If you follow this link there is more discussion about the SC and Colin Belton also has some posts. the PCGB registerSec has also been in one of the converted 968's and has posted a report as well as some pictures.

Three Wheelin'
I just read through the post, it was really informative and had some great comments.
In summary there are probably more Supercharged 968s running around the UK than in the US and several of the Brits would like to see a lower cost lower power SC kit which Colin will build and install if 5 cars show up with 4K pounds ($8K) each.
It is also interesting to note that thr article says the supercharger used is capable of 30 PSI but it is only being used at 4.5 PSI - 6 PSI. I would call that significant overengineering. Perhaps the SC unit used is not the correct one, I wonder how much of the cost could be saved by installing a lesser SC unit, perhaps something that goes up to 10 PSI?
