Wow! I emailed the company but I had not any reply. How much did you pay? I would be happy to have around 220 HP instead of 147. I am thinking to have a Thorney Motorsport VX220 NA Power Pack 4 - £2749 first, then then Rotrex.

Again, any information is welcomed :groupjump:

spending a lot of money on throttle bodying then throwing them away when you fit a retorex? not really the way to go :P

Well,

The Rotrex gives more power, so I should go for the SC. Why you say that 'throwing them away when you fit a retorex'?

because the ITB kit is a replacement of the tb system so if you where going to supercharge it then you would have to take it all off and replace with the charger etc etc.... however if you ITB'd your car and then rotrex supercharged it, you will have a very very unique beast!

How do I know what size pulley to go down to if I want to raise the boost by a set amount ? Now that i have a stronger bottom end it may be worth fitting a smaller pulley, but how much smaller ?
