No, the factories in china can't keep up with the demand. They won't take on any new accounts.

what kind of lunatic would stay in boost for 30 minutes anyways?

I stay in boost 10 seconds at a time, whether it's an inch or a mile.

"now when I turn the turbo on and now my Civic can pass a Camaro on the freeway!" It actually says this in the reviews. Haha. Maybe I should sell my T3/T4 setup and get one asap.

Did I see 803cfm somewhere? How would that only be an increase of 16-53hp or whatever they said rofl. Isn't that about what a GT4294 flows? Whomever buys one will burn in hell for all eternity.

Let the flammin begin, but i have seen a custom "electric" setup for a bike where a very low turn electric hobbie drag moter was used for low boost short bursts. sort interesting but not for a larger displacement motor....
