rsm changed their name to avoid the lawsuit against them. they were selling "custom tuned: pcm's and had some outragious claims with them, and all they did was turn the check engine light function off and shut off all the emmisions controll, everything else was stock.

the supercharger kit is a peice of garbage. they kill the bearings in the blower due to the long shaft thats poorly designed, they bend the shafts, and kill the shaft bearings. they are designed for the 3400 gagt, and they design the setup with a 1 bar map sensor and remove the maf. the ecm ends up seeing no boost, and the rising rate fuel regulator isnt big enough to handle it.

avoid this, you will have nothing but a headache.

thanks for all the info guys.... *sigh

o well turbo here i come!

(on a side note i was reviewing it at grandamgt.com and they were all excited about the special sale they had a while back saying "check is on the way" i wonder how their dealings turned out)
