No one is laughing anymore, I was right on several key points.
1) It was a bad idea to leave a deposit on something that didn't exist yet.
2) There would be long delays due to the nature of how Dave wanted to design the kit.
3) non-gravity drain back systems are not OEM reliable.
4) No way would it ever get CARB status
5) Install would be a nightmare
The only other points I ever made about Incon and his kit that I can't yet prove are that I doubted it would make 450rwhp@5psi, and I thought long term engine reliability would be a problem. Unfortunately there are not enough kits out for me to prove or disprove these points, now 2 years later.

Re: So does Incon blow or what? Ha!Ha!Ha!
Why don't you just put your money where your mouth is and Test the Incon kit yourself Terry. You come up with a lot of opinions about something I bet you've never even seen.

Re: So does Incon blow or what? How about this, you're waiting to install your kit after your next car registration renewal, because its not smog legal. Am I getting closer?
Re: So does Incon blow or what? How about this: I'm waiting to install my kit because I'm planning on moving my business in the next few months. As soon as I'm in my new shop and have my lift set up I'll start wrenching. <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0">

Re: So does Incon blow or what? [quote]Why do you have such a hard on over my cars anyway? Isn't the point of this topic Incon?<hr></blockquote>
Why do you have such a hard on over Incon? I've seen more posts started by you about Incon then most of the people who own an Incon kit.

Re: So does Incon blow or what? LMAO! On a hunch i checked out this forum for the first time looking for a topic like this, possibly by Terry (or one of his *many* alias's), and here it is! LOL!
INCON has had some serious supply problems and it kinda looks like someone is kicking them when they are down to me. Tisk!
It's a very well engineered kit. And Dave Inall is very knowledgable. FI historically looks to be very 'fussy' to get right. But most of the kit owners seem fairly happy with the INCON and haven't blown up their engines yet. That says something.
So when are you going to make that competing kit
Terry??? <img src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" border="0">
I would like to see you give them the credit that they *are* due at least.
As for the current situation, i think they will see their way clear of it before too long, one way or another.

Re: So does Incon blow or what? You know.. I remember reading the supply problems.. my question is.. these are the same turbos that lingenfelter is using, right? Is he having the same "supply" problems? Or does his well-heeled crowd have a better supply than the unwashed masses? If i was in Daves shoes, id be doing the same thing, but it still doesnt make it right.

Re: So does Incon blow or what? So I'm guessing that the Incon Twin Turbo setup is a joke from what you say??? Not really a joke, but the company is not living up to it's promise to deliver. It's a shame too, I REALLY wanted that kit. I have heard such good things from people who have them. Oh well.
So is incon the only twin turbo available??
Final question. What do you think is best, twin turbo, single turbo, or supercharger. I do most of my driving under 5,000 rpm and am looking for the most power in that range. thanks guys.

Re: So does Incon blow or what? Actaully the Incon kit is not a joke, they run great and make great power. Hopefully it will be over this month and the remaining about 20-25 people can get our kits.
