Well it took six months but I've started to gather the parts to supercharge. I'm trying to do it as cheaply as possible. I'm doing quite well, I've got most of the bits, I think. I need a charge cooler pump and reservoir, just wondering what people's thoughts are on cost effective options. What have you used? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

It depends what you are after. LSJ one plastic fill/reservoir tank is cheap but very small. Alloy Racing Fabrication tank is big and most commonly used. The Bat man on here can usually do you a deal or the fleabay would be a source. I have an OEM LSJ plastic filler neck if you go that route.

I guess I'm not really sure which way to go. The alloy racing fabrication one is £90 are there other options? I did wonder if having an alloy header tank of that size in the engine bay adds some unwanted heat into the system? What about pumps? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

some DIY sc builds have used OEM header tanks, from other manufacturers. Really depends what fits in the space available.

I'd asked for the gaskets, throttle body to charger and manifold to head. But they didn't turn up with the charger. What is best to use? Is the standard head to manifold one ok? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

either buy the sc gaskets from the states or speak to 'The Batman'

 

the gasket for 'inlet manifold to head' is the same as the z20net and b207 inlet manifold gasket
