Default Supercharged/turbo'd GS's

Just out of curiousity......How many of them are out there?

I know that Mr. J has a S/C. Mariuz has a TT. I know that RMM had about 4 test cars with S/C's on them. I tried searching but after going cross-eyed reading about the subject, there's no clear answer as to how many people are still using them.

I just want to know from everyone that may have or know someone that has FI on their GS.

Anybody know?

Top of my head, I'm sure I'm forgetting some.... assume you're looking for GS4's (there are several GS3 turbos as well)

There are at least three SRT TT GS4's

Mariusz, Lexciting and one other

I think cong is still waiting to put his on. As for mrsypher, I must have missed some news. No wonder he has been kind of quiet recently. I know he wanted to do it but did not realize he went ahead with it.

BTW, how do you like your Stage 2 kit? Any feedback? Was there a post I missed?

Hmmm, my fingers don't work the same way yours do

3 SRT TT (GS400) Mariusz, Lexciting, other guy (Ken).
3 SRT T (GS300) I didn't think MrS pulled the trigger so I'm not counting him, but lexlyf has one, plus bdragon and cong
1 active SRT S/C (gs400) Mr Johnson
3 MIA SRT S/C including Mklity's which was a different variety, itsallgood, wcirksena. Did not count Mo's custom SRT S/C as last time I saw it was disassembled
2 RMM S/C's Roenick7 and jcraimair1

Hopefully some of these owners will chime in on this question. I know the SRT SC kits came with an SRT piggy back ecu, and Im assuming the TT set ups do as well(they better for 35 grand). Has anyone added a piggy back unit on their own, such as the Super AFC, or similar? Im trying to see if they work well on the GS.

Oh, i haven't been on the board too much but i saw Mrsypher talking about it, and thought he would heave it by now.... The kit is pretty good but still need some fine tune, i guess i was one of the first couple poeple on this board bouf=ght the kit that why i got those ugly welded manifold instead of the nice cast ones like cong28 getting . Beside that and the really needed Valvebody upgrade i would said i love it. If any one need any info on it just PM me, i'll try to answer as much as i can...
