These turbo-kits were great indeed and I still have a few somewhere perhaps lying under some dust in the attic. But I don't understand your remark on Hegener & Glaser. The Lang-Schroder-Morsch policy you describe is true but that did not mean they provided a turbo-kit for me for each WCCM. I had no complaints. I don't know why SSDF decided the remove the Turbo-Kits from the list, I am sure Mr. Hegener liked it for the reason you describe but that doesn't mean he was involved in that. Saying such a thing without evidence would be slander. Ed
