Didn't read his post? He clearly states that it was an incomplete second hand supercharger off eBay.

Sporty custom nice find you got there, I can't wait to see the performance that it gives your car.

I picked up the same kind of charger for $850 with everything needed to fit and run it, even the chip from CAPA.

I dunno about the clealry part, but sorry my bad.

Good on ya mate. thats cheap power.

Very nice to hear mate.
Can't wait to hear of the improvement it has made, now all you need is more grip!

new fuel pump fitted no fuel pressure drop . i cant beleive the difference it has made . cars running big boost must go off there heads .best $2000.00 spent i guess will find out how much difference at the drags. since fitting charger driving in the dry is what it was like driving it in the wet wheel spin wheel spin and more wheel spin.

well bit disappointed had one run b4 probs set in which was a 8.44 @80mph 1.9 60ft heaps of wheel spin first race of the day for the track so track was a bit green.after that was loosing boost soon as i hit second gear .so take a short cut it will bite you on the arse come race day. towards end of day managed to get it to run about 3psi and ran a 8.5 .problem now solved and boost going were it should be seeing 8.5 again last run out felt strong as . so i added 2degrees timing feels better again so bring on next season. moral to the story if buts and maybe wont get you to the next round
