If imports use this product, I don't.
300 one dollar bills goes to a new cam for me.

Kinda a neat idea, of course I like the leafblower more. It would work but 1psi of boost isnt worth 300$

so your saying that you won't use turbos then?.. Just beacuse an import uses it does not make it bad. The american turbo technology owes all it's knowalage to import manufacturer's refinement. Their are now turbo's that can provide 2 PSI at IDLE!. Do you really think that us Lowly americans would have ever experimented with turbo's had the import scene not shoved their fast as fu(k 4's and 6's in our face?. Not to mention that most the import turbo's can blow us away.

Graeme, check into the money-back offer first. You don't want them charging you a 50% re-stocking fee, and you'd be out $150. A kid I know special-ordered a rebuilt carb from a Strauss Auto store, he paid $300, and as he was waiting for it, he decided he didn't want it. The store wouldn't let him cancel the order, and wouldn't take it back without charging him a 40% restocking fee. 40% of $300 is $120... ouch.
