I wonder if there is any way to MAKE it fit? Maybe an a/c relocation? I'm already making custom hoses to fit my stupid a/c anyway, so it's not like I have stock hoses which can't be moved.

I'd rather delete it. I really would. But... i don't live in Iceland.

It's not the hoses, it's the compressor you won't find the space for unfortunately. I don't know what Hacker needs AC for in Green Bay, I've been there - it's like summer for 2 weeks?

Not anywhere? At all? I'm going to take a look later and check it out myself. The a/c is a huge thing to get rid of for some boost IMO.

Convert to manual steering and put the AC compressor where the PS pump was.

Edit: Wait you already have manual steering, just move the compressor to where the ps pump would be.

I would be interested. It wouldn't be something I could afford for 3-4 years from now or longer, but I would be interested.

I have ALWAYS wanted to boost my S2, but the supercharger doesn't didnt tickle my fancy that much.

Does the kit included EVERY single part to convert an S2 over?

If one is spending $7500 for such a big upgrade, would it not makes sense to encourage an upgrade of the pistons & rods to get the correct compression, since you're already doing such a massive job?

That would add another what, 2-3k to that price? Hah...I'll skimp for the time being. $7500 is already a lot of coin to be dropping, and you want to add another 2 grand to that?!

I definitely want one, I just need two things before I do it.
I've got to sell the silver car.
Since I'm so far away I need to hear a few success stories from fellow listers.

I would also much prefer the SC but I live in a hot country.

Upgrading the rods and pistons and rebuilding the engine with a good head gasket and head studs,etc.....is going to cost you big bucks.Then you will also need to go to a true EMS system since you can run more boost.It will start adding up real quickly which is why Powerhaus charges $25k for a 968 turbo build.

Looks can be deceiving my friend, but be assured as soon as my two requirements are met I will be knocking on your door, I'm sure shipping is going to be scary though!
