Hell I would think that any Bosh replacement valve would work - Why not get one off Ray, I know they work.

Ok, got some bad news and some good news. The bad news is opcons discontinued the preasant model of supercharger now offered and we have only 5 left and there in transite from them. The good news is there new model works with minor adjustments to the parts. After these 5 are sold the question is should we resume production or not with the new model blower? Id like to here some impute from owners and potential owners on weather to continue or not. Personaly I love the kit and what its become and id like to see it available for others to enjoy. On the other hand it can be a limited edition wich makes the ones in existance more valuable. Its not going to be hard to make the new ones fit so if you ever need to replace it for some ungodly reason, you can without much of a hastle.

As a potential buyer who is about 6 months away, my vote would be to adapt the new blower, although I'm saying it for purely selfish reasons.

PLEASE CONTINUE with the blower!!! I'm not an rx8 owner yet, but will be later this year, and plan on this being one of my first mods.

SO basically, pettit likes money right? No blower, no money from me.

continue --updates/upgrades are inevitable --heck the tuning and the adaptations are starting to just get good---cant stop now!
I would even suggest in upping the price from what it would be and including a water meth kit and intake temp gauge.
MM everyone contributed something--i appreciated and still appreciate it all.

I would say continue......others deserve to feel the exhilaration that I have felt with the Pettit s/c.

Hay Moon, how many first gen s/c were produced? (from Pat's to present with the 5 you still have).

How about we all forgive and forget the bullshit from last year and acknowledge, as OD has, that we all brought something to the party? At least Cam is gracious enough to be interested in what BHR now has to offer the Pettit Crew, from what I understand, and is willing to discuss it should I have the time to visit you guys. Hell, I may just send a box of goodies y'alls way as a professional courtesy.

When Jeff and I finally get around to releasing our turbo kit then the tables will be turned and everybody can hammer us about it. It'll be fun!

I have nuthing against you. I give credit were its deserved. As far as im conserned I only see you as a benifit to tell you the truth. Ive got a pretty good idea what your working on and im intrested in your results. Im not going into the Jeff thing again but I see him as a hater. If he thinks hes so rite why didnt he build it.

I appreciate your sentiments, Moon. I can assure you that Jeff is not a "hater" and he didn't build a supercharger simply because he has a different opinion on what the proper application is for a rotary. In the same vein, I am motivated to develop parts for BHR that, in my own opinion, are superior in quality to what is out there now. If I can't improve on a particular design I will try and create an equal for lower cost. As such, I have to follow what my own principles dictate. Jeff is the same way. What would people say if I installed a Pettit Kit on my own car while also being involved in the design of a BHR turbo kit? It might just happen....ya never know, as I am known for doing some wacky stuff. Have you seen the BHR pajamas and new shop location yet? Look at the pix in the BHR Product Line thread of the shop Jeff and I "opened" and tell me he's a "hater".

I can't wait to see someone's dyno plot with 13-14lbs of boost.
