Some amazing work on the interior, it is going to be as stunning as the rest of the car when finished

How is the car after the remap to suit the supercharger?

P.S. If you happen to have any more exterior pictures don't be shy to share

The car now drives so well! The combination of sounds from the supercharger and the exhaust are stunning! The only downside is that due to the bypass valve that I am currently using, the car is a little bit loud while idling. I am hoping to change the bypass to a different type soon so that should fix that issue.

The only recent photo I have is this one:



Excuse the bit of timber... I was adjusting the hand brake at the time so it was to prevent it rolling away!

Looking really good.
How many miles on the engine when you fitted the blower? Was the engine rebuilt for it?

Thanks!
The engine had done 90000 miles when the charger was fitted. It did not have a rebuild prior to the charger due to running relatively low levels of boost. It is setup to run with 6psi of boost at the moment but this could change in future.
