I apologize for now posting more info. It isn't complete yet, so I didn't want to be here making empty promises or posting BS.

Here's what I can tell you:

The kit will be available in stages... stage 1: non intercooled, stage 2: fmic, stage 3: still to be determined.

The turbo used is good for up to 300hp... it has been tried and true on other vehicles.

There will be room for options to make your kit fit you particular needs.

The price, hp and tq gains will be comparable to other kits on the market... if not better

lightened flywheel is NOT gonna hurt his turbo performance. as long as he keeps up with the revs with his shifts... TRUST me... this is a HORRIBLE misconception... VERY rarely will one ever not help performance, one that is too light will hurt possibly depending on the application. on an engine like ours, the 11.7lb one from ACT (which i happen to have in my car).. doesnt necessarily make more power, although i would argue it does, but it sure as hell revs a bunch faster, and faster revs = faster spool up, so explain your logic on it hurting his performance.. also, lighter pulleys take rotating mass away therebye helping revs as well as power too... there is an actuall mathmatical formula for the lbs removed comverting into x h.p. ... i dont remember it exactly, an i dont want to miss quote like so many people here do... but needless to say... ANY engine (with the excpeption of EXTREMELY high h.p. applications due to the actuall need for mass to move the engine) will gain performance from pulleys.. if he wants to take the risk of engine damage, which could be argued all night, and even i am on the fence with because ive seen them hurt and not hurt and engine.. then thats his perogative....
