as far as i know, it will come with engine management, example: a software license and a good tune...larger injectors are required anywhere above like 3-4psi, and yes the kit includes 550cc injectors if i'm not mistaken, if you run water through the center section you don't really need a turbo timer, and i do believe the kit does not include a turbo timer, because they are not really required, and would only drive up the cost, i think a while ago i mentioned that if there was a group buy, turbo timers would be part of the package, not sure if that's still valid, cause it was not for sure...you don't need it though, even if you're just running oil, just let the engine idle for like a minute before you shut it off, after some spirited driving...there is no boost controller, the kit is tuned for 8psi, that's what the wastegate is rated for...down the road though, it would be too easy to install an inexpensive manual boost controller, as the 550cc injectors will have a fair bit of headroom for more boost, but you would need a new tune...either that or you could put a stiffer spring in the wastegate...but don't forget some ARP headstuds at the very least if boosting beyond 10psi
The auto reflash hasn't progressed much in the last year or so... We started the project almost 2 years ago and honestly as of late it doesn't seem like Brent or Hackish have much drive to resolve the auto tune issue. I think their priorities are elsewhere as auto ralliart owners likely are not looking to turbo their vehicle. Sucks... if this keeps up I'm likely going to just scrap the whole reflash concept and stick with RRM's piggyback. Atleast the piggyback allows the car to run decently, even though its not very safe.

Hehe, believe me I woudn't be jumping to conclusions. 2 years of work with my ecu and it took like a month or two to look at the differing code and actually reflash it with modified code/fuel maps to deal with boost. The rest of the time we spent trying to figure out the issue of the ecu not dealing with boost properly and no progress has really been made. Its rough as both parties have spent a good deal of funds just sending the ecu back via the mail never mind Mike/Brents effort/time placed into figure out whats wrong.
Its not their fault either. Its difficult doing something like this 2000 km's apart. I've got evoscan setup with a tactrix cable, but I cannot log AFR due to having an analog aem wideband (stupid...). I entered this project understanding that it would be possible that nothing might come out of it. The last time I talked to Brent/Mike, Mike's focus was on datalogging via the software rather than the auto reflash.

I sent the info needed to become a vendor to turbokits.com s/n not the website.
So hopefully I don't hear it from the admin , because technically the s/n , the post, and the signature are against the forum rules without vendor status. So I'm putting my neck on the line turbokits.com ,so let's get the ball rolling on this

No manual sportbacks...oh no?
Although in German, this is a must see!
