Well, to be honest, the ROE kits can go up to 12psi, and with the methanol injection they work pretty well. Your kit is probably very good and likely an improvement on the standard Roe kit. I believe that Sean was, at one point, designing a air/ water intercooler for the Roe, but it never got off the ground for some reason. As cheap as some of these new DIY and Rear Turbo kits are going for from Heffner, SVS, TNT, and CPE, I'll be surprised if the market is that big. I am sorry to say that I think you missed your window of opportunity. If you had introduced them 3 years ago, you would have probably had better success. But anyway, welcome to the boards and I wish you luck with your project. Run some numbers and tell us how it does. There are still some who will only run a supercharger and for them, they may have found their new kit.

P.S. You may have been thinking of a boost restriction based on the cast internals of the cream-puff which are all cars built 2000-on. Before you do anything with those engines, get some forged internals in those SRTs or you are just wasting your time.
