Sounds sick! At 0:44 and 1:00 something you have sparks coming from your front end when you started braking, not sure if it`s something you`ve noticed before. Excited to see some more videos!

Have you put it on the dyno yet to see if the power is there? Your expectations might be higher than what the kit delivers.

Just wondering if there are any videos of it in action? Maybe some highway pulls, 0-60, quarter mile times.... If anyone knows where I can find some footage let me know.
I keep hoping someone will come up with a software tuning solution. A TT solution can be built far cheaper than 10k.

Have you been under the car to see how much room is available for turbos? I think you're kidding yourself about a turbo setup being cheaper.

Oh yea, that's just the brakes, they always do that.

You could be right, but judging by what they posted the car is supposed to trap around 126-127 in the 1/4 and I feel like it's only 122-123ish. I've checked for boost leaks and its pretty good only one very minor leak where I can't get to. In 50* weather it hits about 6.5-7psi at 7000rpm.

Even a minor leak with boosted applications can make a pretty big difference.

I have seen your online videos on YouTube and congrats for everything you provided. I was curious if you would become a member and you did. I'm sure it's not just me but everyone else here who wanted some feedback from the supercharger.....especially one in CA. Keep up the awesome work bro and I personally look towards more Vids from you showcasing the supercharged ISF.

Pretty nutz, I like the sound of the blow-off valve and idle sounds great too.

Is putting down all this new found hp and tq a problem? Maybe that's why 1/4 mile is slower than some may hAve thought and why the OP feel's the is not quite as fast. Is traction an issue here and perhaps further suspension and chassis work needs to be done in order to put power and tq down?

Where do you have the leak? I want to double check my install.

Pretty decent time. He should be able to see it dip below 11 seconds with better tires and better launches.
