With all that we have learned about the CARB approval process in our experience with our Supercharger Kit, and the fact that our Twin Turbo kit for the VQ35HR got TUV approval in Germany (their CARB equivalent), we believe we have an excellent chance of getting our Twin Turbo Kit 50 State Legal.

The CARB legal version of our Twin Turbo kit will share many of the characteristics of our original kits as well as a new element: Garrett GTX2863R Turbos. These new turbos are an excellent all around performer and will be offered with the .86 A/R exhaust housing only. The GTX series spools up quicker than the older turbos and has better boost response in addition to having a broader operating envelope thanks to the advanced aero that the 5-axis milled compressors afford. This gives the end user an excellent turbo that is well matched to the breathing characteristics of the VQ37. This will or course be our Turn-Key kit and will come with fuel system and engine management upgrades.

This is very exciting news and we know that we are being very ambitious and honestly there is no guarantee whether or not we'll be able to achieve this enormous goal. We do think we have a very good shot at it. If you don't try, you never know.
