Having researched the product, this appears to be very similar to the STS remote-mounted setup. This appears to be bundled with a thorough tune oriented more toward reliability than horsepower. Rather than focussing on track performance, the information on this site seems to point toward the idea of tuning for durability instead of the breakneck performance standards most people place on their cars. It is no surprise that such a tune would warrant a long-term warranty. Further evidence to this point is the point made in the FAQ about sound. The sound is not a priority because that does not contribute to the efficient performance of the brand which will only upset those who want everyone to know they have a turbo rather than those who care only about the function. The system is clearly favoring function over form, but even the form contributes the function by placing remote turbos rather than packing all of the heat in one place and adding balance to the car by choosing the rear of the car as the place of choice as opposed to mounting turbos at the front of the car. The science is very sound, supported by a clear explanation that more mass does not mean more air, and more air means more boost. More heat potentially means failure, as the company correctly explains. Finally, the physics explanation concludes by arguing that the alternatives, namely superchargers, will produce great peak numbers but will lack the broader performance benefit of these remote-mounted turbochargers.
In all, Neohydro Technologies has a very good product. I would like to learn more about maintaining my GM warranty and whether this warranty has the same terms as that warranty or what differences might exist between these warranties.
