Do you have proof for all the haters, and unenlightened?

Don't have any , only my G-timer.
I think 25 lbs sc, w/a injection and two Optimas is proof
Do You guys think I can dyno it - it can run only 15 sec. at the time?

That Thomas knight guy is legit, I saw something o n TV (discovery no doubt) that had him on it, he's been trying to build this thing for years.

Good show kirill for installing.

How much did it cost? did you do it yourself?

I don't think I'd do it, but it's an interesting option.

15sec should easily give you a single (or three) Dyno runs. Remember a dyno is only 3rd gear from 0rpm to 3rd gear red line.

It cost me $1000 for the blower (8 months ago)
Optimas $220
w/a injection $200.
Yes I did it myself.

BTW Thanks for dyno advice I'll do it when I do something with my FM

If I might ask a few more questions...

How quickly does it recharge? i.e. how quickly between 15sec spurts?

What made you decide to go this route?

have you taken the car to the dealership service since you had it installed? What did they make of it?

On a scale of 0-10, 10 being installing a turbo, 0 being changing a headlight bulb, how easy was the install?

How does it sound when you fire it up? Does it Whirl?

Any other thoughts, comments, experieneces?

Thanks for sharing.

Its easy to install when You know where everything goes - so it's only hard for your head - thinking 24 h/d.
I would give it "8"

no, i have not been taken the car to dealer

Yes it whirls (did You see the video?)

I did not get this sc for the tC I got it for another car I lost

You can do many 15 sec. runs on one set of the batterys, the problem is electric
motor has to cool of after each run

The good thing about it is it takes no power from engine, its like NOS, but refil free
