I'm guessing that's because this product is so new.

I'm also guessing that they can't wait to get those figures out so they can verify/ validate their product.

People are going to be very skeptical until that happens or they know somebody who tries it.

I believe that there's just something about the complexities of fine tuning a turbo system that people love.

It might be difficult for them to overcome that fact.

well, if it was around $500 I would buy it just to try it. I would never switch from a standard turbo setup tho.

Let's wait and see how many of them they sell.

You just might get your chance.

I still think thats a better deal than a ventalation fan for marine engine bay going for $500

I remember when that first started those things were going for a ton of money.....

Its just not the same, i could never conform to something like that....

I bet is really worth it after you start frying alternators because they cant keep up with the massive amperage those things are drawing... I know they only kick in for certain jolts or whatever, but still gay IMO.

Its like NOS/TURBO combo... hit the switch and you got your ELECTRIC TURBO woooWowowoowow

I can only imagne what the sound like... uhhh
