Dude, I'm not trying to piss you off, but you've been "in contact" with Sprintex and/or Boostec since January. Rick Rimmer at Boostec will tell anyone that contacts him anything they want to hear. Boostec is just a Sprintex distributor. Sprintex doesn't have "stock" because these units/kits are being assembled one at a time. That's why they cost so much. How do I know this? Well, I don't. But having been a project manager that planned a 325,000 units per year engine plant for Ford gives me just a little bit of insight to supplier behavior and supply chain realities. If this company actually had any plans for production and carrying "stock" as they keep saying, they'd be running ads in tuner mags, trade rags, and might even promote the "kit" on the internet in some fashion in an attempt to sell that inventory.

Yes, I have an axe to grind with Sprintex. When I called them out on their BS in a YouTube forum, the guy at Sprintex that's behind the "Fit kit" got snotty and informed me that he could choose to sell this to whomever he wants, thus implying that if he didn't like what I had to say, then he would just say FU to me as a customer. Yeah, great business model. Not too smart. We had that exchange last October, and it appears that the joke's on them. Since then, we've heard of ONE forum member acquiring the kit, and he's in Australia. Go figure. My guess is that I'll see my Christmas presents before you see your S/C kit from Sprintex.

This thread has been going for over a year, with one purchase, in Australia. That should be your first clue.

Wrong. Rice is white and sticky. BnD's car is not white and sticky.

This restrictor can be removed to increase boost to about 10PSI, but then you would need to make sure that the rest of the system can handle it.

Another factor to consider when increasing the boost would be cooling. As the kit does not have an intercooler, or really the option to add one according to the design, some other method would need to found. I would think a water/meth injection kit would work.

well here mines at GB3



how low is the water/meth injection kit reduce heat anyway ? is it safe if i just combine with an engine oil cooler ?

cause i'm now getting bored with the 7psi kit already (alrd installed it for 3000 miles run)

The AEM F/IC A/F ratio gauge and a Cooling Mist or other brand of water/methanol kit feeding directly into the screws of the supercharger should work very well at safely allowing a boost increase and much difference in power as long as the tune is done right... With the squirter you should be able to get away with using more timing advance and leaner A/FR... Just be careful and not run out of juice.
