We're still looking for one in the Chicago/Great Lakes region, so if you know of a qualified candidate, please send them our way!

he just stated this so please let him know if you are available as a prototype car this is a once in a lifetime oppurtunity.

Ive called and talk to Kris, she cleared up some crap for me.

Ive been leaving voice mails for Bill Hahn, Jr. and ive been getting calls from "Dave". Dave said that he let Bill know and they wont use me because of my location (im about an hour away). However, ive been getting pm'd by Kris, and she said he's interested. so i called Kris and talked to her about it, she said because i have a 801 area code (utah) they thought i was IN utah. She told me that bill still wants me, and he will be calling me within the next few days. He's had a crappy season right now with the rain and whatnot, so his time to test and tune things is limited.

But I will continue to let you all know on the status.

Ive been keeping in contact with bill via email. Im actualy going to be calling him in a few minutes to see whats up.

He's kinda backed up right now with the funny weather, the upcoming SEMA show, and something he reffered to as the "three headed monster" (dont ask..i dont know..but im going to ask him )


So, its up in the air, I dont know much about turbos(kits). But, im thinking it shouldnt take too entirely long to convert the 2.4L Stick turbo to the 2.4L Auto turbo. But I could be 100% wrong.


But if im right, it shouldnt take too entirely long since they do have a 2.4L stick turbo roamin around.


my car is completely stock (performance wise), so it will have a good basis to start from to learn the gains from this kit.

Once again, I will keep you all informed.
