You must be proud.
I've seen your other posts and you're pretty hard on people who get things wrong. You might like to think about his thread before you blast somebody next time.

Yea... Not bad at all for 6 psi! How hard is it going to be to change the psi? Thanks

Just put a new pulley on. Boost will be changed at the crank pulley like our Miata kits.
Personally that's not something I'm a big fan of, though it's probably no big deal. Is it possible to change the pulley at the supercharger, or provide a crank pulley with a seperate drive for the s/c (seems like unnecessary extra $$$ though, with extra pulley, tensioner, and belt)? Changing the crank pulley is also a bit of a hassle as I recall. That bolt is torqued to some astronomical number.

Vortech isnt CARB certified.
BTW, I know I am not authorized to speak but I am really dissappointed in the torque #'s - and this is on an ap2. Sure the torque graph is nice but I still think the amount needs to be higher. If it had a max of 240- 260 rwtq I would be interested.

The torque "curve" looks like it was practically drawn with a rule and you're dissappointed?

I just looked at the comptech website to see the dyno sheet on their supercharger. It looked like the peak horsepower was around 285 and the peak torque was around 190 and this is LINEAR. This supercharger is putting up the same if not higher numbers with the flat curve and it is still in the development stage. I can't wait for the final product to come out!
With this I MIGHT have a chance in beating my brother in his 02 M3!

Maybe, maybe not. We've thought about doing an M3 kit as well.
