Default Twin-screw anyone ?

A couple of weeks ago a fellow enthusiast who already had a Twin-Screw kit asked if he could get another one for a second car. This triggered me a little into thinking to make another run as I try to support anyone who has a kit as good as possible. As y current situation allows me to spend time, and also knowing that my business will change which would making kits even harder, I considered making a last batch if the interest is there.

So after some thinking I am open now for to create another batch for the AJ26/27 (if there is enough interest).

Please contact me in the next 2 to 3 weeks, as pending the interest, I can only do 1 batch from that moment, and then it’s it.

Oh man...
This is so tempting, but there's no way I can afford it at the moment. Would it be possible to put together a 'half kit'? Ie everything you need, less the actual supercharger itself? That way I could source the final piece later on, but still take advantage of your amazing offer?

The supercharger itself is not really half of the cost, and I am getting them already at a very good discount, but please contact me and I see what I can do here.

Small bump,

I would like to wrap it up, so please let me know before Sunday the 13th if you are in if you haven’t already communicated with me.

How much does the gas mileage drop with a twin screw supercharger?

The 1st couple of months it will be a little more, that's is something I can assure you ;-)

It all depends on how often you use the power, and also how fast you spin the unit, so continues high speed.

My average before the twin-screw unit was about 13,6 Ltr/100 km, that was about 20% city and 80% highway (but fast/sporty), after the twin-screw kit it was closer to 15 Ltrs/100 km at similar driving style (so fast and sporty). These where measurements of a couple of thousand miles, so a pretty good average for both setups.

So pending your diving style, you can expect about 10% difference.

I have written everyone that I had contact with now with the next steps to order the kit.

If you haven't received a mail but where interested please contact me quickly now if you still want to join.
