This group buy will address cruising surge caused by turbo mismatch between the compressor/turbine, ie fast spooling turbos. It does not address WOT surge and some part throttle surge (> 5psi). This kit will do a couple of things for your cars performance. I have seen a 1.5-2.5MPG increase in fuel economy on my own car just from adding this kit. It will get rid of annoying surge while cruising on the interstate and in turn increase it's lifespan as surge is hard on the turbo. It also will not cost top end HP as other anti-surge solutions will.
This is a complete kit and is for blow through and speed density setups as testing for these setups has been proven to work. Draw through hasn't been tested yet and the setup is slightly different.
The normal price for this kit is $350 and that includes shipping to the lower 48 only and paypal fees. I will ship elsewhere but, there will need to be a price adjustment to cover the additional expense. If we can manage to get 13 kits sold I can knock that down to $315 which comes out to a 10% discount. If this list populates to 13 we will procede. I can't offer my base price for any less without 13 commitments so it's 13 names or no GB.

Can you provide some pictures and a parts list and operation information?

The kit includes valves, filters, tubing, fittings, hose clamps, wiring, switches, relay, in-line fuse, thread sealant, mounts, and a tap. Everything required as I have advertised it as a complete kit.
There are quite a few videos from both of the current users of this kit on in this thread, fastfalcon and myself. http://www.3sgto.org/turbo-engines-systems/7922-td04-hard-pipe-fmic-surge-issue-thread.html
Fastfalcon actually ran his car in a few different configurations showcasing this fix actually fixes the cruising surge.

If needed I will be on the list. I have gremlins needing abolished first.

I'm interested, but I need to have SOME idea of how the valves, switches, etc work together before I can seriously consider sending you $300+ :) I don't need a parts list (which is a pretty laughable thing to ask for I might add) -- I just want to understand what I'm buying without digging through some other thread.

I'm interested in more info too. Just a bit confused on how this works and why it's so secretive. Makes me worried about sending $300...

Parts list is on the downlow as he has spent the r&d to chase, and come up with a solution. The parts are readily available, which leaves his time/money compensation open to zero.

Coop, I honestly couldn't say it any better. Thanks!!!
I figured all scepticism would be squashed once fastfalcons review went out but I guess that wasn't enough proof. Price is always a concern and I do understand that but, the parts list I provided above is all you will get until you buy. The function has been hinted around quite a bit so if you are so inclined to read a bit you might actually figure it all out on your own. The only challenge I have left without explanaition is sizing. It would take me 6 kits to just break even on my setup, so I guess if your concern is whether you are getting ripped off or not I hope this answers that. Fastfalcon paid what I paid for parts and the only request I gave him was to give it a chance and write an honest review afterwards, good or bad. He seemed pleased.
A draw through setup has not been tested on yet but I am eager to offer my cost for testing purposes and a fair review after.
I highly doubt this GB will ever come to fruition but, to cut costs some I figured out how to get the price down to what it is simply through bulk ordering. I make nothing more on this than I would on a normally priced kit. Thanks for looking.
