Has anyone heard of some kind of option coming out for us peasants with the Gen 3 who want to swap to the fancy-pants Gen 5? I can blow my motor with the Gen 3 but I wanna REALLY be able to blow my motor with the Gen 5. Maybe one of the vendors on here or Whipple can throw some knowledge our way on what the options are or could be in the future? Trying to sort out some serious first-world problems here. Thanks!

It’s basically going to be a new kit entirely. At least prior to gen 5, you could use the same intercooler.

The head unit for the 2007 to 2014 gt500 is coming out. So it should work for the older setups too.

I’m referring to a kit that would be for guys to swap from the 3 to the 5. I’m well aware the 5 works for the 15-17 cars. I dunno what all the 5 has that isn’t compatible with the 3 but I’m interested in the possibility of a swap kit of some kind. Throttle body, oversized HE, Bosch pump, fuel rails, pulleys etc etc...I’m sure some of the stuff works but don’t know how much of it does and if it’s worth Whipple to offer a kit to swap of some kind.

I've wondered this as well...like how much of my 10-rib can I reuse? Can I use the 132mm TB until I decide to go full stupid and opt for the 150? Can the heat exchange and dual fans be used or ?

I'm hoping when things slow down there will be a "kit" e.g "I own Gen N, and I want Gen Z" and wala!

Glad I’m not the only one. I’d really hate to have to sell my entire current setup and buy a full new kit. Both labor and parts cost would be annoying. I kind of feel like if there won’t be an option at some point down the road I would entertain just going a different setup entirely if I have to take off the entire thing.

I got one of the kits. It came with new bracket and alternator relocation, which I HIGHLY recommend. You can use heat exchanger and TB. The Gen 5 comes w new fuel rails, as fitment is different.

Oh NICE!!! Are there options on the kit or is it a set thing or what? Can you disclose pricing of any kind?
