I love the little motors in these, almost has a metallic air cooled flat six note. Excellent.

Thats what i've thought too. These engines have a lot of character. From 14 seconds to 8 seconds is a big jump.

Love projects like this, seems like this kit will cost you between £3,500-£4k, this turbo kit http://www.c1gti.co.uk/turbo-only.php will also cost you around £3,500 -£4k, no idea which will be better though
Eeek

One thing i like about this and other TTS setups is the detailed work that goes into the bracket. if anyone has looked at other Centrifugal Supercharger brackets they are nowhere near as well designed.

Yes 3 cylinder.

What would be the best way to record the car? I don't have a fancy phone or anything so not sure! smile

Best way really would be a camera with an external mic on the bumper or something

Or maybe put the microphone inside the air box if it has one!

Excellent!

Install looks top notch, the kit looks great.

However, as much as I salute your lunacy, and don't want to be the naysayer on such an awesome little project, I can't help but think that the power claims are a little optimistic. Over double stock power from a supercharger kit just seems a little generous. Did they dyno the car on their rollers beforehand as well?

Like I say, I think it's ace, and I personally wouldn't care what it was putting out as I suspect it drives brilliantly, smile

Too right.

I think it needs a set of powerful auxiliary driving lamps to allow full use of the back-roads ability.
