Hello CORYJAMES! I apologies if I didn't make it clear to you earlier when we spoke but the Scion xB fic harness is currently available with the purchase of our DESCENDANT Scion xB Turbo Kit. We do not sell the harness out-right yet because we specifically designed the harness to work hand & hand with our DESCENDANT Turbo kit.

The DESCENDANT turbo kit for the 2Gen Scion xB has been a project that we have been developing for over 2 years now and we are extremely excited to announce its release. It saddens us to hear that you feel as though we are holding the market back considering we are the only company that has invested the time & effort in developing a product that truly works for the 2008 - 2009 Scion xB. If you have any other questions please feel free to contact us again. We are available at our EAST & WEST coast offices daily and will gladly help out if you have any questions.

Thanks

What holds back the industry is companies copying designs or reverse engineering other companies designs and selling for lower prices. It is a huge risk to put the design and testing into producing a product hoping to recoup the your investment in sales. If companies like world racing aren't able to recover their inverstment and make a profit they will go away.

You can't puy a product from one supplier and ask another to make it work.

There is more to building fast cars than welding and powder coating.

Just the opinion of an angry old engineer whose watched more than one person take credit for his work, And that sucks!!

I feel your pain man. I too have projects in my garage that went bad and are now large paper weights.

I just hate to see someone getting bashed after solving the hardest part of puting a turbo on a car. At least now a solution is out there for your problem. And it may be several months befor you can get the harness, but you waited longer than that for your turbo kit to be delivered lol.

If anything you should be encouraging people to buy the descendant kit. I imagine after their investiment is recovered through the sale of kits they will make the harness available.

That's true. You also need decals.

Any progress on a PnP harness? I'd prefer not to spend $5500 for it.
