TTS are one of the main importers of the rotrex. Do you need fitting on top of that?

Im running the stage 1 kit which im quite impressed with. The bolts for the charger should be uprated as mine worked loose when the previous owner had it, luckily its not attached to the timing belt like the Jackson is so no damage can be done. I'd also recommend Uprated engine mounts, Ive got mugen ones with ES inserts and have just fited an engine damper too.

The picture os obviously not of a DC5 and it sits much lower down. You do lose you AC.

What else do you need to know?

Doesn't the Jackson run on the alternator belt or something? DC5's don't have a timing belt :-k

No probs mate, think the safety is the reason most people Supercharge rather than Turbo

But didnt they supply a new supercharger as a replacement?
That could have been down to bad fitting, rotrex has its own oil reserve so they could have used the wrong oil or not fitted it correctly.
