Well, from what _I_ understand it's not been touted as a stock 6 HP
number but an average increase of 50%. Like maybe Stock 100 HP goes to
150 HP. 
Bolt on? Mostly. Better than a Turbo? For my reasons, Yes. 
Durable? Who knows yet? 
Name Brand behind it? More than one, both the component suppliers as
well as NSpeed.

Would _I_ by one? Yes. Well, Maybe, just not right now.
Would I spend 4 figures for a new one? Well, not really, based on my
(common maybe?) realistic budget and the asking price. 

Would I instead, or later, spend in the ballpark of a Quaife? Strong
Maybe.

Maybe if the stick with it during this early adopter period and can
keep, get, extend 50 State Smog Legal Status then it might take off,
give the Retro Resurgence in A1 VW as the modern Hot Rod and the recent
economic cycle where folks tend to buy, recycle existing automobiles.

I'd be real happy to bolt one on to my upcoming Audi 3A block, 84 GTI
solid lifter head, w/ larger but quite exhaust w/ some day new Cosmos
Blue paint hoopty. Or even my old tired 1.8 A2 Jetta DD.
 
Thems my thinks,
TBerk
