When you want to razz someone and you have a great sense of humor like those Ozzies down under, I suppose great minds think a like.

If I wanted to razz you those are the words I would use, looks like Hymee used them too!

Looks like my joking did too!

If he is, he knows it.
What will really amaze people, I think, is how tiny the axial-flow unit actually is.
It really makes for a compact installation.

This is not an understatement. Doesn't get HOT like those Turbo's.

Looks cool, runs cool.

Sure it does. Its under the hood, so it gets as hot as everything else.
Plus, anything that generates pressure makes some heat - the axial just doesn't make much heat because it isn't working very hard in this application.

Turbos don't present a real heat issue until you place then right next to something that doesn't like to be heated. Even then, it can be mitigated to an extent by thermal control counter-measures like wrap, coating and shielding.

Mounting one near the exhaust manifold (like my setup and the GReddy kit) does nothing measurable to the under-hood temps in normal operating circumstances.

Gheeezzz, how'd you get that picture? That's the new compressor having only been built about a week ago. Like Rod Stewart says "Every picture tells a story"
There's alot to be seen in this picture. The new volute is obvious but what else is there?

The official introduction will be at Seven Stock in Oct.
