This is when we decided to work with them on a Rotrex supercharger kit utilizing the same water-to-air intercooler. Last time we talked they were waiting for Rotrex to get back to them on compressor maps, three months ago or so...

My business partners and I have been reluctant to put R&D costs into something without a responsive partner. However, once things get underway with RbD we will actively seek out a partner with more experience and a credible reputation.

For example: Oscar Jackson and Oscar Jackson Jr. of Jackson Racing have recently developed a mix of Rotrex powered supercharger kits for the Miata and Honda Fit. With their reputation for excellance and OEM quality/reliability we will likely seek them out.

Thank you for your patience. Our own mouths are watering as well and we really do want to see some boosted Boxster's. It will happen but it will be done correctly first and foremost!

Cheers,
