Did you make another hole on the bottom side so old grease can be forced out when adding new grease?

Two pics of the new woodruff keys, they will be cut to length and already on the shaft when you get it. These are hardened to the maximum possible for this type of steel!

Awesome. Thanks for all of your hard work with this project. I know it's been a long and stressful project, but we appreciate it. At least I do.

Any more comments? opinions? questions? lol this is months of work here hook it up with some moral support

Also, I have put up the first 2 parts of the tutorial up, i will be adding more annotations, notes, and videos. (all of course in high-def) The full tutorial will eventually be put on the website as soon as I finish it so it will be easy to find.

part 1

Part 2

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmV3PsMjEWo

And lastly, shaft orders have been put temporarily on hold until i figure out some things with the price. Those who ordered early and waiting so long are rewarded with the $400 price, but the shafts cost quite a bit more than expected with the grinding and double balancing so the price will go up for new orders, we are just trying to come to a fair price for everyone else, good news is that the max price ceiling is $500.

Good job man ive been watching this thing since day one because i live in cali and want a supercharger, but have been scared to get one because of all the problems. Looks like its time to save for a used s/c and build it up with this. And once again gompka thanks for all your hard work and dedication. More props to u.

ok guys i have been getting the packaging tubes and packaging stuff ready and will be sending out a few of the shafts tomorrow, maybe all of the orders if i have enough time. I also updated the site and posted the videos there, have 2 more videos i might upload later today or tomorrow. There is also a new price which is $475 check/mo or $490 paypal. Everyone that waited for so many months got the benefit and the original price, the price needed to go up though as it cost much more than expected because of all of the extra work involved.

Thanks again for everyones support!
