awesome, glad to know it is still in the works. Any word on if it will work with a carbed engine?

I don't plan on developing the entire turbo system, only the header. So you'd have to plumb it through a carb on your own

That's debatable... Ive owned some 30 cars in my life and all have been factory turbo cars from the factory then heavily modified with the exception of my Fiats' and Alfas' and only because there weren't any available. I can assure you for me there isn't anything better then a turbo! So easy to tune and double, triple the factory horsepower with simple bolt ons. I've had several '97/'98 Toyota Supras' all with huge single turbo conversions from the terribly small and stock sequential twins with all the supporting mods ie, fuel, tuning software, intercooler, stock long block, ect... Depending on the snail you stuff under the hood they'll put down close to 550 to 650 WHP on pump gas. My last car put down 630 to the wheels on pump (93) and 19/20 lbs of boost and 780 on C16 and 27/28 lbs of boost, this on a STOCK long block from the factory, no internal mods what so ever. My dream Fiat Spider would be something with and nice responsive low compression high boost motor to whip around the turns with the top down, nothing would sound better! A boy can dream... :D

not a lot of demand for this, so it's still on the to-do list. The supercharger project has moved in front of a turbo header. One issue with the turbo header is what flange to use. Everyone has a different idea for which turbo they want to use

I will throw my vote to the Tial V-band flange :D So versatile and easy to mount!

Looked and looked, can't see the Buy-it-Now button for Supercharger, or Turbo :(

Am I looking in wrong spot? Or... do I add to my "wishlist"?? :D :D :shock:
Due to recent budget cuts and the rising cost of electricity, gas, and oil, we have decided to turn off the light at the end of the tunnel. We apologize for any inconvenience.

supercharger kit is in the works, but first we're finishing the setup for the 500 since it's a much larger market then we'll complete the Spider kit

designing and building the intake manifold is progressing. It's not an overnight task. It's expensive and time consuming
