    I am in a process of ordering one. Already had a talk with Dan Mara VP prodigy , hope everything goes well.

    There's a new kit with a ball bearing turbo water cooled coming soon.

    Thanks Ross and Jeff for the info's.

    Hope to get a technical supports internationally once needed

    When do we get to hear that blow-off valve? I'm interested to hear how it sounds compared to my stage 1 kit (which has not blow-off valve) when shifting gears.

    Its a hard sound to capture, as you have to be shifting on the throttle. Making the noise is easy, its getting a camera to pick it up that's hard.

    We'll see if there is a way to get a mic close enough. The sound is plain as day when you drive. Total pressurized air sound. ShPSSSSSSSST!!!

    You could try the technique I used in my video: record a video with your phone, holding the phone in your left hand against the steering wheel.

    Turn the volume up and listen closely when I shift to 2nd during the acceleration that starts around 1:25: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2cyAZSDR_m8#t=1m25s

    There's the "ssshhhHHHHHH" sound of the wastegate as I accelerate, then a "PUuuhhh" sound when I lift off the throttle to change gears. I expect the BOV will replace my "PUuuhhh" with a much more distinct "PSSHHhhh".

    I love the sound effects in quotations. I can only describe my acceleration sound as the noise an airplane engine makes when starting up, a higher pitched whir, not quite a whistle, but a whir! The release of throttle for a gear shift definitely has a satisfying "pluhhh--whoooshhh".

    This is like those commercials where a person is explaining to their mechanic the noise their suspect car is making!
