does anyone know where to get a soundclip of the kw sc? i cant stand the rattling sounds from the vt/ct and the roots mp sc sounds like my friends mini cooper... that would get annoying to me quickly for a daily driver.

so for daily driving the setup is very quiet.
The car sounds completely stock when I idle

Stock design and the one your looking at are both tri y or 4 into 2 into 1 and are meant to provide a good overall trq/hp curve with less focus on te upper efficiency rpms.

Keep this up guys....LEARNING so much! 
Junky and Camu, I have some questions. If I change my power curve N/A to a much more smoother and linear one, with berk header, SAFC ect...will the power curve be maintained and enhanced with the SOS SC? I understand that the boost will be based on RPM. In theory, I would get my power sooner correct? I also keep on reading that with the berk header, there will be some high end loss, so would I suffer from even more of this loss by adding the SOS SC? Anyway to correct that with the NEO?
My goal is to get the following rpm/torque curve:

As opposed to most regular rpm/torque curves you see:

Notice that the max power is lower on the first one, but the power is more linear and comes sooner.I would then eventually add the SOS aftercooled kit.
Will this approach work?

225+tq from 4500-8000rpm.
200+tq from 3000rpm up!
more power then stock peak power at 4700rpm. super hard linear pull. max power made at 8200RPM ROFL!
and this was on my 8psi dyno. i am now at 9.5psi. god i need to get this thing dyno'd again.
SOS is no doutb a nice kit, and seems improved over VT and CT. but your still gonna be missing the low/midrange. at same boost levels, the roots blower will meet or exceed a centrifugal blower. for instance, the SOS 8.5psi kit made 344whp on dynojet, i made 349 on 8psi on dynojet. peak was damn near the same, but i promise the meat and potatos was quite different

^^^ Nice! When does your kit sign off? Run out of its efficiencay range I mean.
CT/VT/SOS Centrifugal blowers makes 400whp/250trq stock at 12-15psi and near 500whp/290trq with a breathing ported f20 -22. the trq curve is progressive of course.

the noise my Comptech makes at idle. And as far as sounding like a MINI, what year MINI? The new twin scroll turbocharged ones are quieter than the previous supercharged models. I think so anyways.
