Redline turbo kits?

I'm sick of this little guy turbo making my Sky slow, is anyone releasing an upgrade kit that comes with a tune anytime soon? I know theres at least one, but theres not much info on it. I want to make at least 400whp

My redline is at RPI undergoing some evil experiments. I'll let y'all know as soon as we have something. Should have some info soon.

Yeah I already called RPI but they were pretty vague. I asked if they had any tunes for the turbo upgrade and they said I could get it custom tuned (but afaik, there isn't any software that can do a full tune) or run it on the stock computer. I asked if any fuel system upgrades were needed and they told me no.

Maybe they're right but going for more power with a stock tune and fuel system doesn't seem correct. Maybe I'm just old school and the Redline is capable of big power with just a turbo

Well, I've been experimenting with my car since day one. They used my car as the test vehicle for their R1 tune. That went very well, but with upgrade money burning a hole in my pocket, I want more.
So, I ordered a custom manifold and big turbo.
Yes, the tune will have to be custom and NO internals will be changed. ...for now.

This is nothing new for RPI so I dove in head first. If all the parts fit correctly and play nice with each other this could be something they will roll out in the very near future.

Dejon sells one, baldturbofreak on the solstice forum sells one, as above RPi is working on one, and Hahn i think is working on one.
