Hi PARAGON
I have talked to them and a guy they recommended in Dallas to R@D a kit for H2 for them. They do not have a design for a kit at this time for H2. I have the email somewhere from STS but, they got right back to me and asked Me to talk to the guy in Dallas. He has done some R@D for Pontiac and did write ups for some mags on that project and another project. It is very possible i may go with STS as the guy they want to R@D is very interested in doing it. He is talking to the STS marketing Dept. to see what they would throw in the deal as far as kit and Him furnish His labor and get some magazine time by writing an article for them and letting them place in what ever mag they want. He said He likes doing it as it is Promo He can not afford. He seems actually interested and I'm suppose to talk to Him this week again. So if everybody wants to hang on I'll be the test case and let everyone know what happens and what I think of it.

I have been reading about the "perfecting" of turbos recently. The near elimination of turbo lag allowing for power to show up lower in the RPM band. I even think they are showing up on some drag cars now with sounds as if they are going to be permanent.

The Squires system showed up here a few weeks ago and that's what got me to studying the subject. The Squires remote mount system reduces the heat issue and they can run smaller impellers which provides the boost earlier. In effect charging the the intake pipe even at idle but with electronic control allowing for fingertip control of the overall amount of boost.

It seems like with the turbos, they have overall created induction that can create tremendous more boost but keep it in check by using wastegates and electronic control. So, they have smaller impellers creating boost at a lower RPM and then able to control the top end of that boost using the wastegate/electronic control.

I am no expert, engineer, owner, tuner, etc but this stuff like this always intrigues me. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
