Will there be a sale for the new Gen 2?
The next batch is currently in the manufacturing stage and is due in Jan-Feb of 2015. You can't rush perfection. I'm patiently waiting on mine, hope all is going well with senkak's and there were no manufacturing defects. I would rather wait to make sure it's right and not have to send it back. I am interested in the gt500 tb and if they made any improvements to it with the new model, and if the one I pre-ordered and paid for in November for Black Friday will show up as the old or new revision or if I will be given the option to upgrade before they ship?
Do you have any idea what month it is? It's March now, lol.

Yup - almost half way through March! Was just quoting the status on their website.

Woo hoo! Just received my tracking number!
Congrats that is an awesome PB!
What are your observations between the gen1 and gen2? From driving to performance? Did you make any additional changes or was the new time blower only change? Please share any thoughts on your seat time with the new gen2 if you wouldn't mind!
The Gen 2 case is the same as the Gen 1. The difference is in the internal machining.
The Gen 2 will flow a bit more air, runs a bit cooler. it a bit more efficient and has an EGR provision.
Enhancements to an already well designed package.

Yes we know all that! How does it feel? Could you tell a difference?
My only drive time has been on the track. No around the town yet.
Drivability and power will be similar with the advantage going to the Gen 2
Quick question guys,
Has anybody ran the 2.5 pulley successfully? Im in the process of upping the boost and going e85. I just dont know if I should go with a 2.5 or 2.6 till I go with a 3"/4lb.
I have metco idlers with a 90mm aux idler

I would not suggest the 2.5" pulley. The 3.0/4lb on E85 will be deep in the 700 range!
I am at 4000ft above sea level. I probably wont see 20+lbs of boost at my elevation, hence I dont believe Ill make over 700hp with a 3/4lb. If i go with a 3/6lb lower to be 21-22lbs, will I be over spinning the blower?
How much hp did you make with the 2.8?
No idea. Still running the canned tune from VMP.
I'm getting ready to install my GEN 2 and i'll be doing an installation thread.
