Any shops/vendors working with ASA superchargers?
Just curious if there is anything in the pipeline even if not straight from the manufacturer and to put it on peoples radar.

Isn't that exactly what the Vortech is but from a different brand?
I hate those SC because they are super simple and yet the price is ridiculous for NO reason what so ever. Vortech could cost $2,500 all day long. |

2500$? What ya smoking. R&D is not cheap. Customer service is not cheap as well. Join a manufacturing company and then you may understand.

I built a budget turbo kit for a different car for less than 1500. Its cheap to do by yourself, but there is a lot of extra work to do to make it work how you want it to. You are paying for R&D and all the custom made bits that make it a smooth installation. Also, quality parts.

you can't compare the cost of building your own parts vs. building them to sell to people as a business. i made an intercooler setup for my miata. it cost me like $200 total off of ebay. it worked. but it damn sure wasn't anything like i could've bought from flyin' miata for $700. it's more expensive because they're better at it than you are, and it comes with a warranty.
