Hey All,

Image

I have seen pics of this kit ... i dont have the $$$ to buy one, but i was wondering if anyone has some sketches with measurements, so I can make my own?

Alternatively would anyone let me come and have a look at their kit so I can take some measurements?

Lucas

You shouldn't need too many measurments, you can see the distance between the manifold studs, so just make your scale accordingly and measure with the picture. :wink:

i dno about that tho..

ben's not a business or anything, he's spent alot of time developing it etc, shouldn't the extra $$ u pay him be a 'thanks for engineering a cheap supercharger kit and making it work'.

it's not like he's asking for $5k like other people for the kit.

i just think there should be some credit given to him, it's his design..

Yeah don't be so tight and shell out the extra bit of money and buy Ben's kit.
And remember... buying the kit - its right the first time, every time, so you don't spend and waste lots of money on getting things right, usually inturn ending up costing more than the kit would have cost.

Food for thought :wink:
