See what happens when I'm away in Asia. That looks good.

This is the prototype. It was made with two cores for testing. The production unit will use a custom sized "single" core.

OK, it's 1am and need to sleep.

I believe that the adjustable cam gear only allows you to chose a specified setting and leaves it there. Thus, allowing you to adjust the onset of boost by a few 100 RPMs. Jan will be able to explain this better.
