+78 whp = 268 whp? Strong dyno if stock car made 190 whp

not a fan of that kit, but take a look at the rear of the ABflug twin. THat's a sexy rear

[Enzobrz]

Not bad, but it's very expensive: 7.500 €, more or less 10.000 dollars

Power outside US is in HP and not in WHP.
Is it so difficult to understand ?
That car is sold for 200hp, no need to talk/think about WHP that requires a conversion...

But... WHP is what is measured on rollers (the dynos most people have access to and what is shown in the first picture). Crank HP or manufacturer's advertised HP is what needs to be converted since they're measured at the crankshaft rather than the wheels.

Edit: to clarify - WHP isn't about measurement convention like SAE or PS. It is rather, about location like at the wheels, brakes, or crankshaft.

Guys, it's a centrifugal kit. Who cares? Vortech already has one, and it produces better gains, not to mention being street legal in two major continents already.

If you like centris, I see no reason to look at some random Italian tuner developing his own supercharger kit a year after the other players.

Right, because every one lives in the U.S. You call Romeo Ferraris random? lol. You might like to look into that.

sorry guys...
the Romeo kit is the Vortech, tuned by them:


unfortunately Ferraris is famous in Italy for the price, and not for the results of his kits...

we are struggled by this situation, in Italy tuners think only about how to make more money, not to build cars and passion as in other countries seems to be...

P.S. here in Italy, a stock gt86 (fr-s) made 167 WHP.......

in Italy is a lot more difficult, you have to remove plates, bolt on the FI kit, take an engineer to make a relation about your car (hp gain and eventually brakes, other stuff), than make a verification for the motor vehicle registry and then get new plates.... or, you sell the car to Germany, you build it with FI , then get TUV approved, and finally rebuy it, with new plates again...

a guy did it with the Greddy Tuner kit, i don't know for sure but the cost should have been around 5000€ (parts and work excluded...)...

All of Europe?
Maybe in certain countries. But in most of the countries it's illegal to modify your engine.
I live in Belgium and the only engine-mod allowed here is a CAI (because it isn't proven that it gives you more HP).
All the rest is forbidden (remap, changing of the OEM turbo, headers, etc...)
And if they see you bolted on a supercharger/turbo then you are really f***ed, you aren't allowed to drive the car anymore, You can loose your insurance.
Even a BBK is forbidden (explanation: because the guy driving behind you doesn't know that you can stop faster then original)
The only things allowed here are bodykits, rims and lowering. All with the necessary papers and installed by a shop.
