I got a PM from Isdnique and he said that he is currently working on a project that will prevent him from returning to work on these until mid to late september.
After that he said he will and get them done right!

Guys - if this is something he is selling, don;t you think he'll post info when he has it?
As for FI tuning vs NA tuning, they are 2 vastly different things and work at the opposite end of the spectrum - while a mod like this can help on a turbo car, the gains will not be nearly be as significant as on an NA car. Simply put you can implement a much "poorer" overall design on the intake side of a turbo car since air is being forced into the motor, whereas the NA car is literally sucking the air in

Don't you think that is something we are trying to find out, smartypants? All we have is a picture. Just because it looks like something made by a company that makes turbo kits doesn't mean it is only good for FI applications. The only person qualified to speak on this matter is lsdunique as he is the one designing and constructing this product. We are just trying to keep this thread visible.

Hey guys,
thanks for all the patience!!
I never expected the test pipes and suspension arms to get the response they did, and was previously swamped with orders in July and August. I also had other obligations that kept me from the manifold.
Trust me, I would rather put time into the plenum, but it would not be fair to people who are waiting on orders.
so..... all orders are caught up except for 2, which means we are back in full stride with our developments.
You WILL see a plenum from us. There was no failure....no large obstacles...but what I posted was the very first prototype and we have not even made a JIG for many of the pieces.
We will continue to work on the plenum until it fits into our business strategy- providing great products at very reasonable prices. We are convinced we can offer "custom" products with small production runs without the "custom" prices. So far.... so good.

When is a rough estimate of when these will be up for sale? Please tell me soon because I have a few checks and benji's here yearning for the Crawford, but I can't do it until I see your dyno sheets. Plz keep us updated! Thanks a lot.

Hi, wondering if we can have an update!!! Sorry for all the questions, but I think I speak for many, that we want to wait for your plenum before we give Crawford our business, BUT we do also want to get some sort of timeframe on when it'll be out. thanks.
