Re: Custom EM for 10V turbo

[Steve Marinello <smarinel@neosoft.com>]

So, if 20 people kicked in $150, they would eventually have to put up $500 more,
$650 total for an improved EM.  Sounds worthwhile, but my first question would be

what do you expect the flow improvement to be?  Would you just match the $800
units or would you be trying to improve on them significantly?  Just wondering,
with a couple of Ur-q's....at least for now.
