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.

As for some people possibly perceiving us as releasing many products and not following through, we had actually mentioned the GTX version a while back and talked about the T25+ turbine housing before. In fact, there are several of our past customers that have been interested in upgrading to the new manifolds with the T25+ housings and GTX turbos. The release thread is a formality that describes more about the work that we have done and what we are formally offering as part of the kit as well as the pricing.
Offering the GTX setup as an optional upgrade to the people on the group buy at a drastically reduced introductory price is simply presenting them with an opportunity to get even more bang for their buck if they want it.
The GTM brand is all about offering options and not boxing people into a limited setup. We also offer all the supporting modifications to accentuate a wide variety of builds under one roof. As such, it should come as no surprise that we are constantly pushing the envelope and developing more parts and please forgive me for being proud of what we do here.
Speaking of which, here is a sneak peak at the Twin Fuel Pump we have in the works:
This setup allows for up to 2x Walbro 400lph fuel pumps to be run in parallel for big power E85 setups. It also acts as a surge tank (inside the factory fuel tank) and has a unique setup to prevent fuel starvation with a relatively easy install. One of the best parts about this unit is that it will be very affordable and is very easy to configure for a wide variety of builds: from a naturally aspirated track build to a full on, big power, E85, forced induction build.
