Car was great, but I just sold it. I was sad to see it go, lots of bloody knuckles, sweat, and tears in that car. This time I'm not looking for as much of a project car due to personal time constraints these days. The Elise fits the bill for me as a great track car that I can still drive on the streets.

There appears to be a genuine lack of low-end grunt with this turbo which, sadly, was something that the Elise needed. Hope the finished product will remedy this.

Are you talking about our turbo package? We have more torque at the wheels at 3000 rpm's then the stock car has at 6200rpm's? No one who has actually been in the car feels it is lacking low end power? What are you basing your information on about low end grunt? You can lug our car in 6th gear at 1500 rpm's and it will pick up and pull strongly to redline. Please pass by the shop and I will demonstrate it's low end potential for you.

I based my comments on the graph you posted at the start of this thread. I misinterpreted the graph.

Apologies.

I got a chance to get a spin in this little monster tonight (well actually this morning I guess) and I have to say that this kit is very impressive, the car pulls from start to redline and through the gears hard. Boost response is fantastic.
