Sal, hows the blower coming?

Does anybody know how Sals new rear inlet blower system is coming along? I haven't seen anything for a while and was just wondering if it's still a go?

Yep, it's still a go!! It did get delayed a bit longer than I had hoped, but we're just about there. The custom intake is an extremely complex part. The guy at the casting foundry said it was the most involved casting he's done in 29 years. Then after that, it took a lot of time to get the casting set up properly on the 5 axis mill. Now that the intake issues have been resolved, we are waiting for the first bunch of blowers to arrive. Then the first unit goes on our truck for final fit and install, some dyno testing with the different snout pulleys that come with the kit, and she'll be ready to go. It shouldn't be much longer now.

Are the internal parts (ie the rotors, housing, etc,)the same size as stock or are they a bit larger? Also,are they going to bolt up to the intercooler according to the year ( different bolt spacing on the 01-02 pieces) or will it only come with one spacing and the intercooler will have to be changed? What % efficiency increase do you expect?
