Twin screw supercharger

Rebel Auto Worxs.


Does anyone have this?

Or know how it holds up?

Throw some reviews at me, or info, or something.

Thanks!

I saw one dyno chart with a rl that had one and it made pretty good power for the little supporting mods that it had but as far as the cost and reliability on one I have no clue..

The kit failed for the reasons that I listed. It wasn't because it didn't work right or anything like that. Something like 10 people put in $1000~ deposits to get a kit, and IIRC, only one person ever got their kit. And he ended up selling it off to ZZP. Never heard anything about it after that.

Plus rebel auto worx is known to screw people over for all there products. I got fucked over by them on a cf trunk...luckly i didnt loose any money. I was moving/driving from the east coast to the west coast and i called them, asking if they had the trunk, they said yes. I made a verbal and written agreement by email saying they would hold the trunk for me (for approx 2-3 days) and i would pick it up. I asked 5 or so times if i had to make a deposit to keep it in my name, they said no. I finally arrived where in the town they are located....they had no trunks in stock. I asked if they even had any or if they sold all of them in the last day or so...they said they sold the last one (my trunk) 1 day prior to me arriving. I asked why they sold it when i had a agreement that i would pick it up. They said because i didnt put a deposit on it.

Of course other people got fucked over alot harder then i did but its **** like that, that no one wants to buy **** from them

I had the finalized kit. They made the appropriate changes according to my testing, reviews, and recommendations. I sold it off because I need the money more than the twinscrew at that point. It made good power, but I never finished dialing it all in. Just buy the TVS as it's a direct bolt on and has the ability to push more airflow anyhow.

I want a TVS, but not as much as I wanted this kit.

Sounds like a bat outta hell. ha.

I guess i'll go with the tvs now that I know all this though.
