The Vitesse kit is available now, while the Guru kit is still in development to the best of my knowledge. Definitely something that I would factor into my decision.

Don't be a fool! John at vitesse gives you an outstanding product with an outstanding service. I had days where I sent 3 or 4 emails to him and he replied to all of them. The kit is almost out of the box, only minor fine tuning. Guru, speak Danno, if you write him an email today, it will take 3 weeks to 5 years for him to reply. He will take your money in no time, that's for sure. Good luck, you are warned.

The Vitesse kit seems to be a nice kit. I will help install one next month, see the wiring diagram I just posted.

Danno is having a couple of sub-contractor difficulties at the moment but he is also a perfectionist; if it "ain't right" he won't sell it.

Chris Cervelli at Technodyne has a couple of packages, as does Powerhaus.

John at Vitesse has been on vacation, not sure if he is back or not yet. Nice kit though. I hope the install goes well on this 86 next month.

crazyracer...I have a lot of respect for Danno, I also understand and KNOW how hard it is to open/start a business, especially when you rely on subcontractors. So why don't you ease up a bit.

Vitesse bar none. The kit works like advertised,it kick ***,and the service from John is simply amazing to say the least. I sincerely doubt,that you will find one unhappy Vitesse customer out there.That alone should be enough.

Even when John is on vacation he replies within 1 or 2 days. Ski, you are one of the guys Danno helped a lot as far as I can recall. Good for you, other people have other experiences, free world, free speech.

MySwiss, I told jwl to give you a call this week for temp sensor, silicone boots, and your hard pipe, so look for an email or send him your phone number to order.

You should have seen the butchering he did to my Link ECU circuit board so he could fit it in a Motronic box...


Eventually, I bought a Link ECU direct from Link, and also a TEC T04E turbo.... I am pleased with the results, but if I had it all to do over again, I would most likely go with a Vitesse Kit. The Reviews have been awesome, they are making a ton of power, and it would have been a hell of alot easier.

Congrats to Vitesse on some great products.

"Don't be a fool! "

I get tired of this "tuner bonding" that takes place with everybody that purchases something from a tuner that they like.... then they try to push it on everybody else.


Where are your dyno sheets (with boost mapping)? Let's see how awesome you car is with the Vitesse kit..... (with no other modifications other than what comes in your Vitesse kit).

PS> I'm not mad at you. Don't take it that way.... I just hear talk and talk from everybody... I want to see REAL measured results to compare apples-to-apples to what can easily be put together using "old" technology (KKK stuff with MAF, etc..)

What "End of Story".

Are you implying that Vitesse is the "end all" when it comes to 951's???

Please... straighten me out...

PS> I can make a Honda faster than a Z06 with enough boost :-)
