As soon as we nail the one at AMR we'll release videos, otherwise any customers who bought just the turbo to have it tuned locally able to post anything?

What would you guys charge to upgrade a set of V12 turbos, assuming I send in the cores to you first?

We would have to get them in to see what is available. Hard to tell without the turbos in our hands. Could be $1200ea, could be $2000ea or more. We're working on new turbos right now where we have to make custom reverse rotation compressor wheels at $600 for the first wheel, so it all depends on if we can use parts already developed or we have to make things from scratch.

Let me know

Thanks

Very interested in the development of this turbo kit! Once AMR completes their tuning, will the software be switchable between stock and tuned? If so, will there be any evidence of a prior tune if I take the car in for service? I assume the turbo upgrade itself won't have any visual changes since it's based on the factory hardware, correct?

I bought the car as a CPO with unltd. mileage warranty thru 2022...so I definitely don't want to burn that one lol

AMR flashes the map directly to the board, so it's not detectable via OBDII scanning. The only way the dealer would know would be if they drive it and logged boost. AMR also keeps every Factory OE map for each customer in case you ever need to revert back. It is not switchable on the fly tho. Thanks

FWIW, if there was a major failure the first thing we are instructed to do is pull an EEPROM log from the control unit, so any flashed changes would be seen.

This would only happen if the engine blew up catastrophically and somehow raised suspicion though, it's not done under any normal circumstances.

We would want someone who could install the turbo and head to AMR for a tune. Get some more results with different mods. You up for a road trip?

$1295 - plus core is our expected price. We have been selling it pretty consistently worldwide for people who are tuning themselves. Just need to get the test customer back to AMR for a final tune or find a new test customer.

Hey All, the current test customer got into a car accident and is no longer able to move forward with testing/building the AMR tune around our turbo upgrade. Anyone else in the area interested?

You really need to get a tuning partner in Australia, I have spoken to a few people like myself who want this upgrade to happen but the fuel and climate differences here will make your tune useless to us.
