Stephan: Would you like a car to analyze? Here's my deal. I will buy the upsolute and you can analyze my car (I'll give you most of a day). Then, depending on what you see, I'll decide on the stage 4GTR upgrade I am planning over next winter. Maybe you'll give me a little discount for giving you hard marketing data if I go your route. Interested?

Tim,
Sounds like a great idea. I would love to do this and you are a gentleman for offering!

Heh this was me in Summer;P Going to the German AutoFest and getting Stephen on board changed all of that for me... I don't think you'll have a tough decision to make. Upsolute WILL make your car faster yes, but I noticed a much bigger difference with the IA Kit.

How do you distinguish the Garrett Modified K24 Turbos from stock K24 Turbos? I was just wondering - I have a couple of those bad boys in the garage waiting to be installed this spring.

Mike

Look at housing, and the wheels. The wheels are a lot different than a KKK/BG wheel. The biggest give away is the 4 ports in the bearing jacket. Two for oil and two for water. The KKK/BG doesn't have these.

Are you saying the Turbos you sent me are water cooled? How's the dealer ever supposed to figure out how to install these?

No no....you don't use that port. It is just there. You can if you want, but no reason to. We don't.

That's interesting. If they have question when they are installing, I'll have them call you.

You know it. Almost 24/7 support. We need to talk before you have them install it anyway. They need to understand how I would like the turbos handled in regards to pre-oil and startup.

Sounds good. I will get in touch for the details as we get closer to install date.

Mustang Dyno last week of February
 

If you want to do the test on a 4wd mustang dyno, that is not a problem, we would simply have to wait an extra week. Below is the email I received from Mark Boden at fall-line motorsports:

Lou-

If we could schedule to have your group come in while Mustang has their
people at our facility I would only charge $100 for up to 6 runs or
$50 for 2 runs. This way you would have the best cost as well as the
Mustangs own experts available for testing.

A/F ratios would be calculated. This offer is available to your group or
any individuals who would like to take advantage of this offer.

I am about to schedule Mustangs visit, please give me dates that would work
from the last week in February - 1st week of March.

> Great, I will pass on the info. How much are you thinking for the group
rate? Also, do you have a definative date, as I may be out-of town after
February 27. Also, and I mean no offense by this question, but will someone
be onhand who is experienced enough to handle such a test. A/F ratios also
would need to calculated.

Lou,

Lets do this. I will call Bill at the exchange today for a Wed dyno day with all the parties above. I have scheduled a truck to pick my car up on Tues. I will meet you guys on Wed. As we speak I am installing the kit into my car. So lunch on Wed guys??? Also not only will I be there on Wed, but Todd will be flying in and will be joining us.

I don't know anyone else that would do this in this tuner community. You rock Stephen!

Well SHANK - at least you have the best looking wheels on the block!

I just want to say that the whole Chicago gang appreciates Stephen and Todd doing this. Unbelievable customer support.

Stephen, will these guys have to pull their driveshafts?
