Also the kits are no longer available. Mariah Motorsports use to sell them.

That's pretty much the limit of that blower, there have been people who've rebuilt the casing with some upgraded parts (search for pianoprodigy). For the most part they tend to put out around 220whp pretty reliably, this is why the N/A driveline usually holds up pretty well since it's not too dramatic. It definatly does make for a fun vehicle though, makes me miss all of my custom SC setups I had.

Just picked up the S/c that was in this car, along with a host of goodies to support it- it's going into the 'vert as soon as the rebuild (got 165k on the odo and taking no chances) and Sonicrat gets me that microtech- we'll see what boost feels like topless- and good luck on the 3 rotor setup, Chris!!!
