Yeah, I figured they would use the 1900... I believe Eaton has an OEM customer that they designed the blower for, my guess would be MB... The 1650 was thought to be going to be used by an OEM but it must have fell through... I know said OEM on that one was MB... Anyway, yeah this should be a nice bump but will need to see the performance maps and such... I'll buy one the day it's released! LOL Arin, mentioned on that other site that install with CPS will only be 30 minutes! That will help keep the overall cost down and make it easy... Would be nice to find an outlet for our used 1320's to help further reduce the cost...

I don't see it taking only 30 minutes unless it comes with all the factory components pre-installed (bypass valve, throttle body etc.). They designed it to be just like the OEM setup, so it should still be a fairly straightforward bolt-on.

It looks like there is some market for a used 1320, this link specifically for cobalt ss but maybe there are others too

Does this require APR tune, or should other software work with?

APR software as they will have to adjust bypass, timing, etc. given the additional boost... You could probably run Revo also since they seem to disable all the safety measures or set them very very high so they aren't triggered, but that would be dangerous/costly as a few have found out already...
