Superchargers

[lou Girardin]

Does anyone know details on the kits advertised in the For Sale section. The
unit in the photo doesn't look familiar, from the size of it it seems to be a
centrifugal unit.

it's the VF centrifugal supercharger, ie not positive displacement like the Jackson Racing/Eaton ones. A search on miataforum.com will yield more info than I can misquote

If anyone else is interested and doesn't know... Flyin Miata is bringing out their own (twin screw?) supercharger "soon" !

Thanks Jeff. Wonder what dealer support will be like for us in the Antipodes.

my rhetorical answer is: really good !

I ordered my goodies (2-3 kg of small stuff) and received it in 3 working days!! Of course it took over a week to make it out of customs, but that's a separate issue. Shipping was pretty cheap too , US$60, not much more than I'm paying now to ship some stuff from Finishline in Virginia to California (tourist delivery!

Bill and Keith at FM, and Glen at DataLogLab all answered my silly newbie questions promptly and courteously. More than I could manage if I was in their position.

I meant support from the VF makers, there's been a lot of wailing and gnashing
of teeth on the Miata forum about them.
FM have always been the standard setters.
