i know the guy named herik or something posted on team recently and has reported he is still making progress tapping into the stock ecu. i'm a little hazy on details but i think he is able to datalog and control fuel cut. i know he is working on the s4 t2 computer but i guess it's possible to use his knowledge to help make this kit...

This is a good idea, and one that we have contemplated making in the past. The market is there...



HOWEVER, I am curious to see how much boost the kit is planned to make. The NA engines can take a good 8psi with good tuning, and I'm sure it'll drive great. The problem most people have with boosting the NA cars is NOT the NA engine..but the driveline. NA trannies don't take much power...especially boost! Also, base and SE guys lacking the LSD will be upset when all that power isn't evenly distributed...I await to see how they overcome fuel/driveline/boost control, etc....



not knocking the kit though, just posting my thoughts....
