VF Tuner - Upgraded Supercharger Lid

[Savanna7]

After reading through this. I’m down to place an order. Have we confirmed this will be in black regardless of the logo (I see your site offers red)? Base JB4, we’re claiming 12 hp, but unsure of tq figures? With higher maps and mods we believe it will unlock slightly higher figures? Otherwise the “guarantee” so to speak would be your stock v lid (7hp and 7 tq) as that is the test you all ran yourselves?

Thank you!

To help out.. I'm gonna go ahead and ask the tough questions to @VF Tuner. I imagine there are probably many who are either on the fence or waiting for warranty expiration. This is not an interrogation and it doesn't have to be perfect. Honesty and thoroughness would be great.

1) Can you describe how the product works and more importantly how it is improved over stock design?

2) I'm assuming this voids warranty, so are there any potential side effects?

3) How much time has been spent in testing?

4) How does this play along with the JUBU cooling upgrades? They seem to approach cooling in two very different ways and in different areas, so it seems logical that they would provide a cumulative benefit with some level of overlap. Can you comment on this to the best of your knowledge?

5) The lid seems to be taller than the stock lid. Is it? and by how much?

6) When will the color options be updated?

Darn... looks really generic

Exactly why design aesthetics are so important on a product that is visible. Never mind free. If it looks ugly or too aftermarket, I wouldn't put it on even if I was paid $800 and even if it guaranteed 10hp/10tq at the wheels. HOWEVER, if the design is pulled off right it could sell like hotcakes, if not right away, after warranties start expiring.

If I was selling this product, I would have 3 primary focuses where I would put all of my resources in during development.

1) Design. You can't underestimate this and wing it. Put your resources here and get something that people LOVE. This is how you guarantee success. Don't settle for less.

2) If this voids warranty, you're asking for a lot from most people. I personally don't give AF about the warranty as I plan on voiding it this month at 6000 miles. However, for most people, warranty is a very serious consideration. Accordingly, I would place a very high significance on making people feel safe about this product even if it is a straightforward product without much risk. Not every one is a mechanic or hardcore enthusiast with years of knowledge. And, people are a lot more sensitive then they make themselves seem.

3) Actual functional benefit. Not trying to underplay this but VF seems to have already got some decent numbers. Yes, it is important and the reason why people are considering it in the first place.
