We stopped waiting about two years ago. Could be tomorrow, could be never. JR is quiet on the subject so who knows. Someone else told me the brackets & pulleys might be available, just not the rest of the system. Dunno if that's true or not. I have wto production TSE kits.

Sorry guys, slow to the party, I was out of town.
Andrew, yeah you're right, true peak torque is higher, but we see 95% of the final peak torque number typically quite low though, which was what stuck in my mind. This the setup currently in my car and you can see what I'm talking about (sorry for the terrible pic):
Per earlier discussion on K vs. Rotrex, vs. turbo: yeah, N/A power will almost always cost more. The obvious benefits are less weight, less heat, less complexity, and fewer failure points. Emilio, you've certainly proven the value of this on your N/A BP builds. Our core market is all the guys that want that N/A life. The TSE and Rotrex stuff is definitely top-notch. I consistently recommend the TSE kit any time someone says they want a turbo BP setup.
Also worth noting - most NB guys these days are spending about $8500 for a basic K24A2 swap and making north of 220whp if they use our reflashed ECU (even when re-using their existing 2.25" exhausts). We've worked very hard to increase affordability, quality, and simplicity over the last year. But yes, an NA owner wanting a full custom stainless 3" exhaust setup can quickly spend $10k, and usually will see 225whp, 180wtq with a full tune.

I'm glad there's all these swap options out there, something for everybody. There's a local NA with an S2K powertrain that sounds glorious, I do wish my car had that scream.
