    Somewhere around $2000, we are going to do our best to keep it under and yes that should include the m62. There will be a core charge for the motor mount and the AC bracket.

      So why did you land on the m62 vs the m90? Just interested.

        The m90 is too long. The snout sticks out much further then the m60 and m62.

          Looking forward to see it's mounted. Any chance you can show it mocked up on a engine on a stand?

            And what if I have a shelf full of superchargers? Can I just buy the kit/no charger? And I am semi local..you guys have a showroom or garage?

              We certainly can put it on a stand. Probably after we dyno this kit. I don't know if we have a full m20 lying around at the moment.

              You most certainly can buy it without the charger and at a reduced cost! We have a small garage at the moment but we would be more then happy to have you come down and look at the car, once its running we can take you out for a ride. It would be great so you can let the R3v community know if the kit is good or bad in person.

                This Is crazy tempting. I'm interested in dyno results. Would running this on an eta be pointless?(for those eta guys out there, sc being based off crank) How about 2.7i? (Like me :) )

                  It would still give you're car and etas a bunch more power to work with. You could also change the pulley ratio to get it spinning faster a bit earlier. Tuning it would be your hurdle I think, but doable. Unless the kit has an ETA ready option.

                    Yea I feel like the eta doesn't have the HP at the crank to really gain a ton from a sc kit. Hopefully my 2.7i would get some decent gains. In for dyno and more pics

                      No an ETA wouldn't be pointless at all. You might not see as much power but the power would be just as usable. Superchargers have the wonderful benefit of power all the way across the rev band. So even an ETA that has lower Revs would still be a whole bunch of fun.

                        Potentially interested in a kit at some point. I would definitely like to keep AC/PS.

                          This has my interest, however I'm hesitant to drop cash on a kit that eliminates my power steering and a/c. My car is my daily and I'm not doing another summer of no a/c.

                                Keeping power steer and AC is just not in the cards at the moment but it will be one of the first things we work on once the kit is launched. We run the current car without both, and yes summer is not the most fun without the AC, the PS is barely noticeable. Would you guys be more likely to buy if AC was available but not PS?
