The best part is that Mazda is the one's who were playing with this stuff a DECADE ago, maybe more!

I work with a guy whos old man has been doing tractor pulling with turbo **** for years, many many many years, as soon as i showed a picture of this valve to his old man, and told him the cost , he about slapped me when i told him i thought about buying one.
"ive probably got 3 or 4 of those lying on a shelf somewhere from years ago" he said. LOL. He said since turbos have been around they been doing **** things like that. LOL.
he showed me a few pics last week of some of the **** they used to do with valving and compounding etc. so intense setups.

I actually came up with the idea myself but after doing some research I found that Mazda had done something similar years ago. The thing that I did was to come up with a way to make it universal so that it could be added to any twin scroll turbo as opposed to having it built into the turbine housing like Mazda did.
I know that copying parts has been around for ever and I really dont mind, it certainly works for China! My only problem is that they copied it EXACTLY.... cmon, come up with a little variation!!

I think the problem you're going to have is selling them at the price you're asking, hell... apparently so will Motovative. If people on this site can make their own part for a fraction of what vendors are charging, the vendors will fight a loosing battle AND look like they're trying to rip people off. Just my. 02
If you think SP is ripping anyone off you must have no idea what kind of markup is in some of the other parts on your car.

I personally feel 500 bucks its far over priced,
i called a company the other day thats making a comparable product and they sell theirs for 900 bucks! Believe that!

Would be so down for $250 for this but $400.... come on. Just by looking at the materials used for the product it's obvious whoever is selling these (if they are selling them for this price..) would be making a killing.
I want one but 400 for what that physically is way too much money.
