Would love Dave or Russel from Carco to give their 2 cents worth, I think they've supercharged a few ACT MX-5s.

I know they've added intercoolers to some and autronics to some too.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Yep

Where's the air filter and AFM?

From what I've seen the throttle body is on the back of the SC, so the intake pipe goes down the side of the engine near the oil filter and comes out underneath the alternator - the AFM is relocated to the back of the Air Filter

If you have a look at the instruction manual on the FFS site - on page 48 it shows a picture of the air filter from the underside of the car with the splashtray removed

Next dumb question - will it fit a RHD car and miss the brake booster?

I sent FFS a dozen underbonnet pics of mine from all different angles (and I did mention the brake booster). He sent a few pics back with a tape measure on this or that. According to Tom he believes there will be plenty of room. I think it will be pretty squeezy in there personally. I'm thinking an oil filter relocation kit to be kind to my mechanic (as he's a good guy

) might be a good idea. Time will tell really. The good thing is he seems to have the sort of attitude where making it work for us RHD'ers if there was a problem would be important to him (not to mention the financial aspects)

Cheers

And also considering that they are now advertising on this site :mrgreen:

Hopefully any issues will be sorted with Chris' kit
