Default Thank you Kyle

Kyle,

Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions. I understand how Stillen chose the centrifugal over the TVS.

Please don't misunderstand, I think Stillen is a great company and while I may not like all of the component choices, I respect the quality of work and final products you guys produce.

I did find the design of the intake manifold to be pretty cool with the intergrated exchanger. I have used similar designs in the past and have had great success with placing only heat sinks with heat pipes in the air flow (instead of running the coolant through it), then routing the heat pipes to an outside location where the coolant can flow over them creating a heat exchange cycle. Generally, that system can flow a higher volume of air at a lower pressure and has better heating/ cooling due to improved coolant flow and pressure. Might be an option if you guys start having manfacturing problems with the intergrated exchanger... or if you just need something else to play around with (can never have too many side projects lol).

Anyway, thanks again. You guys are a good bunch in my book.

This is minor but there is one cosmetic part that bugs me and you are always looking for feedback right lol. I though I'd just throw it at you.



The support bracket on the charge pipe that conects to the engine (between the compressor and Y split) looks tacked on. I suggest not welding it to the top of that pipe (maybe the side or bottom). Extra deluxe would be to have some sort of detail/cut outs on it but I'm sure that would drive the price up. Normally I wouldn't say much about a support bracket but it's visually on a central part of the kit.

With such a nice looking/custom manifold and endtank right on top of the engine, why stop with an eye-sore bracket .
Just wanted to let everyone know that R&D is way ahead of us. Josh and I had a few minutes to sit down with Steve the other day and talk about some of your concerns/requests and everything we mentioned they had either already changed or agreed with. The charge pipe support bracket was supposed to have some sort of design element but there wasnt time to dress up the prototype. It was however in the drawings though so it is part of the final design. Also, those blue silicone hoses...they'll be black to match better. And we also went through and made a few other suggestions of our own but for the most part it's just like we were talking about and they're simply prototype pieces that will be slightly different when everything is completed.

Thanks for the follow through and for not sweeping even small suggestions under the carpet. Sounds like you guys are really paying attention to the customers and the details. Nice work
