I spoke to the local SAC, it seems that SAC are working on an exhaust system as well, interestingly they replace the cat with a high flow cat. They'll get back to me with more info.

System Features
• Gear-driven V-3 H67BC centrifugal supercharger, designed specifically for the FA20 Boxer engine.
• The V-3 features an internal oil reservoir. No connection between the oil pan and the compressor gear case is required; no oil line. Includes a remote fluid drain hose (attached to supercharger) that allows for simple
fluid changes without removing the supercharger from the vehicle.
• Technologically advanced, high-efficiency, 5-Axis machined billet impeller and high-diffusion housing developed in our SAE-J1723-compliant supercharger test cell.
• Stylized airbox and filter housing design allows for additional flow, while retaining the factory cold air ram intake. Quick release fasteners allow for simple access to filter for change/cleaning.
• Integrated air/air charge cooler configuration features all aluminum tube ducting and an oversized cooler core to provide maximum cooling with minimum pressure loss.
• Discharge duct connections utilize heat resistant silicon sleeves and premium quality stainless steel clamps.
• CNC machined billet mounting bracketry with black anodized finish for attractive and functional "factory-type" appearance and rigidity.
• Complete bolt-on system including all necessary belts, pulleys and reusable high-flow air filter.

Yikes!

So, we're looking at R 85,000 to get 210kws?

That's roughly one third of the vehicle's purchase price.

Screw that, RGM does good work but they're ridiculous with their prices.

i concur, money hungry bastards, should have been in the region of 25-30k at the most, got a price from SAC for a stage 1 conversion, 15+ Kw @ 11.5k (Chip & exhaust system)

Will the SAC stage 1 void the warranty?

jip, as will any mod to engine, in some cases aftermarket filter also voids warranty if found it to be at fault, eish!!!!!

Just to put into perspective..

The kit is not cheap yes, this kit retails for almost $5000 over seas.
BUT we get the kit completely installed with performance filter, UniQ chip installed and mapped/dyno.

Atleast someone went through the trouble and R&D to bring us this kit reliably to SA.

We all agree with you and support a product tested to our climate standards in conjunction with manufacturers requirements.
Based on price, would a supercharged 86 be on your buying list for R420k?
86 is about fun and affordability, anyone making after market parts should always keep this in mind or the product won't sell.

Lets see what TRD is gonna bring to the table... Cause 75k ...... Ouchy.....

[TheGooseman]

Don't know how you get to 420K...?

When you want a +200kw rwd sprots car... I guess "affordability" starts flying out the window...

I mean, people don't mind paying 400k for a Renault or a Golof....!


But anyways... just thought I'd share some info....

It would be nice yes - if someone could provide a good quality, reliable and tested kit for half the price, but I doubt it..!
Let's hold thumbs for TRD....

[Ryan86]

High spec R330k plus R85k super charger plus plus gets you close to R420k.

Everyone to there own, however new Golf 7 will be less and has many more features plus 4 doors which will sway the buyer.

R20k to R30k would be a competitive price in my opinion, whether that's achievable!
