    How close are the kits to being done and for sale? Do fuel pump or injectors need upgrading? How is computer modified? What about the mass air? I'm sure an upgraded meter would increase the performance with a sc. Any pricing ideas? Thanks!!!

    FWIW, all the stock bits that you make mention of work fine with the Alpine kit up to 5 lb boost.

    Fuel pump, injectors, ECM, MAF, all stock, no issues.

    That option is sometimes associated with transmissoin replacement...the next weakest link down the line.

    Greedy? There will be options Our 400K+ kilometre test mule will be getting a probgrammable ECU and boost to destruction once the base kit setup is done - although if we see 300kW at the wheels on the dyno with an undamaged engine we may stop there......or not!
    The answer is more power! What was the question?

    Sheesh!

    OK people!

    Here we are well into 010 and still waiting....manifolds got cast, there was an issue with a core moving which was only discovered when the CNC mill broke thru into a void that should not have been there, and I'm quite sure there has been a lot of New Year procrastination in SA..... however, the first full batch of parts should hit Fedex soon, and pics and detailed postings will follow once I have real 'what we all will be using' parts in my hands.

    I shan't say I'm excited, or make any reference to timeframe, there is only so much egg on face a bloke can stand!

    ......

    Kidding Rob...

    Anyone who has ever had any dealings with alpine, wether directly or indirectly, knows what a valuable commodity patience can be...

    Good job so far...
