He does, and the car moves!

We were a NJ industrial complex trying to burn off gas (basically doing WOT accelerations runs, I was thrashing the hell out of my car) and I kept getting bugged out because he wouldn't fall off like I expected - after redlining 1st gear he was nowhere near as far behind me as I expected - I honestly thought there was something wrong with my car, until later when I saw the DA SC....and then I understood

Burning off gas:

The best part of Seth's naughty sleeper is the color - Alaska Blue. Never seen anything like it, like a blue-tinted chrome shadow....I loved it.

Thumbs up Nice system

I have installed one on a 97 1.9L Z3 , really nice and clean upgrade. really made the car fun to drive. no software mods required, just install the SC and go!!
I am installing another one for a friend this weekend on a "ti".

It seems like a very well put together unit, very clean and looks great under the hood.

Only 4-cylinder models. The type of S/C that it is will not work on 6 or 8 cylinder engines. Check on their website for more information. I read it a while back..

I disagree, I think don't see why that type (Roots type) of blower wouldn't or couldn't work on a 6 or 8 cylinder.

I believe that this is the same sort of blower that is typically run with 8 cylinder carburated engines. It sits right on top of the intake manifold and then the carbs sit right on top of that. The long alcohol drag car (sorry, not a big drag racer) run this setup.

Isn't this the type of blower that mercedes uses?

'ti soon to be supercharged

The friend's 'ti that Ray is talking about is mine. Supercharger looks really great in the box. Very complete unit. Can't wait to see how it performs in the car.
