if the price was right? Probably way cheaper than the DUH unit. Just want to know what kind of market there is out there. =)

Default I'm sure some will call them rice...

But I would consider any type of IC that gets better cooling and flow than stock but costs less than our current options.

Default If the price is right and the performance is there (with data to prove it), they'll sell.

If you could come in around the same price as the current sidemount options ($1000 - $1400), it would likely sell pretty well.

Default There've been several made with poor, poor results compared to the Duh unit. He spent

quite a bit of time on the fin counts and other small details to get that thing working right. You've got quite a chore ahead of you! ;-)

That said, good luck and let me know if I can help you with anything(thermocouples, data acquisition, etc).

As long as the price is reasonable (DUH pricing isn't) than of course.

That you do! Show good dyno numbers and VAG logs and you'll have no problem selling them.

Find a way to make it easier to install as well and you'd have a sure fire winner.
