Message: <blockquote data-quote="gerard" data-source="post: 274642" data-attributes="member: 7656">shelby& raikkonenA new supercharger unit (alone) as per the same output as the re-con ones we are using....will set us back around RM6-7k minus the tax and freight...We did made enquiries and wanted to use new superchargers for our kit but the said price is a major set back as this would elevate the entire bolt on kit's price to around RM10 k plus. Yes,! The one you read in hupertune some months ago was indeed our GTI and yes!, it's using a re-con supercharger.These superchargers is a piece of hardware that is low in maintenance and difficult to break...I can safely say that because I've used supercharger in my kembara for for 3 years plus boosting at 1 bar (with other upgrades) and the supercharger in the GTI is now nearing it's 4th.The beauty of superchargers as compared to turbochargers, is that these sc units uses it's own special oil in it's own oil reservoir for lubrication unlike turbo which uses the engine oil for lubrication, in a case of a damaged turbo, you will get loads of white smoke as oil leaks into the hot manifold and oil presure begins to drop, if you continue to drive, the engine oil presure will drop to a point where it will cause serious damage to the internals of the engine.... :o Superchargers lubricating oil needs to be change every 12 months, cost is at around RM200 (plus workmanship). You can still drive the car normal, without boost IF the supercharger JAMS or the sc belt snaps, it won't cause any damage to the internals of the engine.. :rolleyes: Hope I manage to clear some doubts for you guys on this matter... :D Cheers</blockquote>
