Very nice indeed, impressive handywork on the instillation. Whats the latest with his car, on the road yet, would be nice to see what its like under load, ie ragging it down some unsuspecting road. Thanks for the link by the way.

Best of luck mate, your website is going to be very helpful indeed. Begining to sniff around for a decent supercharger now, this may end up being expensive.....

Hello mate, might be interested actually, im on a fairly tight budget, so if you could give me some sort of idea on what im looking at paying to do the project, that would be very helpful too. Theres an eaton M112 on ebay, but im also looking around locally to see if there are any bargains to be had.

hahaha true! recommended for large cars and light truck engines, perhaps not ideal! What unit have you installed? The M62 looks like a good bet, what is your opinion? Thanks.
