Not a fan of the magnetic clutch on the pulley. I feel it takes away from coolness of the supercharger. at the bottom of the ad, it states the ecu comes with it. I'd like to see someone else pull the trigger on it. Im on track to install my supercharger this weekend. i finally worked out all the small details so install will be a breeze. (hope that statement doesn't come back to bite me)

The TOM's unit sucked and made very little power,especially for the price of it, it had rareness and coolness points though

Uhh... that dyno chart shows 260kw aka 349bhp starting from 4k to redline, and makes significantly more power all along the curve. That's not a monstrous amount, but it's not 'very little'. Not to mention that torque curve; RIP tires.
Believe me, if I had that kind of dough, I would be allllll over that. Great setup.

yeah i saw several of the SC members mention that... firelizard, keep in mind,NEW this kit was $10k-13k and although that seems like a fortune it was aimed at older people who still wanted some extra power and to keep their reliability when buying a NEW SC430 which was super high when they came out also, these people were probably not sweating $10-$13k. NOWADAYS they just arent worth much to have because they just dont make the power for the price

Plus this kit is FAR from complete. Its the roots charger, belt, ecu, and IC.
This was funky design with the IC water\air cooling that required you to tap into the cooling system of the car and it had a clutched pulley so you could choose when to engage it.
All in all a nice kit when bought new, but with no brackets, intake elbow, cooling hoses and fittings it would take a skilled mechanic to sort it all out and get it working.
And then for what 75HP>?

I'm sure trying to install a smaller pulley would be a monumental undertaking. unless you just did away with the clutch and pressed on a smaller pulley. Regardless of what everyone's opinions are on this topic. I think we can all agree that "you have to pay to play".
