    I'd imagine you'd have just as many problems with a turbo too, speak to simo as he has a new turbo ready to fitted.

    i would defo go for a t28 from a nissan 200sx, you can have the internal wastegate spot welded shut and use and external wastegate, this would need to be incorporated into your manifold/down pipe.

    allows you to run higher boost more efficiently

    craig

    you sell the whole kit or just the charger?

    the turbo setup will run with all the supercharger gear, all you would need would be a turbo manifold and down pipe along with a turbo.

    you going to go mad this time round again??

    gets some forged pistons.
    equal length turbo manifold and down pipe from the likes of
    www.dp-engineering.nl speak to pieter about what your after (his manifolds are a work of art, knows his stuff too, he has built a supercharged twin turbo saxo lol)
    go standalone too, kms with wideband

    im ditching the supercharger this time round after the fire, going turbo too lol

    i wouldnt waste £900 on that carworx turbo you were telling me about lol

    oh yes, i like your style my friend

    t28, tubular manifold with big fat down pipe, custom fat exhaust, kms, massive rad and intercooler, cams, bigger injectors, twin plate cluth, atb diff, sequential gear box, nitrous you know it makes sence

    will give you a race at the drag strip lol (when mine is finally sorted)
