Do you think it will make that much power They obviously know there stuff judging by the description,and cannot wait to have the supercharger for low end power and turbo will then take over,a bit like a sequential set up

I recieved this item this morning and had a good day fitting and testing it,with the opportunity of back to back rolling road testing to monitor results. The car was run on the rollers in current configuration and it recorded 376bhp and 390 lb/ft torque,we then fitted the new bit of kit and were suprised at the results... 406bhp and 395lb/ft torque and a lot quicker boosting So,all in all a very good gain for the money

please tell me you are joking Mark ,

Ps, you must always do back to back testing on the same dyno

I tested a similar thing back to back once and the engine lost 4 bhp

Thats the beauty of a rolling road chris,run it up before and record power,and then make the modifications or adjustments. You can then see any improvements
I am already looking at for a higher powered electric motor to put in the supercharger unit
