Big announcement!!

We are pleased to announce another feature to our turbo kit system!

EcuTEK Tuning software will be available as an option with our Turbo Kit that has some great features listed below.
  • Boost control. Yes, that means the factory ECU will be able to control boost which means having different boost levels via map switching. This eliminates the need for a standalone boost controller.
  • Boost Cut protection
  • Hybrid MAF/Speed Density Tuning
  • VVEL and VVT Tuning
  • Flat Foot Shifting
  • Flex Fuel (E85)
Stay tuned for more details.

We are pleased to announce that we are now accepting payment since we have a better idea of when the kits will start shipping and are getting closer to our estimated shipping target of June/July. Shipping the kits will be first come, first serve. So once the kit is paid via one of our payment options, you will be added to the shipping list in the order received.

Also, we will be starting another group buy for everyone that wishes to have our new baffled oil pan.

The ecuTEK will be an alternative to uprev or will it work together as one? Also what other modifications are needed to convert to E85? I'm working on my finances to get on the list so don't end it before I get on please.

Just want to clarify something here since we are getting questions whether Ecutek will be replacing UpRev. This is not the case, we are still going to offer both of them since they are both good options. The reason we are also offering Ecutek is because it offers a lot of features that improve the overall functionality of our turbo kits. It is simply another option for people.

Also, it's not a question of whether or not Ecutek will make more power, but it does offer features that improve the experience.

Ecutek is an alternative option we are offering. It and UpRev are mutually exclusive in that you can run one or the other, but not both. As for E85, we will be putting together a system with an aftermarket ethanol content sensor that will allow the tune to adjust on the fly depending on the ethanol content in the fuel.

I just spent a few hours today ingesting all the info I could find on ECUTek. Seems extremely promising. A good track record and satisfied users on other platforms (particularly Suby and GT-R).

Sam, is the plan to ship the kits with the ECUTek software option right from the start when the parts are ready to ship or will it be offered at some later time?

It is an option. You can have your kit shipped with either UpRev or EcuTek.

Is the EcuTEK a stand alone computer/tuner option or similar to Uprev flash tune?

From their website it's like Uprev Osiris, purely a software flash for the ECU. It sounds like it is being offered as an alternative to the default Uprev Osiris in the Turn-Key kit. It's probably a safe bet that you can also pick this up as an extra item if you get the Tuner kit. My understanding is that GTM is only using ecutek to flash the ecu right now, NOT to actually do boost control. But ecutek CAN do boost control somewhere down the road, with additional mods.

Sam, I also have some questions:

will GTM be offering addon kits to take advantage of ECUtek's boost control feature using the factory ECU? I'm a bit confused. Is this even possible? Seems like you need many things that it may be easier to go with standalone boost controller: vacuum lines from compressor+pressure sensor into ECU; ECU output to solenoid; vacuum lines from solenoid to wastegate. does the stock ECU even have extra I/O pins?

Also, is the "boost controller" (or lack thereof) that comes with the tuner kit basically a tube on the compressor outlet to the internal wastegate?

Finally, how do we get in touch to officially purchase the TT kits?

thanks, much obliged.
