Owners of Turbo Technics Supercharged Elises

[MilesForrest]

I've visited the factory and have taken out the TT190 demonstrator. I was very impressed and it confirmed my belief that superchargers are the way to go.

The conversion
What is the conversion like to live with on a day to day basis?
Fuel consumption?
Oil consumption?
Starting problems?
Driving in traffic?
TT230 - any drop in low rpm torque?
Has anyone converted a Lotus Sport 135 to a TT230 ?


Servicing
Any faults with TT equipment - how did they resolve them?
Has the extra torque broken/worn other parts of the transmission?
I known TT will cover engine and transmission under their own warrantee, but have any Lotus dealers had an issue servicing your cars?
How much does it cost to replace, MOT, and remove the CAT?
Anyone had any "difficulties" not having the CAT installed?

Insurance
Any problems with insurance (I found about 50% or companies would not insure my S1 BBR GTI160)
Any recommendations?


Resale
Have any of you tried to sell your cars yet?
Could you charge a premium over similar but non TT upgraded cars?

Is it worth the money? Would you have your next Elise upgraded? Did they budge on the list price?


Anything I've missed?

Many thanks for your time.
Miles
