Keith726 has been using one on his car for several months now. You might want to PM him.

Rogue : I'll post when it arrives, This should be a bolt up deal.

hosrom_951 : Newer Tech. you got it. while the Lindsey seems to be the natural fit. It also appears to be lacking evolution. however I haven't got any personal experience with it . The internal boost control, hose line type & fittings caught my intrest.

KuHL 951 : Thanks I'll look him up to see how things worked out..

I'm using this along with their BOV on my build. I don't take shortcuts, and they won many awards at SEMA. These awards are not given away.

I have used them on a few projects. They will defiantly be giving tial/lindsey a run for their money in the next few years. Very very nice quality.
