Thanks for sharing, i'm surprised there aren't more SC14 setups. Looking forward to seeing more.
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

I like it!

I dare say you'd sell a few bracket sets if you ever wanted to!

How loud do you find the blower without having a throttle body pre-charger? Most of the Eaton guys seem to run dual throttle bodies because of the whine even when off boost.

This is the exact same setup I am looking at doing to my car...I have the sc14 blower sitting in the garage and wouldn't mind getting some brackets of you if you are making them...

Anymore details on the setup??

Perhaps you could convince Danny from MX5 Plus to CAD up some SC14 brackets to lasercut/CNC and sell (if there's enough interest).
