Be interesting to compare notes.

Charlie,

any update on the Supercharger?

[biggiles]

I was reading on the Autocraft website about their "procharger". this seems to be a cross between a supercharger and a turbo charger, using the best bits of each. I think it is something that has come across from the USA.

Has anyone seen one of these?

Or the worst, depending on your point of view.

ISC procharger is just a centrifugal supercharger. I've been lusting after te P1SC for years now. Looks like CJ'c T350 has one BTW

ISC / Vortech etc all sell similar products unlike the old fashioned monsterous rootes type affairs.

Nah, those are *proper* superchargers, none of this poncey modern centrefugal rubbish!
