Entirely new, but well established? What does that mean?

It might mean it's two guys in a garage, but not to worry because they both know what they're doing and have plenty of money to see it through.

Just sayin',

They're a well known company with a thriving market in other marques, which is part of the problem, they're really busy with that and the lotus is still a niche market for everyone. I was very familiar with them before i worked with them, i'm sure you will be too.

Hoping to hear results today about the choppy idle, fingers cross its just a bad MAF.
