That's great. I am looking forward to seeing your results. The one and only question is that are you able to match a software in the ECU for this kit for the M159 engine?
Please if you can show us pre and post dyno runs.
Thanks and good luck

Well we never dyno'ed the car before we started but I am sure that there are enough people that have so you will have an idea. We will be tuning on the dyno so we should have some results for you in the near future.

This is very interesting to follow, looking forward to the results. Will the turbos kill the aural pleasure from the M159, because that is a huge part of the characterics of the SLS. Some sound clips would be appreciated when you are done. Thanks!

Their Facebook page says to come by their booth at SEMA to see it but I don't see any real information on the finished product.

Excellent point, I wouldn't shut up until everyone knew about it. I can only imagine the amount of time and money that went into the build.

I know a lot of you want to know details about the build but we are wanting to get the most marketability out of our investment.

I hope to see many of you that are in Southern California come by our shop anytime you want though, our doors are always open to you and one of us will be happy to show you around.

Thanks-

.......if you actually successfully completed a TT SLS and ACTUALLY tuned it and it is running without error codes and check engine light and transmission shifting problems, then u are making a big big marketing mistake by withholding the details and waiting for road and track. Yes road and track has a larger circulation but almost every potential customer for your product is on this forum. If on the other hand the project is actually not COMPLETE, meaning that as is always the case with other vendors, the tuning is not complete and the car has error codes etc, then u are doing the right thing by withholding the information until everything is actually done. Further, should have probably not announced it on the forum by saying car is complete and you are about to start tuning. For members of the forum, that is the usual stuff you here from vendors and never to be heard from again. Why vendors think that a project can be labelled complete or even viable without actually actually successfully tuning the car and having it run properly is beyond me. It would be like the Mayo Clinic announcing a successful hand transplant before figuring out if the fingers work. This has been the experience of forum members with every single vendor that has announced their imaginary TT project. This is why u are getting some blow back.

Anybody heard anything more about this? I am guessing since there has been no updates in a while that there really is no such kit, at least not a working version. I wish it were true, I have been wanting to do this to my SLS for a while now.

I guess it's best to contact them directly to get the real scope of the work

I'm hoping they got it done because a turbo 63 would be nice!!!

If money is not a worry contact UGR. They might take on the project for the right price
