Because of that, I would not choose a liquid-air intercooler. Rotrex is the safest supercharger to install on our cars and it puts the least strain on the engine due to lower torque at low rpm. When/if the Rotrex unit fails, it is extremely easy to replace. Oh I forgot to mention in my previous post, Rotrex superchargers give better fuel mileage than PDS units because they are more efficient. I have actually even better fuel consumption than stock with JRSC when driven normally.

OEM's use the Eaton (e.g. Audi S5 B8). How many OEM's use a centri?

I made my decision based on the number of Rotrex replacements I've read about on this forum, and the fact that the Eaton-based blowers use an OEM quality charger. I was going to get the Edelbrock kit (was waiting on the 2017+ update at the time), but a used Cosworth popped up nearby so I just went with that. Actually glad I went Cosworth now due to the number of bypass valve issues with the Edelbrock.
