Yes it does at it fits to the car where the A/C is located.....bummer for us guys that live in the tropic :(

These SC kits have been around for a long time too.....in Europe. Perhaps they are just new to the US ;)

Ted, do it man....it's a great SC and I was considering it until I found out about the A/C issue.

One of the first parts to go BYE-BYE when I get my car.

im thinking of saving up some money and rebuilding by motor and slaping this sc on sould be awsoem any one know the hp promise?

That's not a bad price but no a/c? What's a hotter set up, fresh M20 with FI or M50 swap?

[Erick]

I really dont use my A/C.... so I guess my car applies for a supercharger kit :)

I like s/cs because of the lack of turbo lag....plus they sound amazing to me. :) 8)

That's silly! A blower like the Rotrex has huge mechanical lag. It CANNOT make 6psi until near redline!

Our 325i makes 14psi by 3500rpm. The days of the horrendous turbo lag are long over!

Sounds interesting.... I'm a n00b at FI so what I say is most likely wrong....

Todd, what does your kit retail for?

[golde30]

man, how can any1 say a supercharger sounds better than turbo??? i LOVE the sound of my T3/T4 hybrid i have on my datsun....especially at about 4000rpm before the motor gets too loud, but the turbo is all the way spooled up :D

$3825 non intercooled. And you get to keep the a/c.

If you would throw an IC in the box Todd I could almost justify spending 4k.
