I love it when a component for my blower setup needs a part from Dinan. Yeah, that will be $400, then I find out it's an off the shelf tensioner from something like a random GM car reboxed. Then you get the GM part number on a forum and it's $35.

That kind of stuff turns me off. Real parts and real R&D they do, that is great. Companies are out to make a profit, but at a certain point it gets a bit much when you portray parts as your own that are not.

My Dinan blower kit retailed for $10,000 and it's remarkable how few of those parts Dinan really developed...the main thing is a bracket with Dinan cnc'd into it.
