Thanks Nassty, the blower is just a CAPA kit from Melbourne. It really made a huge difference. The engine has done over 130 000 kms with the blower and it has been worked hard if you know what I mean!

In the next month I am probably going to drive the ute down to Brisbane to get an engine rebuild. It is starting to burn some oil so it's either sell it or rebuild the engine. Seeing the bottom end is stock I am suprised it has lasted this long, so some H-beam rods and low compression pistons will be in order and it might even get stroked to. One thing I do know is a bigger blower has already been ordered.

I am suprised for the amount of HP a CAPA kit gives and the price reduction over the last 2 years that more people don't put a centrifugal in their cars. Especially quad cam engines. Actually the TE50 would love one!
