I haven't ever got anything shipped internationally could you possibly explain the process. Also who was the contact person for the kit. It's amazing how smooth the purchase went. Good luck and as I say in boost we trust till we blow a rod.

But again short blocks cost only 2700 bucks so no worries.

REI: I worked with andrew directly from lotus racing. One thing I can say about him is that he's amazing at what he does and he always replies back to his emails within a day. It has definitely been a pleasure working with him. I highly recommend him if you're looking to get the kit. The way I paid for the kit is that he emailed me the wire info for his bank and I had my amex exchange program handle the transfer. They received the wire next day and package was shipped next day. Can't get easier than that.

Here we go guys, I have put the parts on scale to get an idea what they weight. Looks like the new flywheel is around 12LB and the whole clutch assembly is close to 26LB. Supercharger itself is around 32.6LB. I guess I need to loose some weight to compensate for the gain :)

I'll do the same with the parts we remove to get an idea how much heavier the stock clutch and flywheel is.

I will have more power than the s due to having different tune and free flow exhaust and CAI but I will be looking to change the pulley size later once I get an idea what kind of power I'm making with the current setup and upgrades.
