PorscheDoc,

How is the progress on your 3.2? Is the 3.2 similar enough to the 2.7 that there won't be much Development to get it to work as well?

I see on your website that the 2.7 could be available as soon a late April; is this still on track?

Any pricing on the 2.7?

By the way, it turns out that the Toyota MR2 Supercharger is actually on an electric clutch. I believe it's engine-managed so there isn't a button you can push to turn it on/off yourself, though if I had an MR2, a button on the dash (or, like in Mad Max II: Road Warrior, a button on the stick shift) would be the FIRST mod that I would make. Maybe that could be a later "option" you can offer. :-)

Just curious, would another option for a supercharger be using an OEM unit like the one found on those Mercedes "Kompressor" cars? I'm thinking that a unit like that would be made in the thousands and for many years would be available as a spare part. In the case of the Mercedes unit, presumably it has gone through tons of testing, enough for them to put their name on it.
