Been there once. Actually just had a verbal conversation. They seem to talk the talk. But be prepared to spend top dollar on labour. It's quite a drive to essex. I think the midlands are full of good workshops.

Andy
Have you seen the Mase kit?

It makes more power, looks a simpler conversion ( it may be pricier )
But the "boost per gear" mapping he does appears to be more sympathetic to the car mechanicals.

Mase Turbo kit.


I know of 1 or 2 SC powered guys that if they had their time again would go the turbo route.

Considering I am favouring the SC route over the Turbo one I would be interested to hear why.

Further expansion to big numbers being easier with a turbo setup or otherwise?

They seemed like good guys when I went there earlier this year. I think that one of the guys has a supercharged civic. They seem to do a lot of work on the jap turbo sports saloons like Skylines and Supras etc.

Mark posts on here in the traders section. I posted some details and pictures when my car went in.

Paul has not fitted a SC to an s2000.
Done plenty of Civic's though
Hence why he recommend TDi- South
Not sure they have done too many either
They are a site sponsor so push for a discount
