   has anyone got one/ fitted one.
   
   am about to order and just have one query. can the super charger go on the end of my original intake pipe, instead of fitting all the piping.
   
   In other words i already have an induction kit and would prefer it to go on the end of that. would this work?
   
   cheers

   no.
   
   superchargers are belt driven need to be connected into the system properly, the induction pipe will go on the end of the charger as air is fed into it.

   ok.
   
   wasnt sure as this one is powered by the battery, and the motor is directly behind the filter cone. and all it shows behind that is piping fitting to the standard intake port, and the battery connection.
