What year was this originally purchased?
Where are the pictures for the 7th fuel injector and the fuel management box?
Aside; this is a good price for the kit.

Kit was purchased in 2001. Car(my fathers) has been sitting for about 1.5 years as he retired and left town to "decompress" for a while. Now he is back and wants his car!

I can email pictures to anyone that is seriously interested on every exact part, including the 7th injector (quite a mickey mouse fix) system. We went with a unichip and larger injectors.

I have seen the kit and it seems complete and in very good shape. One of my customers was thinking about it, but changed their mind.... If anyone locally is thinking of the kit, there are some better ways to control the fuel other than that 7th injector BTW...

No affiliation, compensation, remediation, intrepidation, or condensation for the above.

Pong, at that point they were getting CARB approval. They "assured" us and Excellence that it would be CARB legal. Guess what, it didn't happen. My father at one point was going to pursue legal action, but then he retired and feels that it is not worth it for the amount of money invovled.

I'll too vouch for Tony. He is a honest guy and someone to be trusted. I have all the confidence in the kit being complete and as advertised.

Cheers,
Boris

I dealt with Tony a few times and all the works done were top notch. He came highly recommended by Pin, Mooty, and Kim. (they all had their cars with Tony one time or another) There's little doubt that the charger is as described. I asked the question above as I know that Tony is a savvy guy, and would be aware of CARB issues. The answer was perfectly understandable. Wish him good luck in the sale.

Maybe we could use the supercharger to compress the air going into the turbochargers. Wow, we could call the system Megacharging. Or we could run the turbos backwards amd uncompress the air which would be what that Adriabatic process entails as described on the TT board. This could potentially deliver 1000+ HP. I think we are onto something. Just leave me your car, and access to your bank account and we will get started on Monday.....

Bob, you mention better ways to handle the fuel with the TPC setup... would you please elaborate? I have often wondered about this. When we were building blown muscle cars way back in my Camaro and Corvette days, we were always finding that if you added forced induction to any engine, it became very hungry and particular about its fuel! Thanks. BTW, the international version of the "Megacharging" setup you describe is called Mondocharging... LOL
