Whats the average miles have you S/C boys on your 6/Rallyes.

Ive been extremely tempted by S/Cing mine recently but mine has 130,000 on it now, and id be shit scared of doing all the work then the fooker blow up on me.

How reliable is the Low Boost Set-Up.

My car doesnt do a lot of mileage in a year but in the coming year it will be tracked / and used for a Jaunt back to NI every now and again, can the engine cope with this?

just looking to pick everyones brains really

Mark

Whistle 156k now, 10k supercharged smiles, 6 or 7 trackdays and still not bored of it (still runs great),

If the engines runs fine then supercharging a 135k engine will not be a problem Smile

is your Low Boost or High Boost?

Has your set-up been relible enough?

I've thought about this recently, as next year mine would be 150K easily, and I'm sure I'd have the cash to partake in the SC club.

My Engine Runs fine now, but with 130,000 miles and an upgrade like that it would be niggling in the back of my mind LOL

If you go high boost you will have to change the worn guts of your engine for new and improved stuff anyway. Go high boost straight away! You know it makes sense. Especially as most people go low boost 1st, then crave more power shortly afterwards. Bypass that 1st stage.Cool
