>I've been running their starter for 3+ years on an I-4 (first with a Tiico,
now an AVH 2L) without a problem. Easy install, low amp draw, and seems to
work at anything above 11VDC. Pricey, yeah, but after several dead rebuilts
in a near or so, seemed like a decent deal, and at the time, cheaper than an
adapter and TDI starter (with no suitable core).  YMMV

There are NEW TDI starters available of at the very least equal quality to
the 'Gowesty' starter - for $75. Lactrical brand. No core. That gets you in
for about $150 + shipping.

And no, the IMI starter is not 'Gowesty's design'. It's been around longer
than they have.
