well, I would pass on this idea if it ever became a reality....
4 lbs crusing on my setup would be crappy, esp. when I only run race gas.
Tuning issues if something fuel related fails-I would rather be in vaccum then boost granted its not alot but still, gas cost, constant wear, heat,etc...not worth the trade off imo,,,,you can always brake boost or downshift when rolling...off the line...twostep, nitrous if you want to launch fast. Also, most of us who do drive on the street dont mind a little lag to keep from breaking the tires loose like that all the time....those who makes good power.

There's a solenoid that allow you to adjust to your specific needs. Thanks for the input I'll let him know that too much HP is not a good thing

I agree with vaccume at idle.

why not have it adjustable? Im sure a very simple computer could control the solenoid

huh....

if it costs the same to manufacture or less than a GT45 then the price range should still be similar to the GT45 plus some for the R+D aspect of the formula. if you jack up the price too much then you simply will only sell a few here and there. when determining price it is a touchy subject, if you have a good product and have a high price then you will sell a bit less, if you have a good product at a reasonable price then you will see your product on more cars but you will make less on each induvidual unit. so... if this is an actual true case then it just depends if you want to build a "ferrari" or a "corvette".

me for example, if i know a product is grossly overpriced then i simply won't tell people to bother with it unless they really want to fork over the cash so you lose the business of average people on budgets,

I dont recall where I said too much hp wasn't a good thing. I believe even my old setup probably is more power then most have New setup is going to be even more.

I thought about a turbo with an electric motor turning the compressor.
Already been done with limited success.

i still don't see why bothering with this thread though...

you already know people would be interested and asking for interest irregardless of price people are going to say yes until it comes time to pony up the green. just like many other things i'm sure this will die off and we won't hear anything of it again.

if you really want to come up with a revolutionary product then just do it, post up proof and let the people line up rather than get everyone antsy in the pants over something that is still developmental and hasn't even been tested yet.

This is a typical sales pitch to gain pre-orders or investors. Gotta hype the scam somehow.

that means that either they do not own the rights to something they are trying to modify, hence it is open to anybody, or

it something that was developed long ago and they are waiting for its patents to expire so they can re-issue them

I have a few other investment that needs attention so I'll update once needed. The Harley will be hitting the drag strip in 2 week, I'll tell Coxxoc to take some video. Like I said before this project is not going to take weeks but rather months. Stop with the scamming crap, I posted this thread to find out if the project is worth an investment. Since the Harley been tested with success I decide to proceed with this project.

BTW: I got a supra TT donated for this turbo project.

Finish it and prove it no use in asking for interest when no one knows what it is (aside from a fast/lagless turbo). As it stands right now you are getting more disbelievers.

Butt Plugs

I recently spoke with a guy who told me that that ******** Skip basically installed them on his FD without his permission, then just added it to the bill. I'm very glad that loser left KDR........Dave's too nice of a guy to be associated with people like that.

You can tell the creators of this supposed magic turbo have absolutely no engineering background at all. This is funny...

explains alot with the video of the rednecks and the harley with the MAP port turbo....

why are they using a motorcycle as example to try and sell a 'fast spooling' turbo anyways... it also didn't appear much faster than any other Harley i have seen. that is if this is the company who is at the basis of all this.
