Instead, we wanted to give the stage 2 the best intake design possible which has resulted in a lot more time required to do that. I think our ambition to offer a superior product overrides our desire to release a product onto the market that could be better. Because of that, we run into these delays but it will be worth it in the end.

This makes sense, but what is it about the STG 2 blower that requires so much re-work? It doesn't seem like the STG 1 kit is making a lot of compromises in terms of air flow, cooling capacity (intercooler), etc. Is the new SC substantially different in configuration (e.g. compressed air exit)? I'm all for a well thought-out kit (and you finding me a car BTW), I'm just more interested in what the design considerations are.
