Hey guys,

I am wondering - what are the fundamental technical differences between the 310HP MC-Express kits shipped in 2006, and the newest "290 HP" kit that's out for 2008-2009?

Any help is appreciated,

PistonBroke

My understanding is that the std kit must be safe and functional for everyday use, and when upgrades is done you come closer to the margins.
1: 310hp kit was an upgrade incl. a fuelpump for the std 260hp basic kit, 310hp stood for max hp the Mitsubishi 16T charger is suitable for.
2: 290hp kit is now the std kit, the fuelpump is included and the charger is upgraded to an Mitsubishi 19T.
3: If you want to upgrade an 290hp kit the charger chokes @ about 340hp, no need for HW upgrades, only fuel with enough octane for the boost.

I'd say about 20hp.

Sorry, I had to. But really I have no Idea
