I've been parsing the thread the past few days, looking at my supercharger options. And I'm in a BIT of a problem....a rock and a hard place if you will.
First off I own a 06' Exige and I want more power. Now the question for me is how much is "enough" and what about upgrade ability v.s. price of the first install. Of course price is a concern, but what concerns me most is that I will WANT to upgrade a bit later, and will be screwed if I go with the option I'm leaning toward, which is the Katana.
I feel like the VF isn't an option for me because of price and the complexity of the install.
I like the TVS but it's VERY expensive.
I like the Katana/BWR because of price, but I read it's not really upgradeable.
In the short term I don't want to have to replace my clutch and the like.
So is it true that the Katana is kind of install it and forget about it? Can you not add a bit smaller pulley and some other things here and there to get some more out of it should the desire arise?
I love the TVS because as a base setup, it seems that it can make as much power as you are willing to spend for....BUT as a base setup it's about 2x the cost of the Katana.
If there was a "kit" like the Katana/Bwr without the EFI and such...maybe that would be the way to go? I'm tend to like to buy anything with upgrade potential over things that have reached the end of it's development which is what the Katana feels like.
Will I need more than 45 or so more HP....maybe...maybe not...but it would be nice to know I could.
Anyone else in the same boat?
