No turbos, this is the HKS GT570 (for 570ps of power) Kit:
HKS aluminium hard pipe kit for R35 GT-R
HKS silicon hose joiners
HKS wastegate actuators for standard R35 GT-R turbos
HKS Electronic Valve Controller (EVC) boost controller
HKS dump and front pipes (delete all catalytic converters)

Your correct there was no upgraded turbo in that GT-R and in fact I don't know of any GT-R that has upgraded turbos at this time but it won't be long I'm sure before someone does a turbo kit for the GT-R.

I think Carlo misread it and thought they had a HKS Turbo upgrade on that GT-R.

Hey Carlos

Hows it going? Long time since we have talked. Hows that Z06 holding up? Mines in the garage for the winter and the GT-R is at AMS for the winter while they install some goodies in it

People really thought that the GT570 is a turbo upgrade wherein it really was not. If ever someone would come up with turbo upgrades, it might be HKS. There is already an ARC intercooler kit for the GTR. I am thinking of getting a Mines custom tune for my ECU later on.

It looks like the launch control won't be missed that much. It also seems like it doesn't take much to let the GTR breathe better.

Wonder what it would run using launch control?
