An intercooled turbo setup will make more power and cost $3,000 less.

they do say on thier website that they need test cars and on of them is the CL. so maybe one of you guys can get in on it. i know two guys from the company is on here now. and one of them is running a setup on his own TSX and is making power from what he says.

Be nice but I won't hold my breath. That's a long ways away. Many things can happen.
Anyone who wants it made should flood email them. Like we did with comptetion clutch.

How come there is not a single picture of a kit on their website?

And how do they plan on fitting a rotex supercharger in the engine bay without a jackshaft like the comptech blower uses?

I'm not gonna hold my breath on this one, but it will be interesting to see what they come up with.

There are a lot of people acting like this is a kit that has been released and that has been dynoed. I'm not saying it's not a viable option but let's see what they actually release before everyone starts blowing off the only solution/kit released thus far. No one knows anything about this company, and even if they release a kit what about reliability, warranty, customer service?

If it works out it will be interesting b/c it will be a nice option to choose between 2 kits and maybe have the option of intercooling but let's not jump the gun.

I am kidding, I would still take Comptech anyday.

I would like to see everything they have to offer though.

The end result would be 2 superchargers to choose from. That'll be nice in the future.

I always love how companies claim horsepower figures before the first part is even installed.

I'm not holding my breath on this one guys.

RedShift Supercharger

Hi everyone,
I know it's easy to think this isn't going to happen. Claiming hp numbers before installation is very easy actually... air + fuel * heat and flow efficiency variables = hp more or less. Add cylinder knock sensitivity on a given fuel mode and you have something.

Don't fret.... we already have a few CL/TL owners interested in helping out. And we won't be blowing anything up with anything we do on a customer's car.

Summer 07 is very realistic. Thanks for your interest.

Chris at RedShift

Sounds great Chris at Redshift if you can pull this off
BTW, it was determined that Greddy (blue) E-Manage is best to use with J-series FI cars and boomslang offerers PnP harness for J30A1/J32A1/J32A2 and many guys running good maps

Is that the same type blower used in AMG applications?
Not sure if you can eliminate the shaft like Comptech supplies for easy access to coils & plugs, but it would be great (if change needed). And intercooled systems would be the best to offer for more power and safety. Also reliability and price are very important.

Hope you guys succeed!
