You think the VQ crowd would be jumping through loops to get it done or so say “it to expensive I can’t justify it” gtr crowd has money and money is what it going to take to go to the next level and stay relative. Looks at Cjm and his intake manifold, his oil pump gears and now the Dct. The demand was/or is there, but nobody willing to fork money to help the movement. Just sitting around waiting for shops like
Soho to spend the crazy money on the R&D.
Ecu tek is a very capable piggy back with custom mapping. But a lot of tuners aren’t using it for what it’s worth either.

Your concept of demand is totally off most people just aren't going to spend the money on a stand alone. Now I get it you have a passion for them using SOHO as and example would not create the demand you think it will. First off demand is dictated by the customer not shops like your example above. Shops invest money in cars because there is a demand in the aftermarket to modify a certain car/platform not the other way around. As someone pointed out to you before this is not the 90's where a stand alone is needed to go fast. GTR's Mustangs corvettes the new supra are cars that can run 8's on the factory computers. What do all these cars have in common? Customers that pay for parts to go fast this creates demand for multiple shops and manufacturers to make parts.
Now if SOHO came out with what you stated yes there would be people that would jump all over it. That however would not create the kind of buzz like some of the other platforms.
