The $829.99 is for having your turbo re-vamped and freshen'd up. I havent discussed bundled pricing with wester on this yet. We have to work out the details still. I may actually send my turbo to him for his 08' to develop the tune firsthand.

Turnaround time is 1-2 days.

BTF - just curious.....

Is your wheel upgrade comparable to the S-200 series BW? S-256 perhaps?

Oh hell no! lol. The s200 starts at like 55mm inducer bore. The GT3076R is in that playing field.

This one has a 46.5mm inducer bore. It's 3.25mm bigger than the stock compressor wheel. It's about .75mm smaller than a garrett "disco potatoe" or GT2860R.

Wow, just looked over the first batch of compressor wheels for the upgrade. THEY are SOLID BILLET! What an pleasant suprise. The wheels were expensive but at least for a good reason!

Now that his Dyno will be in place soon BTF could give us some numbers with this upgraded wheel and a tune.
BTF will you also work with GM roadster and PCMforless?.

Very interesting, I really like the pricing too. I'll have to put this on my to-do list.

I believe BTF had said once before he had an exclusive deal with Westers. I'm pretty sure it would take a good bit of time an effort to get those other groups part swapped and tunning time as well.

Brentil,
PCMforless posted already they would like to work his upgrade.
Let's face it, at this point Westers tune is high price compare to the other 2 new entrants.
If they can prove their claims of RWHP and Torque then why spend over $600.00 for literally the same output.
We are now talking about an upgraded turbo plus tune for about $1000.00.
Specially if the combination can give 350 BHP and 370 Torque.
Now couple that with the new GMPP sensors and we could be seen a lot more.
Granted you must invest on a new IC to extract the max potential, but even without it you could easily be on the 330's BHP.

Are you talking crank HP or wheel?

Yamatr3,
When I use BHP is at the crank.
You would have to go with BTF other larger turbo to achieve 350 RWHP or higher.
With that setup it would put out more HP at the crank than the LS2 you have on your Solstice today.
We do need to start seen some Dyno sheets from his setup, this one in particular.
BTF has now some competition from another supporting vendor, although they also have not shown any Dyno sheets.
Is to bad that ALL these folks are so far away from Florida.
