Yes,that's who I was going to begin talking to.

I wanted my car serviced by them but they are a bit far away. I'm about to put it into CPC which has a good rep down here.

yup they are awesome... i then spent the next 7 months moving and generally being an over-reacting fool and litterally cable tieing, moving, finessing everything so its perfect and now it looks factory installed.... very pleased with the result, due to the centrigual blower, power is very linear... its like the s54 has been replaced by a v8, its still got that lovely s54 mechancial sound, but now with superchargers mechanical chatter in the background.........

the superchargered used is a vortech v3si (silent trim) its near silent.... its only audiable at very low speeds.

doo itt!!!

My biggest issue is none of the charger setups are loud enough. I wish they made a lot more noise. I like engine noise and the sound of a whailing charger would give the engine more character imho.

Your car looks fantastic, many congrats.

the only type of noise i hear is like a mecanical chatter noise.... then the blowoff noise at high revs!!

At low cruising speed you get that typical s/c whistle..... its rather cool.

if you listrn to the poor quality vid you can hear the whistle @ the hairpin, on the higher quality you can hear the blowoffs on the main straight......

re-bled the brakes today after wanting to do a proper flush, also re-torqued everything again to just make sure, and cleaned under arches ;-) i also cleaned the complete wheel barrels, calipers, rotors needed cleaning after brake fluid sprayed on them during bleeding, now all back together and very clean!!
