Two updates.
The lightened crank pulley should be ready with in 6 weeks. Of course the prototypes will be ready sooner but being realisticly i would bet you would see this part at you favorite dealer in November.
Attached is a picture of our Subaru WRX Pulley. The MSP will be virtually identical in look but will off course include the Cog ring attached for the timing sensor.
As for the Down pipe.
I see a lot of chatter on the forums in anticipation of our possible down pipe. I have had many conversations with our designers about the down pipe. We are having difficulty designing the part to produce horsepower and still fit with existing customers parts.
Let me explain.
As far as i can tell every exhaust manufacturer including ourselves makes a cat back or down pipe back exhaust which bolts to the stock exhaust flanges. So if we design a down pipe which will work for customers who either have existing exhaust systems or choose to use and competitors exhaust, we have to use the factory flanges.
The problem is.....Even if we make the pipe out of 3" stainless, built with the coolest waste gate air diverter, it will have to attach the stock 2.25 inch flange. Unfortunately this will kill any horsepower that the fancy design may have generated. (uhm)
Of course you can argue that theoretically their may be a SLIGHT increase in power with this design, but I do not think that will be enough to justify the high price of this complex unit at all. I think i would have to recommend the customers money be spent on other improvements which will gain more horsepower for the dollar.
Sorry for being so long winded. (yawn)
Please let me know your thoughts.
