I hope it does have bigger turbos. Even if its just a cold or hot side tweak to the current turbos. A bigger trim hot side would be nice... That would make for a easy upgrade for us...ditto on a LSD.

I agree - if a power upgrade is available, it will be strictly a tune (software adjustment).

But not as many people will buy it if you can add a JB2H for 400.00 and make more power than their ZSP.
7-8k makes it a bit expensive; unless the mods other than the tune are significant, you're essentially paying that extra money for a warranty (an outrageously overpriced one) since the performance with existing aftermarket tunes would be the same or better.
