Yet, another TVS received!

Well, got the blower in the mail today...I must say it looks amazing. Test drove it breifly until I can get a good day to do work on the tune. I seemms like it builds boost QUICK, just wants to fly. Idle it sounds about like the m62..but driving is much quieter. Anyways, here's a few quick pics.



next to the m62


and installed

Buy the TVS, ship it to my house, and I'll cut it out with my pocket knife, and send it off

Do you think with the 3.5" you will be okay on 60lbs injectors?
When do you plan to dyno with new blower?

The install was pretty straight forward......I would suggest getting some regular bolts to replace the allen head bolts. They are a bit tricky to get to, and the ones on the pasenger side of the blower are a little tricky to get in. To tighen the bolts I took an allen wrench and cut it down enough to get it int he bolts straight so I didn't strip them out. The MAP sensor needs to be dremeled down on one side of the mounting point, then rotated to clear the blower. It's a good bit bigger then the stock M62.

As far as sound....it is much quieter sofar then the M62, even though I haven't floored the car yet. I can tell this thing will be fun.....it just wanted to get up and go with the slightest touch of gas

Until recently, I haven't paid attention to these S/C's. Now that I have another SS/SC I may be interested. How much are these???

so for 2250 you get the whole kit, and all you "need" (i know... supporting mods are best too) is injectors, belt, and a tune, is that right?

And... any word on when/where these are 'officially' available to the public? Or, did I miss the thread and they already are?

I want!!!!!

well, for 2250 you'd get the blower which pretty much just bolts up. You will need a minimun of 60lb injectors and a tune.......stock belt will work if you stick with a stock size pulley.

Rod...no...you made a promise...

Plus, with the other car, why would you possibly need any more power?

Also, are there any videos of this supercharger on a car to get a feel for the sound?

I know, I won't do it and as you said I have the other one so this one stays non-performance modded. Matty says he is at about 270-275 to the wheels so I will keep my promise Dan. After I put the coilovers in that is, because that is for my wifes comfort. Well maybe just tint too, so we can do it in the back seat.
