Yeah that'd be us... I've called our ISP and our server is undergoing 
"maintenance" so that would explain the problem.

With regard to the Luftmassenmesser Umrüstsatz(LMU) which is our bolt in 
mass air replacement kit for the waterboxer, we're still working on 
it,  but our engine conversion has been the priority of late. We're 
finalizing a redesign of a custom airbox which will take the place of the 
boxer airbox, use a commonly available filter, plumbs into the stock 
snorkel, and houses all of the electronics as well for a simple one-piece 
plug and play unit. It takes no more than 5 minutes to install, and 
provides double digit percentage gains in both horsepower and torque.  It 
was originally planned to be released in March, talk began in November, but 
with the design changes and the amount of work needed to push development 
schedules on the Zetec engine conversion we're looking to August.  We 
should have some more info on the LMU and the Zetec engine conversion on 
our site tonight, as we've gotten enough inquiries that we really need some 
info on it up ASAP.

I'll post/crosspost when there is some more info to see.

Thanks,

Jim Akiba
