I completely agree with you there. This thread is proof of that; I started this in 2012 and we still don't have a steady supply. I think I read that the waitlist for the 7163 extends into March... Apparently in the time since, extra R&D has squeezed another 50hp out but come on already, some of us just wanna buy the thing. And yea, probably a while before the dualboost starts showing up. It's an OEM product so I'm sure it will have to go through years of bullshit before it starts to trickle into cars anyone can buy.
Also, Honeywell claims their dual compressor design doesn't make any thrust along the axis of rotation and market that as a feature. Makes sense due to the symmetry cancelling the two thrusts out but wouldn't the new axial turbine create thrust? I imagine having the gas flow across the turbine axially would put a thrust on the axle towards the turbine housing outlet, wouldn't it?
