Cool Twin-screw anyone? (For the 4.2 owners)

No one know me probably on this part of the forum, but in short I have made some twin-screw kits for the 4.2 STR/XJR in the past (amongst others) but stopped last year. Now I am able to do one more batch of kits, and as the XF 4.2 is relatively the same and I could possibly use the STR/XJR here as well for it.

Although I am pretty sure the kit for the STR/XJR will fit the XF as well, I would need some measurements info, but I know the specifics to ask, just to be sure...

The 2.1L kits are not the same as the 2.6L I have made, but these still provide a very good power level pending on other mods, somewhere in the 450 rwhp, or a good 500 engine hp (to be on the safe side), and possibly more importantly it is at a much lower cost than the 2.6L kits, although these where able to deliver much more hp).

Please contact me in case you are interested in a kit like this, I would need to know within 2 to 3 weeks in order to combine the orders and keep the costs low, and this is a one off!

PMs send.

If you can remove the original supercharger, you can install the new one, its that easy for the 2.1L kit. There is some minor work to be done though, some drilling to make bolt holes larger and some sanding (hand belt sander) will do the trick.

Hardest part (at least for the STR/XJR models) is always getting the EGR off, that can be a real pain.

The 2.6 kit was about 2500 euros more expensive, and although the interest obviously was high with everyone, few took the actual step. I'll send a pm.
