Yup, but Evasive seems to think it's a good kit, the new version's piping looks good, the present kit sells for $4525, and the new kit should be slightly cheaper. Compared to the competition, it doesn't seem so bad.

One thing I am not completely sold on is the HKS supercharger itself. Can anyone comment on the oiling system it uses, does it need an external cooler - how often does it need to be changed?

I know a lot about the Rotrex and Vortech units, but there's no way the HKS unit can be as prevalent in the market - just curious about the life and potential issues to expect.

It doesn't, but HKS quality has generally left a lot to be desired. I admire the piping and the "appropriately sized" IC, for sure.
