Hi all,

Just wondering, is anybody using an alloy 12G940, all be it forced induction or not?
If so, what’s your thoughts.
What, other then the weight, would be the main benefits?
With all the changes I’m making, ive been considering this.

Thanks
Chris

I was looking at it more from the weight saving and added cooling ability due to the higher intake temperatures generated by the supercharger.
