Um... Ok..... I am here in South Africa. We did it first in the world to get it running. All I am saying there is a lot of issues and no one has got it right as yet... Hardware is easy... Software good luck..

I don't think Z4mpora is running an HPF kit, he only contacted them trying to get help with the Pro-efi tune. By the way, Z4mpora, please make a seperate thread because people are getting confused, and we'd all like to have one place to search to know more about your cool setup

oh, and proefi and HPF don't work together anymore, as companies (last time I checked there was conflict)

Well I think they decided since most of the people here were not interested in them developing a lower cost kit and kept knocking them they just said to hell with it. I dont blame them. You can lead a horse to water but you cant make it drink

hmmmm strange approach imo... if steve jobs stopped at a bunch of people giving him a hard time, we'd have no apple, a company like afi turn down a project due to afew people saying it cant be done then prove them wrong and have a solid product at the projected price......

they stopped this project because they simply realised they cant do it at the promised price point... simple as really. Id have still loved to see their approach and even if more expensive welcomed another option. Dont give up afi.

But since we're such a small group of enthusiasts 1800 or so in the USA, I can understand that this is enough of a deterrent for AFI. Considering the small lot size, and THIS many negative feedbacks; it can be quite daunting

like i said they realised that the projected price point simply cant happen... whether to blame it on afew negatives posts or not..... thats the cut and dry of it really, even the hpf turbo kit STILL isnt available..... and thats considerably more expensive.

damn i was really hoping this might become a viable option for me in the future, even if it did end up costing a couple thousand more than projected,

i guess goodluck to you guys at AFI
