3l is being built. Then when the 3l is in you can cut me a deal on that fresh Chris White 2.5.

Well you see, I have this N/A with almost 100K on her... and all these stock turbo bits that will just be laying around.... full turbo exhaust, turbo, fresh motor, intercooler, pipes... etc..etc..etc.. every part of the engine system is being replaced, so I will have a car in need of new fresh power, and all that fresh power being replaced... hmmmm what should I do?

In reality, as new parts come together, old parts WILL be sold off....
