As I said I'm interested in a exact week time frame now. But if you guys would read back some they already said middle/ end of July. Just being its getting closer and the Hoilday is over it would be nice to know a one or two week exact date.

At least I know GTM makes great products. Plus GTM still has to send out an email on the full details of each persons kit. Such as what BOV and waste gates we want. So right there takes time. But I'm not sure of exactly how many people have paid. I just know I'm in the top three if not the first.

As my car is there waiting to get the finished kit installed, I expect that movement on it will be a good sign for everyone else's kit.

I haven't had an update on mine in a long time. Last time I got anything was when Sam was telling me how hard my wallet was going to get owned to replace the cooling mods that wouldn't fit. I could have bought one of these kits instead I've come to accept the fact that they are slow on updates and their timelines are 3x longer than the original. But like Spohn said, their work is The Sexy

That and I'd much rather have it released later and done right than just rushed out the door to meet a timeline! Until then, I will dream of boost and make cool noises with my mouth when I drive.

Hey guys, I think we were very clear from the beginning that we are shooting for June/July. Keep in mind that this is a goal and many things really have to come together in order to give an exact time frame and a lot of it is simply beyond our control. The only way to give an exact 100% definite time is once all the parts are on the shelf and all we have to do is package them and start shipping kits out. Unfortunately, since we don't have a foundry in house, it is impossible to do that. So basically, it is a waiting game. To give you an example of how things go, we were planning on releasing our high volume oil pan a couple weeks ago. The oil pan is completed and all we are waiting for is the baffling inside the pan. The manufacturer told us that their bending machine was out of commission and it took them 3 weeks longer than they initially told us to get us the first part. This is just one example of how things go. The good news is that all the design work and test fitting has been done. All we're waiting on is for the production parts to arrive. Personally, I think things are moving at a great speed considering the complexity and the quality of the parts that we are making.

On a brighter note, as you guys may recall that we only redesigned one manifold to avoid drilling the head. We are pleased to let you know that we have actually designed the left side manifold with a similar design to the one we showed here a couple weeks ago. Also, all our O2 sensor housings for the internal wastegate 2.5" outlet and the external wastegate 3" downpipes are being cast in stainless steel. These are some of the extra touches that we are doing to add a little extra icing on the cake. In addition, we designed our 3" downpipes to be modular so that you can switch from 3" test pipes to 3" high flow cats with ease.

Just as an aside, our GTR conversion manifold is going to be done around the same time as the turbo kits are ready to start shipping.

Overall, we are doing the best we can to get this new kit in your hands as quickly as possible.

I'm totally fine with you doing what you have to from engineering to suppliers to make me the best kit possible. I know some people are understandably eager to get their hands on it now but I don't mind being last on the list if that's what it takes to get all that for the price.

Since I cant seem to get anything from gtm does anyone know anything about where to tap the plenum for a meth injection? I remember reading it somewhere online but cant seem to find it now. Since my TT is installes and bugs finally worked out Iam looking to safe guard the motor but read somewhere that instead of tapping both intakes for jets that only one could be used in the plenum.. Mike did you forget about working me up a price for my meth kit??? Sometimes I feel gtm may be getting too big for their own good but Iam guessing time will tell when these 100+ people have to call for help and get blown off....

I installed mine in the intake pipe behind the MAF but before the throttle bodies.

Baer383 what kit did you go with and what size jets? Iam sorry people I know it sounds bad of me taking about gtm but in fact I am one of their biggest fans. I only wish they had more time and people to help others who have vested in their company to be able to help and follow up when needed...
