Well if you want it done guess you. I could probably fab most stuff up but a lot of trial and error fueling and ecu easy enough to do though

I'd like to see this supercharger project happen just quietly.. :)
And don't worry, I managed to unleash hell on another thread today, hijacking is fine aha. :facepalm2:

Piping to the throttle body should be simple enough, the air feed would take a flexible pipe?
Not too certain the pod will fit in the factory box, I'll take it off and test it at some stage anyway but I think it's a little too wide.

Yep! 2 for the extender, 1 for the stock pipe. It sounds amazing! Done nothing to performance (if anything probably gone backwards with the hot air) but if only for the sound it was so worth it haha.
Liking the yellow too, it's different. :D

You do realize that if this project does go ahead AND is successful, it's going to be myself and Tim; and our struggle for power :lol:

Kids. :lol:

Turbo has higher peak power no? Or are we looking at something more equal considering the management?

More potential for power with a turbo.

Supercharger however is always on boost, rather than certain range.
