I want to see an unbiased TVS vs Lysholm comparo, same engine, same boost, properly sized to see how they do in the real world.
Seriously, 1100rpm in 3rd...

3rd gear at 30khp is in reality about 1300, but i get your point. the thing is thats like a 90km/h roll on in 5th. its only done in lower gears to be able to test effectively on the street. the test illustrates transient response. a much lower powered N/A car would out accelerate a turbo in the same test (not to mention the in first .5 sec it would out accelerate the supercharged car too). i already proved lysholm are achieving about 65% thermal efficiency go to the site and look at a performance maps. under some conditions that is 10% less than current TVS technology. your point is moot.
EDIT: you could use a 1320 on our car without much of a problem and you can order the charger from harrop out of australia pretty easily.
