I find the Vmax website is a bit hard to find anything and the pictures are so tiny. It would be nice to see how it fits in the engine bay

I've ordered one, should be here this week and will be making a thread with everything I've done to my clubman. Just haven't had the time to make one yet!

Personally I would go down the podifold route as the eaton m45 supercharger isn't designed to suck fuel through resulting in petrol stripping the Teflon coating from the vanes inside the supercharger. Jon the owner, founder and genius that devloped the podifold manifold is a member on here and is on Instagram too. Look up HubbaHubba's thread on his supercharger build worth a read..

And here is HubbaHubba's thread.
He converted from suck to blow through so someone who know both sides of the supercharger argument

I cant say that I have tried the Vmax kit but I fully recommend the guy who does them. Stuart Gurr has done a lot of work and helped me out a lot with my Mini and goes above and beyond the call of any regular Mini/classic car specialist. He has been doing these kits for ages and really knows his stuff. He is also the one who sold Mighty Car Mods their supercharger with good results.

I'm currently in the process of building an engine with the Vmaxscarts Dcoe Supercharger, Progress is slow at the moment but I have a thread on the build:

The kit looks amazing (I spend a lot of time looking at it in the garage), and Stuart is a top bloke, very helpful.

 

I cant wait to drive it :)
