Message turbo kits. We've been doing it for several years. For some reason Garrett as well as our competitors selling Garrett GT based kits don't feel the need to take this measure, however I suspect we'll see them follow suit. They usually run a year or two behind. Even though the GT675RS kit and the Sport 700BB kit are based on the same turbos, this is one of several advantages of the Z1 GT675RS kit. Of course the producer of the primary competing kit and their die hard supporters also insisted that the larger .86 A/R turbine housing was the only way to go until fairly recently, and now almost everyone has come around to see the light on that. We released the GT2860RS/GT675RS kit for the Z32 before anyone else, so of course a marketing genius one upped us with the "700" name, which obviously makes that kit sound superior. We've considered changing the name to avoid a loss of sales to customers who don't know any better, but have decided to leave it as is.
