Greddy announced this time last year that they were coming out with a street legal turbo kit for the S14 summer of '02.  Well, I don't hear any turbos spooling in my engine bay yet, so what gives?  

I checked out Greddy's website and it says TBA. &nbsp;What the hell does that mean? &nbsp;To Be an A$$? &nbsp;I'd like to get the SR20, but I still live in Ca and don't want to risk it. &nbsp;Anyone know anything? <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/whatsthat.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':whatthe:'>

I hear that one of the guys that works for Greddy is driving around with the prototype in Cali.

But this is just a rumor....... <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/huh.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':huh:'>

The only way to get them to build it faster is to let them know there are hungry customers ready to spend their cash on this kit. &nbsp;Want it to come out now.. &nbsp;LET THEM KNOW!.. &nbsp;email them, call them. &nbsp;Whatever it takes. &nbsp;If they know there is money to be made that they are missing out on, they will devote more resources to it.

Actually, i kind of disagree with that. &nbsp;I say let them take their time, because if they rush it, then you're gona have faulty stuff. &nbsp;Let them thoroughly test everything before they release it, that way, the people that end up buying them first dont end up as beta testers. &nbsp;Turbo kits are madd expensive!!!

i totally agree with FOUR. if it isn't released yet, it's for a reason...not cause the folks at greddy wanna see 240 owners squirm in their seat drooling about the thoughts of a turb. when the kit is good and ready, it'll be released, and that's a good thing...i wouldn't like to get a kit knowing that the whole thing was "rushed"...

Greddy obviously has a good name to uphold. &nbsp;They aren't going to put out shit. &nbsp;It hasn't come out yet, because they are devoting minimal resources to it. &nbsp;Look how fast they release kits for honda's.. take about 8-10 months. &nbsp;It's because they put about half the staff on the project. &nbsp;Where as for our car.. &nbsp;we might get 10% if that. &nbsp;We have a limited production vehicle that has been discontinued. &nbsp;This means they have a limited market that isn't going anywhere. &nbsp;Why should they put more resources on it? &nbsp;Demand is just not high enough. &nbsp;Just because something is done quickly, doesn't mean it will be shoddy. &nbsp;It just means that it takes more man power to complete all the work in a shorter time period.

So, in order to get the kit out faster. &nbsp;You will have to show greddy that the demand is Higher than they think it is. &nbsp;Or they won't devote any additional resources to it, and it won't come out any sooner. &nbsp;hell, if they think demand is decreasing, then they might even reduce allocated resources, delaying it even farther. &nbsp;I mean, the SR20 Craze isn't exactly bolstering their confidence that a KA24 turbo kit will sell like hot cakes when people can buy an sr20 for just about the same amount of money.

I have to agree with you sykikchimp. &nbsp;Maybe just maybe if they get enough feedback from potential customers they might increase the release of this kit. &nbsp;A good example would be the AGX's, popular places such as Summit Racing have them on backorder due to people buying them ASAP and being in such high demand.

Well, I didn't read the post, but I would like to congratulate the only other member of zilvia.net that I know to have put "chicken" in his name. &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>
