I guess everyone missed the Excellence article where they pulled the pants down on ZUCS a few years back for their intake that made LESS HP on the dyno?? ZUCS stood for Todd Zucione. Same guy who owns EVO. He shut down "ZUCS" and renamed it "Evolution Motosports". Buyer beware. Now he has worked with Sharkswerks to crack the security code on the GIAC software and will be facing LARGE lawsuits. GIAC dumped them like a bad habit after working with them for years.

EVO Intake

Why hasn't someone come up with a low boost supercharger that goes where the AC compressor is now? It's right next to the air intake box. I would gladly trade my AC (which I use once a year) for a SC.

Good question!

The space under the intake for the AC compressor is VERY small. I believe you would have an issue with belt slippage also considering how far away the belt tensioner is from the compressor location.

Do you use your defrost? It turns the AC compressor on when you do

Yes! Imagine kit it easily the best kit out there!! I was involved with the very first TPC Supercharged Boxster 2.5 car. They did not have the fuel issues nailed down. The car was featured in Panorama, written up by Bruce Anderson back in 98 or 99.

Recently, I was involved with the removal of a kit that had been on a 2.5 engine for over 60k miles before it melted a piston
