According to him though, in Germany....everything was fine, folks had thousands up on thousands of miles. I am not challenging the gain....50 HP is fantastic and the best delivery for this car for sure is SC'ing but c'mon man....we want to see some average Joe's put this thing on and drive the car HERE. To pull this off the table without some real life feedback is just ridiculous....
1 week I have to report in, does not necessary mean the offer is over... it will just determine if forums are worth the time and money for the company to invest...

the times i hate being in canada. Always missing out the good stuff in cali. I probably would've jumped if I had help for installing it.

It is unfortunate that no one wants to take the chance on this SC. It looks so much nicer than the blitz unit IMO.

Has there been any test cars you've put these on Evan? Maybe you could have some people test the unit, do a few videos and reviews, and then remove them if they don't want to buy it so we can at least get some more testimonies on it? I'd really like to see this kit start selling, and I think just a review from someone would contribute to your sales.

I meant absolutely no offense in my post. In my own mind, i am pretty sure that this is a great product and a great buy. But with only pctures, and the sellers word, you can see why its difficult. As wonderful as it is that these kits have been sold in Japan, it doesnt really help here. Get one on a USDM, test and confirm it,(like stated earlier, even if you take it back off!) and im sure you'll make at least a few sales on here. Every one of us would love to see someone buy one. Best of luck!

Thanks for the input, there are few and far between for US owners, that is one of the main reason why I am willing to take 1 weekend to get 1 persons car going.....If they are as far as Las Vegas, San Diego, or Nor Cal i would be going if they covered transportation costs, I will pay for my own room and board.

return it! they'll get cheaper anyways, whereas the kit will probably not budge on the price for a while

Um yeah, sorry Im not that baller.... Yet
I could knock this install out in the estimated time no worries if this kit is really a-z complete . Im a pretty good wrench and since I sold all my project cars(e30 track car, drag dsm, 450+hp daily 1g eclipse) I've really been fiending for boost/ a "big" install of some kind . All you guys are really tempting me to get this kit, STOP IT !

Boost is good. Next meet, we could take side by side pictures or your PE kit next to my Blitz kit. Might frustrate the turbo loving crowd, however.

If you need a test car to prove to these people that this supercharger works, let me know - I am in Irvine.

I have no doubts that the supercharger works, these Rotrex units are pretty badass, like a perfect balance of turbo boost with blower responsiveness. It's just the experiences of the early adopters which put a damper on things, really. So yes, please, let's see what it can do now
