If you were to compare your unit to that of T1R, how would you say yours is better in heat management? It seems the flow about the same- what benefit would i have in waiting for your product to come out versus purchasing the T1R now? I would really like to go with your guys, so please sell me on why yours is worth the wait.....!

I think you pretty much quoted the difference. AMS is cast and retains stock heatshields

We are very close guys! Here is our first sample cast section welded to a flex pipe. Obviously this is not complete but the cast looks really good and will really help with reliability and heat transfer. Also you will notice the holes in the unit for a heat shield we will be incorporating with it

Looks good. Will you be posting a dyno sheet for an actual production unit? The prototype looks slightly different and appears to have a pronounced separation of the main and waste gate sections.

^I'll let eric comment on this, but my guess is that because it is cast, it's so smooth and precisely curved that it doesn't' need a separator.

Looks very good, but price estimate would help me decide if I want to wait for this.

Why would you need a flow separator (just curious)?

To seperate the wastegate gasses from the exhaust gasses creating less turbulence, thus providing faster exhaust release.
