Really? Cause mine has the new high flow intake(currently under developement), the racing exhaust, high performance intercooler and more!
It also has dinan "packages" -s-335, S1-335 and S-2335. Not sure how it's the "same shit" as 330 since it doesn't even have ONE part for the 330 in this catalog... jagazz! |

yea i got mine aswell.
HIGH FLOW INTAKE: under development RACING MIDDLE EXHAUST: under development second set of cats are gone and it gets a high flow x pipe. they say that the front cats are still in place so it can pass SCCA showroom stock emissions test and so the engine wont throw the check engine light.(probably the infamous 02 sensor check engine light front the cats) HIGH PERFORMANCE INTERCOOLER: under development 93% increase in total volume, comes with larger connecting tubes and is a direct replacement with minor modification. HIGH CAPACITY OIL COOLER: of course guys kno about this. PERFORMANCE ENGINE SOFTWARE: flash- old news LIGHTWEIGHT FLYWHEEL: which is on there site now. performance brakes by brembo: old FRONT TOWER STRUT BRACE: under development

I got mine too...
Naturally I was curious about the IC, so I called and spoke with Phillip. I was told that the IC will also come with an accompanying ECU flash that will only be availiable to those who purchase the IC. The flash and IC should allow boost to stay higher, longer, and without potential damages. Apparently the new flash and IC will put approx. 15-30 HP and TQ more than the current ECU flash to the wheels.
I was told the the flash, IC, and shroud would retail for approx. $2,000 (total) and "should hit the market in about 30 days". Sign me up!!! |

Don't get me wrong I WANT this to be true. But how can they charge the same price for the IC and flash that they used to charge for the flash alone? Would those wishing to upgrade get the IC for free?

As I understood the $2k is for a package...IC, shroud, and new ECU flash. Supposedly none of these components are available for purchase separately, regardless of what you already have. IE, if you already have the current ECU flash you will pay $2k for the IC and new flash. If you dont have the current ECU flash it will be $2k (total) for the IC and new flash.
So no, it seems as if there is nothing "free", rather, less to spend if you haven't already purchased the current flash. |

Wicked, those were my initial impressions too. I believe that I asked specifically enough to ascertain that the situation I described was in fact the case. As far as I'm concerned this is merely speculation at this point. I'll call again when they open on Monday.

Thats what I heard as well but if the upgrade is $2000 as mentioned in previous post and the original flash is $2000 the difference is $0. Does that mean that existing flash customers get a intercooler and flash upgrade for free? I seriously doubt it. I will give them a call next week and see what I can find out.

It's probably not the same flash, it's soley a flash to let the boost stay up higher due to the FMIC.
My guess is it's a FMIC flash, not the Perforamce Enginer Software, and probably adds said HP on top of the current flash HP. I want to see the intake, HOPEFULLY it's > $1000

Mattscott, this is as I understand it!!! The new flash is supposedly not something that can be upgraded to...it is solely for the IC and comes only as a package. I was told that the end result of the IC package will be 15-30 HP/TQ more than current software.
I'm not sure how anyone can see anything as "free" based on the way I have attempted to explain it. Again, as I understood, the IC package (IC, shroud, and flash) is $2k regardless of what you currently have. I will call again next week to confirm. |

Perhaps the IC and IC fash can be purchased for $2K and adds 15-30 HP/TQ over the stock or flashed set up? In other words you still have to buy the base flash separately if you want whopping power for a total cost of $4K.
