Here you go. Another small but nice feature about these new units is the steel braided oil drain line is coated in a clear sheathing. I must have donated at least 20 separate finger drops of blood when dealing with my old unit.

What psi/pulley comes with these? There are some deals going on now if it just comes with the 8 psi.

I was talking to topz yesterday and he said his full kit will come with all the right pulleys. I didn't clarify if that was with the pulley spacer etc from tbatt but if it is i already got one from tbatt so you could get mine if thats the case

Pretty sure you have the wrong forum member listed. I’m not running a SCer or Topgunz A2A upgrade.

You can try it. But you will lose some power due to the insane bend in the coupler that needs to fasten to the SC. I tried a few different setups and the one I supply made the most. Also, I think it is just as hard, if not harder to take the front bumper off instead of 5 bolts from the engine bay. No need to jack the car up also.

I'll have a play over winter
Mines of the road now any way so plenty time to play with it
I might find I stick with the filter on the blower bit personally I find removing the charger a right knuckle scraper.
How much power difference was you seeing topz

Hey TopgunZ how do you release the tensioner for the belts except by jacking it up and going at it from below?

You can get at either tensioner from above. Either use a 3/8 drive breaker bar (need at least 2' for enough force to move tensioner) for the serpentine tensioner or use a 9/16 (I believe) crowfoot with some extensions, and electrical tape to hold the crowfoot on, to turn the SC tension bolt. You'll have to forcibly move some coolant hoses out of the way (not disconnecting them) to get to the serp tensioner.

It is much easier to get both from below.

You don't need to take the whole bracket off. Just the sc.
