Supercharger Installed Reviews!!
As I see from Greg's website that the entire 1st batch of his supercharger is now 'sold out', can we get some comments from those who have purchased and installed them ?? For example, ease of installation, clarity of instructions that Greg provided, unforseen difficulties, post installation performance, general level of satisfaction, suggestions for possible improvements etc etc.

John, give it some time. The first complete production kit reached it's owner in Europe just yesterday.
The buyer, who is an actual mechanic did find a few small problems with the instructions. These related to automotive terms not translating well into other languages. You know, it's the old hood is a roof and bonnet is a hood issue.
I also failed to write instructions for the windshield washer kit which includes a new motor and other parts. I didn't think I needed to since the kit comes with its own instructions but I guess I should write my own version.
There may be a trouble spot relating to vacuum lines. My instructions assume a U.S. spec car and it seems that the Euro 75 3.0 MAY not have a vapor cannister. I don't know for sure yet. In any case I will work that out.

Greg,surely the type of person purchasing your kit has a half decent knowledge of mechanics and should be able to work around small litle things as youv`e mentioned above.Try fitting something to a Nissan gtr that comes from Japan with Japanese instructions translated in to English.!!A total novice should realy not be getting into fitting a charger to his car without some technical backup.Be it a manual or a mechanic......
A vapour canistor and the guy is sort of stumped??

Barry, this guy is quite smart, he could probably put the kit on with no instructions at all. However I asked him to use the instructions to help pinpoint any possible trouble spots.
While technically a bolt on product it does require some knowledge to install. It's comparable in difficulty to a timing belt change.
