I stopped by GTM today to get a tour of their facility and find out more about their new MHI turbo kit. Sam showed me the equipment they use for the in-house fabrication all of their various parts. He also popped the hood on their demo car (the 370z with the 18g kit installed on it) so that I could see the kit up close. He answered all the questions that I had regarding the MHI kit.

Sam then offered me a ride in the demo car. All I can say is...wow! That car is a beast! It drives just like a normal car at low rpms, but when you really get on the gas, it's a whole different story. The car slams you back into your seat and just takes off. Don't get me wrong; the car was never rough or jerky. Even though the kit throws you back into your seat, the power delivery is still very smooth and precise. I was also surprised by the responsiveness of this kit. There was very little, if any, turbo lag. Needless to say, I was thoroughly impressed.

Thank you Sam and Mike for taking time out of your day to answer my questions and showcase your new turbo kit. I'm excited to be on the Group Buy and I'm definitely looking forward to having one of these kits installed on my car.
