Having never heard of him or his product line... yes, I would agree the claims are pretty bold... including patent ownership and OEM relationships. I guess we'll see if he can get any traction if the product line is "all that". I would agree with him that packaging has become more important as workable space becomes increasingly limited... why I was especially impressed to see the front inlet front drive TVS.

Andrew Mueller, CEO/Managing Director, Richwood Group, must be a lawyer on the side. I couldn't read his letter any more easily than reading the "I accept/decline terms" letters you get when installing new software.

I don't see how the inverted design would save space once you have a plenum protruding from the top. Are they claiming a 5 liter SC?
Their website sure lacks any info.

We need more real world results and test data.

That's the blower used by Saleen on the S331.
