In the meantime, there are two other forum members that are installing the kit soon as upgrades (one BWR and the other S111 Katana). Given the compression ratios involved, I'm actually expecting a little more HP/TQ from their cars given the higher static compression ratio of the stock engine.
Pricing is obviously still in the works. What I know is that the upgrade kit will be substantially cheaper than your original kit cost you. To be any more specific than that, would purely be speculation at this point. This is really very close to a ready to mass produce level just as it sits on my car, so there's not much else to iron out from the hardware side 
I'm still open for questions about performance, hardware, etc... but I won't have any specific answers about price and how it will be delivered to the community until closer to January...
Thanks again! Projects like this are certainly fun and exciting! 
Best,

I'm going to plug for Phil here.
I was at his place on Sunday and got to see his car and some of his other projects.
If he makes a kit, it will be top-shelf all the way - he is one of those people who truly believes that you do it right or you just don't do it.
I would not hesitate for a moment to buy his kit if I was supercharging.
