It's all time and money one way or another.

I could be wrong but I think the pics are upside down.

Red - besides the blower itself, the rest of the kit is homemade. A for doing it and a F for appearances (IMHO - fugly). As far as the pros of having the SC - can you say an extra 100 ponies. And as far as the cons - If you dont do it right, say bye bye to your motor.

OK, guys, where does the Tb go? Or that AFM?

And that intercooler ain' gonna work, not enough surfrace area.

Better luck next time.

However, it's set up right. The blower will need to turn the same diriction as the crankshaft. The blower is upside down in this instlation. I'm thinking he's got two pullys so you can switch them out, and have more or less boost.

I don't see any fuel system componets. With even a few pounds of boost, modifications would have to be done, no matter how the EFI system works. I see no plumbing for the TB, or the AFM, and the stock system sure isn't going to work.

Looks like a half assed kit to me.

V.U. is right. It is turning the correct direction. It just looks funny because it blows up. (heh heh)

The sc shaft would turn counter clockwise to blow upward. The crankshaft turns clockwise. So the sc pulley would have to run on the outside of the belt or have the direction of rotation changed with gearing.

It dosen't matter if the SC is upside down or not.

VU is actually correct though. I agree after looking at the pictures more closely. The rotors trap the air against the sides.

Andy - Are you saying that the air doesn't flow through the center between the rotors but around the outside of them???

Steve,
Yes, the rotors press the air against the side of the casing, not against each other.

Andy,

this weighs 75 lbs. Assuming that's accurate, I'm curious if your corresponding parts weigh as much

Tarek,
I havent weighed anything but I believe around 35 pounds. And that's with a real intercooler.

As and aside, consider that the weight of the stock intake will be subtracted. I wonder what it weighs?

Someone bought it, $1200 "Buy It Now" with 2 days left. WOW!

Tarek, the stock intake weighs closer to 15 lbs.
