Ok maybe we were not the first but I think we will be the first for a production kit.

im not out to bag you or rubbish your product, i think it's great that your doing something, and others will follow, thats how it starts... actualy its about time something like this came out for real!

others in the UK claim it but still provide no proof of anything.

This is good stuff. I ran a 6 psi supercharger on a Miata without an intercooler, no probs. It had 80k miles when I bolted it on. I got bored after 180k miles and traded it in.

Key thing will be to watch your AFR's for longevity. Don't go lean to make dyno numbers.

Cheers.

That is why we are going to make sure there is enough fuel in the system. We want AFR arount 11.8 to 12.2 max.

If you noticed on our company car we have both the boost and the wide band AFR gauge on the dash just to make sure things are right.
