Pineapple Racing Intake Flow Balancer

Has anyone had any experience with the Pineapple Racing intake flow balancer? I saw it listed here http://www.rotaryengineillustrated.c...ppleintake.php but cant seem to find it on Pineapples site. I assume it is designed to even the flow of the front and rear rotor due to the uneven design of the stock LIM. Anyone know anything about this. Seems like a really cool idea if infact that is what this is designed to do.

cool but how would you measure the flow to check if it's balanced or not?

Here is the reply I got today from Rob at Pineapple Racing.

"The imbalance in my opinion is from the casting compromises the factory
made for bolt holes, etc. We never went into full production. One of the
projects on the table. I have one more of the prototypes here. Looks
like a finished retail item ($249). The adjustments allow you to
adjust the flow balance based on your exhaust gas temp readings before
the turbo. We had a pic until recent website changes. rob"

Seems like a really good idea although i dont know of too many ppl that run 2 EGT's.
