@PRL Motorsports when you find the fuel limitation. I wouldn't be opposed to a fuel pump upgrade or a methanol kit

I'm hopoing you guys do a whole package! Big turbo kit, internals, and a clutch.
The kit will not include a clutch kit sadly. You could purchase one separate though, I’m sure from them or another vendor.

How do you know that they couldn't include it? TBH, their past turbo kits included having the options to add on things to the kit so it's possible.

I believe they mentioned that it wouldn't include a clutch, but possibly could be added on the kit for a discount.

Our kit will most-likely follow suit with the rest of our kits and be an all-inclusive, no "hacking" required turbo kit that includes everything needed to install. Supporting mods (clutch kit, fuel system upgrades, etc), however, will not be included with the kit. These supporting mods will be listed as discounted drop-down options because some people may already have a clutch, motor mounts, etc. With that being said, we currently have Clutch Masters clutches on our site and will be following suit with other brands as they become available.

Engine interals will also be available on our site shortly.

Do you anticipate that this kit would be compatible with your current FMIC and DP/FP offerings? Or will different ones be required?

We had a thread kicking around with minor details about the kit but now it’s gone, but it’s on the down low for right now. Their current FMIC, DP/FP will be compatible with the kit if I recall correctly.
*edit* everything but the downpipe, lol silly me.

We will include a specific hotside charge pipe to ensure that our turbo kit is compatible with our FMIC kit. Our turbo kit will definitely not be compatible with any current downpipes on the market due to turbine housing change. This kit will include a specific downpipe made for our kit that will most-likely mate to the factory front pipe connection.

Do you foresee it being beneficial to purchase the PRL 3 inch front pipe with this setup, or would the factory front pipe yield the same power?

Would these soon to come engine internals be something recommended for a fully bolted and stage 1 tuned si or more so only for those after big turbo power?

A 3" front pipe will definitely be beneficial with a big turbo kit. We will try to psot numbers when we get there.

It's hard to say. The factory turbo is capable of quite a bottom-end torque punch, which is hard on internals. However, making 3-400 hp will also be stressful as well. Though, we haven't seen too many (or any firsthand) failures from a full-bolt-on stock turbo car.

So we managed to make some hits on the dyno today and make some impressive numbers with both pump gas and ethanol on the dyno with the help from @KTuner and @VitViper. We will be posting numbers and data in the morning. Does anyone have any guesses on what kind of numbers she made?
