I would adapt a CTS-V unit and be happy. Well, happier with Megasquirt added to the upgrade.

Hopefully your SC choice is the one that works most easily with your engine management system- I assume one of Carl's setups would be that candidate?

It ultimately depends on what your intended use of the vehicle is, and how much $$$ you have in your budget...

I chose a Lysholm type screw compressor for very specific reasons. A centrifugal compressor is much easier to plumb into the stock intake system and take off if you want to return the car to stock condition.

The design I have done and am in process of building is a challenge in mental gymnastics about compromising design parameters within the given space of a 928 engine bay without cutting the hood open.

Wow, that looks great !

I have Carl's Stage 2 Intercooled setup and it drives great. He did the installation and the tune, including final tweeks during the Dyno run. I have a prettied up Spider intake I still need to install but that's a bit lower on the priority list as I'm still working on getting the electical done and the interior back together.

Brad, just my experience having the Kenn Bell Twin Screw installed for 10+ years and 40K+ miles.

Auto Trans with a Twin Screw... ZERO lag, Tony said it best "feels like a big block".

I am told all the crankcase vents that lead to the intake need to be blocked
and if you want they either go to the air or to the intake side of the super charger.
I would like to know and see pictures of what others with super chargers did.
I have the intake off now and I am glad to see that there were no leaks and everything looks clean.

So do all of the 3/4 crankcase breather hoses need to come off the 90 intake tube?
Pictures please.
