Yes this is definitely an issue. I'll try to call them tomorrow if I have time. Do we know for sure that it was just their measurements that changed or did they change anything about the compressor it self. It would make sense that they would want to rate their compressors at higher CFMs (for every application other than FRC). Currently we have no way to prove the legality of any VAIR compressor since we don't have a 12V CFM rating at 0psi for any of them. We can assume the 90/92/etc are legal since we are supplying a lower voltage but we don't actually know their CFMs at 12V either.
