I can understand you guys getting frustrated that it's taking a while to bring the product to market in your region but really, come on. I'm not convinced Innovate are approaching it in the right way, as in waiting for CARB approval before letting any consumer buy it. Seems a bit crazy as some of your states are not regulated by CARB (as far as I understand it).
Why don't some of you, who seem to care so much, pick up the phone and call Innovate and ask them why they have decided to launch the product in this way? Chances are they're just the exclusive distributor for the product and didn't have much/any involvement in its development. Of course being the exclusive dizzy, they would be the people to feed back problems with the product during initial installations, so you could call that 'development' if you want. Ultimately it's just a sprintex unit bolted on top of an inlet manifold which appears to be ripped off from the OE one anyway, but with a mounting flange for the charger/heat exchanger. I bet it didn't even see a flow bench.
If you want to buy one today, then import it. Nothing stopping you doing that, is there? The rest of the world imports enough crap from America, now the tables are turned it seems!

CARB is only a California-centric thing. The rest of our states don't have enough socialist-hippies yet.
I think people are just ancy to get some more clarity and expectation of the kit. I think in America we are accustom to businesses managing expectations. Innovate has just closed the door on contact to their consumer community. Not sure the reasons, I'm just anxiously waiting this kit's release. I plan to buy it right away but feel more comfortable when others are up and running too.
