I don't think anyone is bothered that you're "releasing" more options for the Z platform, however, you currently have another group buy for a different turbo kit going on several months and that thread sees very few updates (I know you've updated it recently). Did you expect there would be no upset customers when you announce another turbo kit when the previous newly released kit hasn't shipped yet?

All these kits are basically interchangeable with just different turbo/intercooler/piping/fuel options, so I understand that announcing it while the manifolds are finished makes no difference and can actually benefit some customers who would want to upgrade now, but to some people this is going to be perceived as releasing many products and not following through.

You should consider dropping the attitude from your replies and perhaps instead explain that this is not taking focus away from your other kits.
when I was in their shop in August and Sept, looking at everything they have going on, the MHI kit is only one piece of their picture. They're finishing up theanifold conversion, doing a V8 swap, they have an FRS in there, a Juke, I was told about the fuel starve kit they were working on back then too. The MHI kit is a waiting game now on suppliers. Outside of customer cars and fulfilling orders, R&D is happening all the time. These GTX turbos were also mentioned way back then for the white dragon Z. When it really comes down to it, The GTX turbo market is pretty small and the only major difference from what they have already are the turbos and fuel options. GTM or any of us can't control how people will take the news or an announcement. All it is is information.
