Again, this is coming from them. So if it is true and accurate, it'll be a great option. |

They also are apparently using a hub dyno which is fairly uncommon, and likely to lead to appreciably different readings from what we're used to seeing. |

Both Oscars (Sr & Jr) did quote the "T-I-Y" kit as a $3995 price point. This included an intercooler, all the necessary essentials AND a SETRAB oil cooler for the SC unit.
Essentially, this is a more economically priced unit than the similar HKS setup, with an easier install (no restriction plate either) and offers us another FI option that I think might be interesting. Here are some of the pics... What was interesting was Oscar Sr saying that they've put >12000 miles on the car with the kit already and the dyno pack (Hub Dyno) numbers I saw was about 280ish WHP / 218#s TQ (SAE corrected) and was told on two occasions that those were 91 Octane numbers, stock fueling, 9 PSI pulley. Kit purportedly comes out in Oct 2013. Bob @ Drift-Office, LLC |

Looks like its the oil reservoir for the supercharger unit. The accordion looking thing may be an oil filter coming from the oil cooler???

For those complaining about the "look" of the kit in the engine bay: go buy a turbo

This comes at the expense of extra heat from the planetary gearset, which is why you see this kit using an oil cooler while the vortech has a simple resevoir system. Someone correct me if I am wrong
