I think that one was just smoothed and powder coated. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

I spoke with him last summer and he was working on a lighter aluminum version, I just don't know if that is it.

Just talked to Paul at hydratech, and the billet version has been shelved and a release date may or may never happen. He said the unit would have to be beefed up near 50% for billet, which would require a complete redesign. You are looking at a well detailed unit. The pic in question is the "BOSS 49", with more information here.

The Hydratech Hydroboost unit in that pic is painted silver.
