    Default zt 260 supercharger

    Does anyone have it done, what effect did the supercharger have on the mpg, are the standard brakes really up to it, and what hit did your insurance take for the supercharger.

    Just doing the sums just now and dont want to commit to a pointless excercise if its just like burning a pile of £50's

    As Lowey says, GO FOR IT

    MPG - Better than standard if you drive at the limit with little right foot
    worse if you floor it but not to bad

    Brakes, not an issue, fitting of yellow stuff pads helps

    Insurance - just had my renewal from Peter best £ 360.00 f/comp protected

    If you love your car and plan to keep it , then it just has to be done

    I doubt there are many on here who wouldn't do it if they could

    thanks for the feedback guys, ive been looking at

    BMW M5, loads of fun and big bills but have to watch where i park it etc

    Monaro, had a drive but it still felt like a rapid calibra to me.

    MG, sold my 190 and now just going to go for a 260 and get it straight to dreadnought garage before i change my mind.

    The Kenne Bell Supercharger kit is designed to be weekend diy mechanic friendly. I took a week off work to fit my kit and had nothing to do tuesday afternoon . Wednesday went to pub (got a bollocking). Thursday took car for mapping. Friday emptied fuel tank TWICE

    The Kenne Bell SC starts from $3900 which is "cheap". As I live in Sweden, who can remap the engine? Do they need the T4 or can they access the Ford ECU otherwise?
    There is no substitute for cubic inches!

    With the cruise set at 80mph I can get to Lonbridge on one tank (320 miles). Motorway all the way except for 21 miles. Paul managed 27 mpg returning one car.
