Anyone have any experience with this product? The "supported vehicles" page shows 944s. It seems a bit kooky but.... Quite kooky actually.... But I searched and found no reference to this anyone on rennlist, so I thought i'd ask..

At a flowrate of 500cfm, the pressure in the manifold would be over 2 bar. YEAH. RIGHT.

Stock 2.5l 8v is in the ballpark of 240 cfm.

Ive scooped better designed webpages out of my cat Fluffys litter box. All of those electric superchargers are a load of steaming BS.



And for the record, yes one of my cats is named Fluffy.

HA! Leave you in the dust. My car is slower then, well a tired 951 with an old turbo and a tired wastegate. In the last year I have gained about 10 l b's, neglected life, and been in law school. Next summer it is on like donkey kong though. I'll have some money left over from clerkship, all of which is going directly into the money pit addition/future track only 951.......

I did install a set of travis's arms with the track kit, and a 928 bias valve. So, if I can somehow make you boil your brakes, which is pretty much impossible, I will have superior braking power since mine won't fade as fast. So, you still win *shakes fist* but only in the short term!

That's what i figured but i thought i'd ask.

Paper isn't up yet. The journal is at the publishers now and should be out relatively soon (probably about a month or so). I'll send ya a link when I am notified of its existence.

My rule: if it sounds too good to be true, then it is. Unless it's a cool Porsche for less than $3000. In that case it's a 944.

Hate to do this to you, but we now have the same brakes. Superblue fluid, and cross drilled zimmermans.

How bout I just won't crack any lawyer jokes.

Well, maybe one.
