He didn't really know why but assured us that all of the other HKS turbo kits came complete. So, don't go on a headhunt just yet. I got a good laugh out of it though, I was wearing a badge that said Turbonetics Inc on it, but flipped it around before going up to the HKS/Garrett/Precision booths. His comment also followed my comment about not being incredibly excited about another HKS supercharger kit.
I also specifically asked questions on the GT Supercharger, but didn't get much info. They said it was very close to the same design as the Rotrex unit, but should operate slightly more efficiently due to a change to the design of some orbiting balancers of some sort in the unit. They said it should be good for a little power and efficiency, but wouldn't be a big power upgrade over the old Rotrex kits.
Unfortunately I was there on the day that the HKS Japan and UK guys were all there, and didnt get to speak with any HKS US reps which were slated to be there the following day. The HKS Japan representatives spoke little or no english.
We also took a quick look at the new HKS knock amp interface which looked pretty nice.

HKS hasnt proven it self well with the Z......it would be to random for them to pop up out of the blew with a real power hitter..

Think I can get a hold of whoever that is and order a set directly from them?
