They say 5,000 installed. Anyone know someone who's installed this?
I am not a spirited driver, but I wonder if oil starvation on hard cornering could bean issue? And what does it do to oil capacity -- do you need more now that you're partially filling the tube with oil squirting down it?

Flooding the IMS shaft is not necessarily a good idea, plus this kit used a sharpened punch and hammer to wack a "precision" opening in the end of the shaft to let it flood with oil. As it has not been out that long, I seriously doubt the installed base number.
