Guys who have this kit "now" seeing any clutch slippage? In cabin how about any noise? I've heard comments it's fairly stealth but would like to hear from users on this.

Also are any users now running just stock motor mounts?

I do wish the layout of the piping was kore like litchfields layout but I also understand how it is works fine. Mostly a cosmetic thing I suppose.

Relatively stealth but there's definitely a whine on full throttle. Kinda sounds like a jet.

No clutch slippage. Totally smooth idle ( smoother than stock). No noticeable power dip/valleys.

Car FEELS very 'stock', or at least what stock should have been from the factory. Power isn't overwhelming.. it's just 'right' if that makes sense.

And all I have is a Perrin cat back.

I'm fully stock, with a couple thousand miles now and there is no signs of clutch slippage. The sound from the supercharger isn't really noticeable unless you know what to listen for, but when you are on the throttle you will hear the suction.

Thanks for trying. I didn't get anything out of those, visually. Simply holding your phone horizontally so the camera enters landscape mode as well as a solid suction cup mount would greatly benefit your video quality. Sounded great, though. More subtle than I thought.

Definitely looks to be pulling harder than the stock clutch can keep a handle on. That's a good problem.

I have just figured out what I want for Christmas (maybe). Mrs. Spoilsport drives a stage 1 wrx, I hope she'll understand

.

To clarify... what is it that the oil cooler provided cools? S/C oil only (evidently yes)? I.e. do I need to add *another* cooler for the engine (evidently yes)?

As well... what's the typical life expectancy of the S/C for street use? Are they rebuildable? (from Rotrex site, "pretty good" and "no", respectively)

Was it the clutch or the tires slipping?

Doubt he's slipping the tires at 50mph. Just saying

I'm impressed regardless. Sounds very, very nice.
