Default Used supercharger on UK ebay

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/PORSCHE-928-S-...QQcmdZViewItem

No affiliation, just a heads up for anyone in the UK looking for a project. No idea what the kit is? I have bought bits from the sellar in the past - mainly interior bits and pieces with no problems. He breaks and restores cars from his house - had a lovely Merc SL when i went to pick some bits up as well as a 912, 928GT and 911 RS! He can be expensive, but seems OK. Goes by the name of Bill and is open to negotiations so to speak.

I wonder if there are more items than what is shown in the photo. If it were a complete setup I would be interested. I'm going to e-mail the seller and get details.

That looks like one of those heater fans sold as a cheap alternative; not a supercharger.
Am I missing something here?
Like name of manufacturer

it looks like plumbers pipe and a supercharger housing of some sort and a duct. Hardly a kit. But at 35 pounds, i guess you cant complain on the price.

That's a supercharger for sure, I'm just not sure of the manufacturer. A little more details with more pictures would be nice.

Unlikely, they haven't been on market for long and that one looks like it has seen some miles. It doesn't look like Albrex either IIRR that they look like.

Ken I think we have a winner

I would think centrifugal SC'er have progressed in the past 10 years to the point that a 15-20 year old unit, like the one in the Ebay ad is really pointless.
