For a while the company was all but gone and now they seem to be back. The cost is fairly high at almost 2600 for the turbo. They are fairly amazing turbos though...

They said they (rotrex chargers) are not suitable as they cannot supply the boost levels required for STD.

Rotrex is a belt driven supercharger with turbo like compressor design, so it is not driven by exhaust gases like a turbocharger ;-)
