Impressive. Most people are either too lazy, too busy, or lack the skill and knowhow to do custom builds or fabricate their own parts. Probably gives you more pride in it. I once got to use some CAD software and a prototype machine to build a replacement part for one of my cars. It was just some bizarre plastic piece that was part of the overhead sunglasses compartment latching system, but I was proud of it nonetheless.

I'm sure someone will do this swap soon after the motors become available but I wouldn't be the one to even consider it.

I have to say thats pretty cool. I would have never guessed you could have put all of that together for the kinda of money. I wish I had a confidence to take on a project like that, I just don't know enough about supercharging to even attempt it.

That plus my machine shop consists of a drill press, table saw, jigsaw, cut-off wheel and a die grinder. I didn't know I could do it either, saw what others were doing and charging outrageous prices for, so I just put my mind to it and did it.
