I forget to mention that sorry guys. We bought 2 Kits and they give us a huge discount and they gave us two supercharger clutches free and the cost of them for both are 504 Euro ( $676 US Dollar ). the Basic price for the kit is 7000 Euro ( $9386 US Dollar ). We've got a Discount for both from 14000 Euro ( $18795 US Dollar ) to 11000 Euro ( $14767 US Dollar ).

yeah its about the same as the stage 1 kit..... stage 2 is a different ball game..... you cant compare an entry level kit to a stage 2 which adds oil coolers, intercoolers, not to mention 500hp easily..... most making quite abit more ;-)

g-powers stage 2 would be substantially more ;-)

G-Power update

AFR: OK
Cold Start Issue: OK
Engine goes off sometime by itself: There is a new software updated version!
A delay while shifting: Also there is a new software updated version!

now I'm happy a bit. They said that the issues we have won't harm the engine and that is the best thing. ECU will be sent to G-Power for the update. the other upgrades I'll be doing them later on and will post the difference of every upgrade regarding HP gain. BTY, I drop ESS an email and they were helpful actually he asks about the AFR and Temp. of Oil, water, and weather ,he says you should be alright.

This week I may do a dyno runs before we send the ECU's. Runs will be On pump gas and Race Fuel VP100 unleaded.

goooodd!! im glad ess were respondent to you :-) told you, your AFRs are great imo.... right on the money..... g-power should release an uploader...

us ESS guys have the option to buy a handheld flash unit that allows up to keep 10 tunes.... Ess will even make you a valet map so the car is limited to 2k revs!!



very nice option imo... i will be obtaining one soon. i would like ess to alter my tune to take advantage of my higher boost pulley..... :-)
