Jan,
I don't know about others, but I would just appreciate a few photographs of the new system, while we are waiting the finished product.

No photos needed, because shitbag companies like ALTA and other companies will try and copy it ASAP.
The Internet is not the place to post R&D info.

Seen one seen them all... It's all covered up any way, no pics are needed... Just more video, and dyno charts!

Having seen it in person it's not much to look at. That said how much of the stock blower can you see....

We had a lot of people at a club event (60 MINIS) today that looked at and commented about what they didn't see...... looked pretty normal to them until we showed them the difference between a stock S and the TVS car.
It sure sounds sweet and pulls like crazy.....
A couple of more details and it should be ....... well, I'll let Jan go from here.

Personally, I don't think pictures matter with this, even if you could see anything. It's taken awhile to optimize it--which in the long run is a good thing. Pictures with the TVS hooked up won't show what's needed for it to work without any issues--let people try and copy, they're going to be screwed. Think Alta can figure it out, or Thumper? It would be entertaining to see them try. Think Sprintex; they still can't get that right, there's not a snowball's chance they'd figure this out.
The only way they'd be able to copy it is to purchase it (which I'm sure they probably will, or at least study a car with one installed), not going to happen just from pictures, when the collective IQ of the potential copiers comes in slightly below that of a carrot (and not one of those big mega-sized carrots, we're talking baby carrots here).

no one is willing to spend the money to do it right. NOR TEST IT ..... I'm still the only to have actually tested the sprintex at a real race track in 100deg heat. (it failed) Running one down the dragstrip for 11sec IS NOT TESTING.......
I won't be satisfied with this kit until the w2a is done correctly and the car running 18-22psi worth of boost...
just want to thank Wolfman publicly for lending his car out for the good of the Mini community. Without it, we definitely wouldn't be where we are today. We are getting there

I like the sound of that. In the meantime I am getting scrounging my $ together in anticipation.

the water to air kits will be done first due to logistics
