So, its an "accessory" part isn't it? Interesting whether someone in Japan is aware of it...

Can you elaborate on this a little more, or post a link to the thread/announcement? I'll be in that market segment in a few months, so I'd like to understand what may be changing.

Oh, I am for sure

But I was actually asking about your comment that FP may be replacing their Green with... something else. Just trying to keep up with the news

Oh, Robert (owner of FP) mentioned that on his Facebook page. Sounds like the Green will still be around if people want it, but this new Mitsu turbo is going to be their recommended and commonly available choice.

Hmmm...what is this?

A second compressor cover you say?

Both covers have a 3" inlet for maximum airflow so that alone is a nice upgrade vs. the EF2, but we're also going to be testing standard vs. anti-surge to see how they compare. Stay tuned for data this weekend...
