Talked to the workshop whos doing the install. The car has been with them since Saturday. They said it will probably be done by today evening :drool: :drool:
Just waiting for their call to go and collect the car. I dont know if an ASA kit has ever been installed in the UAE(this one just might be the first), I cant wait to get the car back.
I will posting some pics of the install soon. :)

Oops sorry i have signatures deactivated as it clutters the thread so i missed the level ten as "next mod".
How much is it going to cost to reinforce the transmission?
Please post a review when you do have it installed.
Good luck :thumbup:

I got the car back. This thing rocks. I can already feel the power. Havent taken it much above 4000rpm, the rpms seem to climb so fast, its almost as if the car was in neutral or so. Just waiting for the initial breakin before i slam it.

Congrats mate! Is it as fast as you expected?
What did you set the ASAtronic to? You got any fault lights on the dash etc?
You doing a Dyno after the break-in?
Anyway have fun dude, and post pictures if you can. :thumbup:

First of thank for the replys guys and for the support in making this project happen, i certainly wouldnt have gone this far without the support of the fanatics on this forum :thumbup:
I really have no idea what the ASA setting is the guy told me its on the highest setting since my car was running lean, my fuel consumption seems to be fine, still the first day so i cant really tell, driven the car about 80miles today. i will get a full tank and make judgement on this point.
I gave the car to pro, he used to be working for jaguar and had tuned many of their supercharged cars, Also he had experience in installing the supercharger kits on x5's and he had done some work on M5's.
I dont have any errors or any lights bothering me. The car feels real smooth.
To be honest i have not punched the car yet since i am still in the breakin period. Been hold back the urge to punch it, but certainly it feels as if it has a V8 under the hood, I mean i can tell even at the lower RPMS (2500-3500) thats its a totally different car. I cant wait to take this thing above the 4500rpm mark :) also even in 5th gear above the 115mile mark the car feels as if it has endless amount of torque.
I dont think i will be getting any dyno of the car, Dunno if there is any place close to me which does a dyno. I will have a run again my father porsche, I guess keeping up with it or even beating it will be the ultimate test :thumbup:
Heres a pic of the install. I am supposed to be taking the car back to the workshop in weeks time just to check if every thing is tight.

Hrm...I do advice that you remove the part in red. It seems awfully close to the pulley. That "part" can be separated from the rest of the aux intake piece. Keep the aux intake piece though, cos you will need it if you decide to install the oil cooler. ;)

its the cut out from my original intake. i stuck a small cloth in between inorder to avoid the dust from coming in, its far from the pulley dont think it would rub against it, but will check it out once again :thumbup:

Dude, does it sound any different?? Can you hear the SC? or are exhuast and engine too loud to hear any ASA's sounds?
Have fun mate, can't wait for you to wear it in and floor it, :thumbup:

I was wondering about that same thing... though It was an ASA thing... but had never seen it installed... i dont think it helps cooling anything.
Paddleshift, do you have pictures of your oilcooler? Maybe a forum link where you posted them... no luck looking for them in the Rennsport forum :)

Actually, now that I look closer at some other people with AA SCer... seems that they do keep it. Do you think it helps with airflow or something? The filter is way down...
I'm gonna review installation instructions again... for those of you that have the option of watching and helping during the installation... go for it!! It's awesome!! Took us three days to do it, but its worth it. I think its 50% installing and 50% driving it :thumbup:

i got headers and sports cats on the car. hence i can barely hear the supercharger. However yes when the radio is off and and between 3000-4000 rpm i can hear a slight wine from the supercharger. it happens when i am acceleration fast.
I was out with my GF just right now. Shes like "how come your car feels so light" :thumbup: good thing is that she wasnt even driving it and she could feel from the cars accelerations that its not the same as before.
