Message "breathing in hot underhood air directly off the turbine"

but you never mention that the compression ratio needs to be changed, except when someone directly asks. To most this means rebuild time.

I am just giving some suggestions, TRUST ME, If I have learned anything it is that if you sell a product and do not put ALL of the information up front, you will have many unsatisfied customers. The problem will be made worse because many people will buy this because of lack of research or knowledge.

They will either install it and run stock 10:1, or they will be pissed because the relatively cheap turbo kit requires at the cheapest a new shortblock ($3000) or a rebuild of their engine (nearly, if not more than $3000).

Again not flaming, but unless there is some great way to cool the intake charge(water injection may be a good idea) and a cheap way to lower compression (do not say put on a thicker headgasket, that will screw up the cam timing) then I do not see it being a good idea.

Feel free to email me if you want suggestions, or just to shoot some ideas past me.
