I see the GruppeM replica's from tegiwaimports.com are now available for £300, they look awesome from what I can see on the site but has anyone got hold of one yet?

I too have noticed them, Been waiting for ages, Now they come out im skint, I think Tegiwa will make alot of cash here, The intake chamber looks much bigger than Gruppe M's, Im waiting on dyno results and sound vids first though

Does look good.

True, need to see a few pics of these installed now. If they are 300pounds these will sell very good i think.

They are avaliable now (well 2-4 weeks delivered) But yer i see your point if this does the same job, Id get one of these in a heartbeat

Can't see Gruppe M being happy about this. So who actually makes these KIRF's

Probably worried about hydrolock, probably added a bit to the one on the GM for their own piece of mind and because there was space to do so.

(even though no ones experienced any issues from proper GM)

It's been discussed mate, GM haven't patented/copyrighted their design.

This was confirmed by Tegiwa when they first discussed with me prior to them becoming registered traders.

Could be just what I'm looking for, need some results and fitting guides

might pick one of these up when ive got some spare funds

If I was in the market for an induction kit It would either be this or the ARC for defiante. Really is no point in people spending big money on a Gruppe M now.......watch the 2nd hand prices plumit!!

i agree somehow but im not sure prices of 2nd hand gruppeM's will drop tbh. look at spoon ETDs and the tegiwa replicas. basically identical but they still hold value. at the end of the day your buying a gruppeM not a tegiwa copy. you'l still get JDM lovers/brand whores amongst us. i suppose only time will tell....

Excited to see this on a car, has anyone bought one yet? never thought i'd say this, but I am now interested in one of these (now only slightly expensive) carbon fiber dustbins

they aren't here for another few weeks yet.
