A lot. The TVS is the next generation of blower technology. It has a MUCH larger efficiency island than the 62. There's a bunch of info about it on Eaton's website

Is it worth it to wait for the newer generation?

Depends on who you ask and what your goals are It's a much higher horsepower option than the standard Katana and BWR kit so considerations need to be made for making the jump. The TVS kit will come with a fuel pump (which is annoying to replace), will need a clutch upgrade, etc, so it's a more involved installation than just bolting on one of the smaller whp kits and driving away. I think each has their place and user...

Do you know if the TVS will fit the current manifolds in production?

Yes. There's a kit (I make it) that adapts it to fit both BWR and Katana manifolds, and their will be upgrades kits available before too long to allow existing Katana/BWR users to upgrade if they choose. Pricing is still TBA
Best,

Phil

Whoever thought working on a Lotus is hard, clearly hasn't tried it. Pick up a wrench and get some grease under your nails
