sc help for a newbee

Hi all, my first post, so please be patient. Just bought a 06 elise which I love, but bought it knowing I wanted to add FI as soon as it had its initial run in. I am ready to buy the tripoint kit, or at least that is what I think it is called. It is the one with the greddy blower. Someone on this board has installed it, but I can not find where to purchase it. Was the write up I saw a prototype? Any help would be appreciated. I want to add a blower, for under 8 grand hopefully and that kit seemed to really be it. I dont understand why lotus wont sell a kit that would retrofit to the elise? It appears they can use Exige components, with some modified intercooler. Well, thanks in advance for any help. Rich.

Go to their site

Check out the tripoint site. Contact them using that info. Ask about their kit. It is not posted on their site currently.

laters,

thank you!!

Thank you very much. I checked their site, and got confused when I saw nothing on this. I did a search, but didn't find those great posts. It sounds reasonably priced. 4750, and 600 for a the ecm reflash. I will call them tomorrow. Thanks for the help, Rich.

i think at this point they've only done one 06 - kaz's car - but there are two guys in toronto who are getting the tripoint kit. you might want to pm kaz directly for first hand info.
