This thread has died, I think people have given up in some sort of aspect. I guess TT it is for me.

Are you guys serious? I can't believe how impatient some of you are. There are bound to be some hurdles in bringing a kit like this to market. Hang in there and I'm sure it'll be worth it.

I must say though, I'm curious why the TT kits came to market sooner than the supercharger systems, TT's are much more mechanical intensive builds...

TT kits sale, big numbers (big price tag).
Plus I think with the design of the 3.7 it made the SC setups a bit tougher to design a good, solid, powerful setup and added some R&D time.

I feel twin turbos are far more appealing to the import market than supercharger kits, hence why they seem to appear first.

Coming from the domestic market, supercharger kits were always the first on the market.

Twin turbo kit came out sooner because they had all ready done it on the G37 over a year before the Z34 chassis debuted. As far as the SC having problems, i would guess some of you guys aren't used to seeing the info as it becomes available. usually the companies just wait until the product is ready to sell before giving ANY info on it.

Yeah that and the dual throttle body had people scratching their heads for a while to figure out a way to do the SC setup.

^^^ are you guys f'ing serious!?!?!? Keep your panties on fellas! Sam doesnt post in 48hrs (over a holiday weekend no less!) and you monkeys say the thread has died, there must be problems with the S/C, blah blah

It's a monumental R&D undertaking to put something like this SC to market (1st may I add) so take it easy, be patient, and the let the pros do their job. We should be fortunate that GTM has told us ANYTHING prior to the official release.

New builds always take a lot longer than expected. It took them about 8 months to get their TT into my G sedan even though they already had it running on their G coupe.

Fitting a SC is a lot more complicated. In addition to plumbing and other stuff, new brackets need to be designed and machined. A TT "just" requires plumbing.
