My main concern is the TSI unit they are using to control the ECU id much rather see the Mazsport system in place , would it work with this set up ???

As I understand it, Hymee's twin screw blower will run at a constant boost pressure. It will make the same boost at every rpm level as opposed to having to build up power, it is always there. I'm sure I missed something, but I think that is mostly right.

What do you mean? It does have management, the PowerMod from Automotive Control (previously known as the "TSI" unit).

Cheers,
Hymee.

BTW - RG, I'm glad you worked out that was the boost graph, not the torque!

That is the theory. I'll post the practical results when I have some.

You can see there isn't much boost down low. And as it builds, you can see the HP curve starting to go steeper than normal. What I hope to get with the screw is the boost down low as well, so the HP curve will have around the same peak, but it will "fuller" starting at the low end, i.e. more area under the curve.

Anyway, congrats to Joe. It makes some good numbers. A bit "peeky" for my liking, but that is just me. I reckon that is better than the little turbos that are constrictive up top.

Cheers,
Hymee.

do we have any idea as to when this might come out? I know it is hard to estimate when you are still testing, but are we looking at sometime in 2006 maybe?

also, around what cost is the kit? I am guessing around the same as the greddy kit?

DMRH,

I wonder if Joe can make the intake pod anywhere but just behind the radiator.

As RG said, it may suck hotter air.

To be honest - it looks very much the same as the HKS setup. Good number too. Hopefully I will see it in the Nats.

Cheers,
Taka
