these types of betas generally mean
a) have it installed at a discount price
b) be available and subject for testing
c) be prepared that it may blow up and that's the car owner's own problem and therefore;
d) you'd better know enough mechanically about the whole assembly to get a warm and fuzzy feeling
right?
my main hold back is (d) as I'm the first to admit I'm not mechanically savvy, otherwise I'd love it ! hehe

Unfortunately, as with any aftermarket turbo or supercharger kit, there are never any guarantees...
except on the kit materials and workmanship, whether it's a beta or final product for retail. So, if you're going to supercharge at all, it makes sense to get in at the discount. This is where trust in the manufacturer and the thoroughness of their testing comes into play. This kit has lived on the dyno to perfect the tune and has been driven daily for several months now. This 'beta' program is being initiated to demonstrate the reliability in varied driving conditions and allow for customer feedback.
