Rotrex Supercharger Thoughts?

[Insanity]

If you're going to road race, don't even bother with a turbo. Superchargers are fine for road racing, because the only viable turbo boost levels for that sort of driving are attainable with a supercharger, but the supercharger has infinitely better response compared to a turbo.

Really, it depends on what you want from the car as to which direction you should go.

I drove a Rotrex equipped G60 Corrodo...rucking frocket, I tell ya.

I love the idea myself, especially the part of someone else coughing the dollas first.

not to drift OT tooo much
I wanted a corrado something bad a couple years ago, read so much on vwvortex about the superchargers self destructing and expensive repair / replacement (couple grand by only a couple shops -- one in canada I think) i bailed on the idea plus they dont seem to plentiful.

Rotrex units are known to fail if you push them more than 11 PSI. I f you want a compat unit, + - easy to install and run, maybe this is your ticket, of corse if you want a little "Boost" in your engine and not looking for moderate-high power.

For 3k you can get 300 WHP if you build your own turbo system. Just as reliable if you take your time and buy quality parts. For 4k you could have 350-400 WHP. Turbo lag is a myth by the way, it all depends on where you want your power :)

e30tech is where you want to go if you're looking for real power....

Anyone know much about these systems? They are 'supposed' to produce 240hp from a stock M20 engine. It's about a $4k price tag.
