WHAT?
Even to run my boss compressor the recommended way cost over $200 in wires and switches. A customer could have 2x endless airs (if there is room on the engine) for less than 2/3 price and pump twice the cfm.
Cant wait to see the next developments....due for beers

Wouldn't the $1900 price tag make you time rich to develop an endless air bracket?
The wiring and switching would be a few hundred $ alone to run what you are planning on.

I have a set of RHS lower trailing arms with new bushes (under 1000km) you can have for $180 in Brisbane.
Bushes alone are worth $200 new.

If its power your after petrol will be your answer, don't be fooled into thinking diesels are better on fuel when there pushed to produce power. And you'll make more power with the petrol.
Mine makes 209.1rwkw and 690nm and still gets 12-12.5lt/100km.
What are you basing your comments on?

Mine highlights the V8 noise a little more than other duramax's getting around with mild exhausts. No idea whether its louder though.
