Mark has developed his own line of PSRUs as well.

As often the case, it is the PSRU I would worry about. Maybe it is really good? How could we know?

Mark is the engineer for his PSRU's and states that he has many of these in service, with multiple thousands of hours on some units.
If you want more detail, you can contact him here: AeroMomentum
I consider Mark a very credible individual with solid designs.
I took a bunch of pictures of the AM20T setup with PSRU at Oshkosh - it looks great.

I've chatted with Mark a few times about several subjects over the past several years. He's refreshingly straightforward and being a mechanical engineer, very knowledgeable. Few FWF vendors who brought products to market in the last 15 years or so had this background or experience. If anyone can do auto FWF packages right, Mark would be a good choice IMO.
That being said, no PSRU or engine package can be called reliable and durable until that's been demonstrated in the real world over some considerable time. The engine package being discussed here does not have anywhere near as much time on it as some of his smaller Suzuki packages which do have many thousands of hours collectively. The core engine passed some very tough durability testing by the OEM years back, running at full boost and redline rpm for 300 hours I believe and then some more testing above redline.

I am 99% sure there is currently someone out there building a -10 with a am20t... does anyone know who it is or if they are on here? Thanks!
