Ok, let me clear some stuff up for everyone.  There is a new Hotshot kit in
development right now. It uses a T3/T04E turbocharger like the FMAX, not a
T4 as stated above.  The manifold is a tubular equal-length number
constructed from 321 Stainless using the 35mm TiAl wastegate.  It will have
a 3-inch downpipe off the turbine that should clear the A/C compressor (it's
going to be close). The manifold allows for the use of the stock radiator
fans.  The wastegate will be divided for a good distance (think 20-30")
before rejoining the downpipe. Big intercooler. The basic kit will include
370cc injectors like normal, but like the FMAX, you should be able to order
with upgraded hardware if you want.  Pricing has not been set.  I can't
divulge much more, but let me say, its going to be pretty sweet.   :)
