Harrop had an open day here in Melbourne Aus last weekend. I went along and took a factory tour. Very impressive state of the art facilities. I was able to have a close look at a number of their setups including their time attack 86, all of which were very nice high quality builds. I know where my money is going when I am ready for FI

I can vouch for the reliability of this kit. Had mine put on at 45000km in October 2015. I'm nearly at 80000km on the odo. That's 35000km or 21875 miles of daily driving in the last 2 years without issues.

I would expect nothing less of Eaton and Harrop. I'm glad to see some kits that have a good number of distance on them. Means youre enjoying your FI more!

Thumbs up

Finally picked up the car from Neal @The Racers Line on Saturday!

For me, having this supercharger added more personality to the car.
It added just enough power for me to be satisfied with how it performs.

The car feels very similar to stock under normal and highway drives, but when I push the gas pedal a bit, the car pulls with ease, which I think is the reason why the car feels very solid and reliable as many people have already mentioned in previous comments.

Only thing that is noticeably different from stock is the throttle mapping.
When I'm at a stop and try to get the car rolling, I need to push the gas pedal about 10 percent to get the engine to rev up.
Before, I could push the pedal about 1-2 percent and could get the engine to rev up lightly.
So that needs some change in my driving habits but that's something I can easily adapt to.

And big thanks to Neal @The Racers Line for quick, clean, and thorough install of the kit!

He explained to me what to do and what not to do with the kit so I know what to expect.

Here are some pics of the supercharger on my car!

First, car looks great!

Secondly, which Oil Cooler are you running?

Looks like the Perrin. Which I am also using, and fits/works well with this kit.

Thank you! I am considering pairing this SC with the Jackson Racing Dual Radiator/Oil Cooler for street use and mild track use.

If you decide to go that route, please post back! I would love to see how that fits with this setup.

Right now, my cooling stack is 5 HX deep (oil cooler, trans cooler, sc cooler, ac condenser, radiator). Something like the JR would be a huge win for me.
