If the OEM price for a supercharger is as low as some have indicated, could you get them at a low enough price to have them re-worked to maximize efficiancy/performance?
Being able to do that would eliminate some of the concern over the difference between our stock SC and the 'new and improved ' JCW unit.
Just a thought.........

Can't wait for Cincinatti - more specifically the day after. Seeing my arch-nemesis, Boxster Boy, in the rear view mirror will be a hoot. 'Why no, I haven't had anything done to Mouse. Maybe you should take your car in for service.'

'Don't try to explain. it only confuses them.'

There is nothing special about the JCW supercharger other than the 15% reduction pulley that is on it. I have one so my supercharger is essentially the same thing as the JCW supercharger.

It's the exact same supercharger!

The pulley is just replaced. The supercharger unit itself is the same. They then take your old supercharger and charge you the freight to return it to the U.K. (to get reworked into the "new Works supercharger?).

Chris is right - but Hartge does do some modification to the Eaton. I have a core unit here for research purposes
